Can I use this for existing MCP tools?

Yes, the skill is ideal for refining and auditing existing tool schemas to improve their reliability, validation, and error reporting.

What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP)?

MCP is an open standard that enables developers to build secure, two-way integrations between their data sources and AI models like Claude.

How does this skill optimize token usage?

It suggests omitting redundant input data in responses and using progressive detail patterns to provide only the most relevant information based on confidence scores.

What are the different tool types supported?

It provides specific patterns and token budgets for Query (fast discovery), Lookup (detailed information), and Analysis (deep/expensive) tools.

How does it help with error handling?

It provides a standardized structure for error responses including specific codes, schema hints for the LLM, and actionable next steps to guide the user toward success.
