mcp-tool-descriptions is a cursor rule for Cursor from ohah/react-native-mcp. It costs 263 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for writing descriptions of MCP tools, which let AI systems call functions. It also covers the descriptions shown for tool parameters.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when registering MCP tools or writing English descriptions for their functions and parameters.
Why use it?
It keeps tool information clear and consistent for both AI systems and their users, while limiting unnecessary setup text.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

mcp-tool-descriptions scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

MCP 도구 description 규칙

MCP 서버에 등록하는 도구의 description과 스키마 파라미터 describe()는 모두 영어로 작성한다.

  • registerTool(..., { description: '...' }) 의 description 문자열 → 영어
  • zod 스키마의 .describe('...') (사용자에게 노출되는 파라미터 설명) → 영어

코드 주석(JSDoc, 인라인)은 프로젝트 코딩 스타일대로 한글 가능. 사용자/클라이언트에 노출되는 도구 설명만 영어.

길이 권장 (초기 컨텍스트/토큰 절감)

  • 도구 description: 1문장, 80~100자 권장. 워크플로·상세는 문서로 분리.
  • 파라미터 .describe(): 한 줄 한 문구. 상세 문법·옵션은 "See docs/..." 로 대체.
  • 너무 짧으면 AI가 사용 시점을 놓치고, 너무 길면 tools/list 토큰이 커짐. 핵심만 노출.
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
