tool-defs-analysis

tool-defs-analysis is a skill for Claude Code from cyanheads/medical-codes-mcp-server. It costs 177 tokens per session (4,599 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of tool-defs-analysis, Apache-2.0.

A read-only review workflow for the words used in an MCP server’s tools, resources, prompts, and instructions. It checks whether an AI assistant can understand when to use each definition, fill in its fields, and recover from errors.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit definition files across 16 language categories, including voice, audience, defaults, field explanations, recovery guidance, and leaks of internal details.
Why use it?
It finds unclear descriptions, stale defaults, internal implementation details, and other wording that can cause an assistant to choose or use a definition incorrectly.

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

tool-defs-analysis 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 today.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 280 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Context

Every string in a tool/resource/prompt definition is part of an LLM-facing API contract. The model reads the description, every parameter .describe(), the output schema, the recovery hints — and decides what to call and how. Definition language drifts: an internal mapping leaks into a parameter doc during a fix, a self-referential output description survives a refactor, a default that suited the developer at scaffold time stays after the typical call shape changes.

This skill is the review-time pass for that drift. Read each definition the way a mid-tier model with no project context would — can it pick the tool, fill the fields, and recover from errors using only the rendered schema?

Skill Lens
design-mcp-server Authoring rules at write-time
field-test Behavior testing + a narrow 3-category leak audit
security-pass Injection, scopes, input sinks
tool-defs-analysis (this) LLM-facing language across the existing surface

field-test already audits descriptions for implementation leaks, meta-coaching, and consumer-aware phrasing during its catalog step — that's a fast shallow pass alongside live tool calls. This skill is the deeper review: 16 categories, every field, every recovery hint, every default value, with file:line citations — plus a cross-surface pass for the drift no single file shows.

Read-only. This skill produces a report; the maintainer applies fixes. While running it, do not run git, do not stage or commit, do not update the changelog, do not run devcheck, do not invoke wrapup or release workflows. Fixes flow through the normal authoring path (edit the definition, then re-run this skill if you want to verify).

When to Use

  • After a polish session or refactor that touched definitions
  • Before a release, alongside polish-docs-meta and security-pass
  • When the user says "review my tool definitions", "audit descriptions", "are my tool descriptions any good"
  • After scaffolding a new server but before it ships
