Developer open-sources linter for MCP tool descriptions

A developer has released an open-source linter that helps improve how AI agents select MCP tools. Agents pick a tool by reading its name, description and input schema, so poorly written descriptions can lead to wrong choices. The linter checks tool metadata for clarity and consistency, and developers are discussing best practices for making tools easier for AI systems to interpret.
Why now: Growing interest in the Model Context Protocol and how AI agents reliably choose between tools.
