List the caller's Stay Applications (draft and submitted), each with a nextAction hint telling you what's needed next (provide_applicant_details, provide_property_details, pay_application_fee, submit, awaiting_review, or accepted). Call this to find an in-progress application's applicationId before resuming it. Requires NOMADSTAYS_MCP_AGENT_TOKEN.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=true, so the read-only nature is declared. The description adds value by revealing the nextAction hint behavior and the token requirement, giving extra context about what the tool returns and what's needed to call it.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, front-loaded with the core action, and no unnecessary words. Each sentence adds useful information: what the tool lists, the nextAction hint, the use case, and the required token.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a parameterless list tool with a read-only annotation, the description covers the essential aspects: scope (caller's applications), states (draft/submitted), the nextAction hint, the practical purpose, and authentication. No output schema exists, but the description mentions the key output fields (applicationId, nextAction).
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
There are zero parameters and the schema is empty, so the baseline is 4. The description explains the response characteristics (nextAction values) which is relevant despite no parameters, and it doesn't need to compensate for schema gaps.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states a specific action and resource: 'List the caller's Stay Applications'. It distinguishes from sibling list tools by specifying 'Stay' and mentioning draft/submitted states and the nextAction hint, which is unique to this tool.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Provides a clear use case: 'Call this to find an in-progress application's applicationId before resuming it.' This tells when to use it, though it doesn't explicitly mention alternatives or exclusions. The context is strong enough for an agent to decide correctly.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Add one secure layer between your agents and this server.
Most tools have clearly distinct purposes, with detailed descriptions differentiating the many getStaysBy* search variants and the four availability tools. However, the overlap between checkStayAvailability, getRoomAvailability, findNearestAvailability, and getAvailabilityByMonth could still cause confusion for an agent, though the descriptions largely mitigate this.
The tools mostly follow a verb-noun pattern with get*, update*, create*, and delete* dominating, but the mix of additional verbs (check, find, list, search, signup, book, quote, purchase, submit, save, reorder, upload) and inconsistent noun forms (Stay vs. Stays, MyStay vs. Stay) prevents a fully predictable naming scheme. CamelCase is consistent, but the verb variety is high.
With 76 tools, this server far exceeds the well-scoped range and even the 50+ threshold for extreme mismatch. While the platform covers multiple domains, this many tools is overwhelming for an agent and would likely be better split into focused sub-servers.
The tool surface is broad, covering search, stay management, applications, bookings, products, and help center. However, there are notable lifecycle gaps: no cancel booking, no delete stay, no delete application, and no way to update or delete a booking. These missing operations create potential dead ends for common workflows.
