mcp-tool-design skillA

mcp-tool-design is agent-read markdown (skill) from sigistry/marketplace: This skill should be used when the user mentions "MCP tool", "tool design", "tool schema", "inputSchema", "tool annotations", "readOnlyHint", "destructiveHint", "tool description", "resources vs tools", "MCP prompts", or designing the tools/resources/prompts an MCP server exposes to an agent. It provides the design rules for few, powerful, well-schematized tools with accurate annotations and safe errors..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

How to install

Latest version
mdr add sigistry/marketplace/mcp-tool-design@git:20260826.571bc2f
Exact content
mdr add sigistry/marketplace/mcp-tool-design@sha256:9c5f44e50d6d6cb7

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
