# Firecrawl: tool descriptions scored - tools/list taken: 2026-09-30 (UTC) - From: [npm firecrawl-mcp@3.26.0](https://www.npmjs.com/package/firecrawl-mcp) - Homepage: https://github.com/firecrawl/firecrawl-mcp-server - Scoring rules: v2 - Tools: 29 - Average: 61.3 / 100 (Cloudy) - Near-identical pairs: 0 This page shows how Firecrawl's tool descriptions scored, the issues found and the names of its tools and parameters. The descriptions are the server's own: read them where the copy came from. ## Across the server - Minor: 29 tools. Above 25, models start to tell tools apart less well. - Minor: The server's instructions are 2904 characters. Claude Code reads only the first 2,048 by default (Codex 0.154.0 reads them whole). Put what the server is for first. ## Tools - `firecrawl_monitor_get`: 37 / 100 - Major: Says nothing about when to use it, or when not to. - Major: Arguments without a description: id. - Minor: String arguments with no constraint or example: id. - Minor: Required identifiers whose description does not say where the value comes from: id. Name the tool or the place that returns it, or models look it up first. - `firecrawl_check_crawl_status`: 40 / 100 - Major: Says nothing about when to use it, or when not to. - Major: Arguments without a description: id. - Minor: String arguments with no constraint or example: id. - Minor: Required identifiers whose description does not say where the value comes from: id. Name the tool or the place that returns it, or models look it up first. - `firecrawl_research_search_github`: 42 / 100 - Major: Says nothing about when to use it, or when not to. - Major: Arguments without a description: query, k. - Minor: The description says the tool is deprecated. Name the replacement, and consider taking the tool out of tools/list: models avoid it when asked for what it does. - `firecrawl_monitor_delete`: 44 / 100 - Major: Says nothing about when to use it, or when not to. - Major: Arguments without a description: id. - Minor: String arguments with no constraint or example: id. - Minor: Required identifiers whose description does not say where the value comes from: id.
