Love this MCP server! Want to use it in real workflows
Hey @mashrur-rahman-fahim! This FleetMind MCP server is seriously impressive! 🤯 29 tools is incredible!
We're thinking of integrating it into our workflow, but had a couple questions as potential users:
Tool overload? - With 29 tools, do you find Claude/Cursor ever gets confused about which tool to use for simple tasks? Like if we just say "show me recent orders" - will it pick the right one from all the order-related tools?
Context window impact - We noticed each tool has pretty detailed descriptions. Does having 29 tools eat up a lot of the AI's context window that could be used for actual reasoning?
User experience - For end users, do you recommend focusing on just the main 5-6 tools, or should we train people on all 29?
Any tips for avoiding tool selection hallucinations with so many options?
Really excited about this project - the Gemini 2.0 Flash integration is genius! Would love to hear your experience using it day-to-day.
Great questions! Happy to share our experience:
Re: Tool Selection - We've actually found that Claude is
quite good at picking the right tool, even with 29
available. The detailed descriptions help a lot. For
"show me recent orders," it correctly chooses the
appropriate query tool. That said, the key is having
distinct, well-named tools. We avoid overlap (e.g., one
get_orders instead of multiple similar variants).
Context Window - Valid concern! Tool descriptions do take
up tokens, but we've optimized this:
- Keep descriptions concise but informative
- Use clear parameter names that are self-documenting
- The trade-off has been worth it—better tool
descriptions = fewer retry attempts
User Experience - We recommend a tiered approach:
- Core 5-6 tools for daily tasks (orders, customers,
products) - Power user tools (15-20) for specific workflows
- Admin/edge case tools for specialized needs
Most users never touch all 29, which is fine! They're
there when needed.
Avoiding Hallucinations - Best practices we follow:
- Clear, distinct tool names (no ambiguity)
- Explicit "when to use this" in descriptions
- Parameter validation to catch wrong tool usage early
- Group related tools logically in documentation
The Gemini 2.0 Flash integration has been a game-changer
for performance! Feel free to reach out if you want to
discuss integration strategies. Would love to hear about
your use case!
Thnx for the feedback, key insight is most user and application needs mainstream 5-6 tools!
