----------------------------------------
Summary: camel-jbang-mcp: drop verbose description from catalog
list responses and lower default limit
Key: CAMEL-23473
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-23473
Project: Camel
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: camel-jbang
Affects Versions: 4.21.0
Reporter: Andrea Cosentino
h3. Context
Part of an effort to reduce token consumption of the {{camel-jbang-mcp}} MCP
server. The module exposes 31 tools, 6 resources, and 3 prompts; both tool
schemas (loaded once per session) and tool results (per call) contribute to LLM
context-window pressure for every user of the server.
Related tickets in this effort are linked via "Relates to".
{{camel_catalog_components}} (and the equivalent dataformats/languages/EIPs
tools) return up to 50 records, each carrying the full multi-sentence
{{description}} field. The LLM almost never needs the description in a list —
it needs {{name}} + {{title}} to decide what to drill into, then {{*_doc}}
carries the full description.
h3. Affected records in {{CatalogTools.java}}
* {{ComponentInfo}} (line 539) — has {{description}}
* {{DataFormatInfo}} (line 556) — has {{description}}
* {{LanguageInfo}} (line 562) — has {{description}}
* {{EipInfo}} (line 568) — has {{description}}
Default {{limit = 50}} at {{CatalogTools.java:65}}.
h3. Proposed change
* Remove {{description}} from list result records, OR gate it behind a
{{verbose: boolean}} arg defaulting to {{false}}.
* Lower default {{limit}} from 50 to 20 across list tools.
h3. Acceptance
A typical "find me a kafka-ish component" call returns 5–10× fewer tokens.
