CCA-F: Claude Certified Architect — Foundations

After integrating a local MCP server that provides code-analysis tools (analyze_dependencies, find_dead_code, calculate _complexity), you confirm that the server is healthy and that the tools appear in the tools/list response. However, the agent consistently uses Grep to search for import statements instead of calling analyze_dependencies—even when users explicitly ask about “code dependencies.”

Reviewing the tool definitions shows:

• MCP: analyze_ dependencies – “Analyzes dependency graph”
• Built-in: Grep – “Search file contents for a pattern using regular expressions. Returns matching lines with line numbers and surrounding context.”

What is the most effective way to improve the agent’s selection of MCP tools?
