UnverifiedWhen using a large model as the sole central scheduler to coordinate multiple MCP tools, if the number of tool calls is too large, the model is prone to scheduling confusion, resulting in poor stability and weak scalability.76% similarUnverifiedIn MCP, the more tools there are, the higher the probability that the model picks the wrong tool.74% similarUnverifiedEvery tool call in MCP must go through serialization, inter-process communication, and deserialization, which causes perceptible latency in scenarios with few tools but high call frequency.70% similarUnverifiedMCP在工具数量增长到数十甚至数百个时，每次对话都需要将所有工具的Schema描述注入上下文，会造成显著的性能瓶颈70% similarUnverifiedAnomalies in MCP servers such as repeated calls, invalid retries, timeout retransmissions, or erroneous context injection consume extra tokens and slow Agent responses.69% similar
