| The distinction is merely a matter of how they are designed. Both types of tools can be used seamlessly in the same way. There is no difference in their interfaces, the way they are called, or how you interact with them through the Arcade [Dashboard](https://api.arcade.dev/dashboard/) or the Arcade [SDK clients](/references). | ||

how Arcade designs them
This was a vale suggestion, but I think we have some community contributions so this isn't quite true always? Except maybe it is because the Optimized ones are optimized by us?

This is a good discussion to have now. The community toolkits was an idea where we would show non-arcade toolkits in our docs, kind of like a marketplace. We are not doing that, and with MCP servers, I think we will not do it in the short term, so I'm not sure if it's valid to keep that category.
| Since they require careful design and evaluation, Optimized tools take time and effort to build. Arcade understands that your Agent or chatbot project might need capabilities not yet covered by Arcade's Optimized MCP Servers. For this reason, Arcade also offers low-level Unoptimized MCP Servers (formerly known as Starter MCP Servers). | ||

This was a weird suggestion from Cursor to not break existing links. It's clever I guess, but I'm not sure it's right.

Ummm, I don't get why there is an empty span here.

I don't think we want to back-edit the changelog...

The link is generated automatically by Nextra for markdown titles. I don't understand this span.

Some nits, but this is good to go.

Contains docs updates that align with the changes in the toolkit picker here and here.
This should ideally not be merged until approximately when those changes go live.
Note
Low Risk
Mostly terminology and link updates in docs/UI; main risk is broken anchors/URLs affecting documentation navigation and search/filter text matching.
Overview
Renames Arcade’s “Starter” tool/server concept to “Unoptimized” across the docs and site UI, including updated callouts, glossary entries, toolkit type labels/descriptions, and filter labels.
Updates the “Types of Tools” guide and related references (changelog entry and
llms.txt) to reflect the new terminology and adds a compatibility anchor (starter-tools) while pointing readers to the new#unoptimized-toolssection.Written by Cursor Bugbot for commit 76d1e08. This will update automatically on new commits. Configure here.
