Implementation Reference

  • The asynchronous handler function that generates a summary of the input text using the Google Gemini model via the 'ai' SDK. It constructs a prompt, calls generateText, and returns the result in MCP format, with error handling.
    async ({ text, maxLength, language }) => {
        try {
            const prompt = `Please summarize the following text in ${language}, keeping the summary within ${maxLength} characters:\n\n${text}`;
    
            const model = google.chat("gemini-1.5-pro");
            const result = await generateText({
                model: model,
                prompt: prompt,
                maxTokens: maxLength,
                temperature: 0.5
            });
    
            return {
                content: [{
                    type: "text",
                    text: result.text
                }]
            };
        } catch (error) {
            console.error('Summarization error:', error);
            throw new Error('Failed to generate summary');
        }
    }
  • Zod schema for the 'summarize' tool inputs: 'text' (required string, min length 1), 'maxLength' (optional number, default 200), 'language' (optional string, default 'en').
    {
        text: z.string().min(1),
        maxLength: z.number().optional().default(200),
        language: z.string().optional().default("en")
    },
  • src/index.ts:17-46 (registration)
    The server.tool() call that registers the 'summarize' tool, specifying its input schema and handler function.
    server.tool("summarize",
        {
            text: z.string().min(1),
            maxLength: z.number().optional().default(200),
            language: z.string().optional().default("en")
        },
        async ({ text, maxLength, language }) => {
            try {
                const prompt = `Please summarize the following text in ${language}, keeping the summary within ${maxLength} characters:\n\n${text}`;
    
                const model = google.chat("gemini-1.5-pro");
                const result = await generateText({
                    model: model,
                    prompt: prompt,
                    maxTokens: maxLength,
                    temperature: 0.5
                });
    
                return {
                    content: [{
                        type: "text",
                        text: result.text
                    }]
                };
            } catch (error) {
                console.error('Summarization error:', error);
                throw new Error('Failed to generate summary');
            }
        }
    );
Behavior1/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Tool has no description.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness1/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Tool has no description.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness1/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Tool has no description.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters1/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Tool has no description.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose1/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Tool has no description.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines1/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Tool has no description.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
