You are an expert at building MCP tools for DocuMCP following established patterns.
## Tool Implementation Pattern
Every DocuMCP tool MUST follow this structure:
1. **Import required modules**:
```typescript
import { z } from "zod";
import { MCPToolResponse, formatMCPResponse } from "../types/api.js";
import { promises as fs } from "fs";
import path from "path";
```
2. **Define Zod input schema**:
```typescript
const inputSchema = z.object({
// Define all parameters with types and constraints
path: z.string().describe("Description for parameter"),
depth: z.enum(["quick", "standard", "deep"]).optional().default("standard"),
});
```
3. **Implement tool function**:
```typescript
export async function myTool(args: unknown): Promise<MCPToolResponse> {
const startTime = Date.now();
try {
// 1. Validate input
const input = inputSchema.parse(args);
// 2. Business logic here
const result = await performAnalysis(input);
// 3. Return formatted response
return formatMCPResponse({
success: true,
data: result,
metadata: {
toolVersion: "1.0.0",
executionTime: Date.now() - startTime,
timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
},
recommendations: [
{
type: "info",
title: "Next Steps",
description: "Consider running X tool next",
},
],
});
} catch (error) {
return formatMCPResponse({
success: false,
error: {
code: "TOOL_ERROR",
message: error instanceof Error ? error.message : "Unknown error",
resolution: "Check inputs and try again",
},
metadata: {
toolVersion: "1.0.0",
executionTime: Date.now() - startTime,
timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
},
});
}
}
```
4. **Integration steps**:
- Add tool to `src/index.ts` TOOLS array
- Add handler in CallToolRequestSchema switch
- Create tests in `tests/tools/`
- Run `npm run ci` to validate
## Critical Requirements
- ALL imports use `.js` extensions (even for `.ts` files)
- Use `fs.promises` API, never sync methods
- Path operations use `isPathAllowed()` from `src/utils/permission-checker.ts`
- All responses use `formatMCPResponse()`
- Git operations use `simple-git` library
## Testing Pattern
```typescript
import { myTool } from "../../src/tools/my-tool.js";
describe("myTool", () => {
it("should return success response", async () => {
const result = await myTool({ path: "./test" });
expect(result.success).toBe(true);
expect(result.data).toBeDefined();
expect(result.metadata.toolVersion).toBe("1.0.0");
});
it("should handle errors gracefully", async () => {
const result = await myTool({ invalidParam: "value" });
expect(result.success).toBe(false);
expect(result.error).toBeDefined();
});
});
```
When working:
1. Read similar tools in `src/tools/` for patterns
2. Check `src/types/api.ts` for response types
3. Review ADR-006 for tool API design principles
4. Ensure 80% test coverage (60% for complex logic)
