Implementation Reference

  • The main handler function for the 'getLatestShotId' tool. It is decorated with @mcp.tool() for registration and fetches the latest shot ID from the espresso machine's API endpoint using the make_gg_request helper.
    @mcp.tool()
    async def getLatestShotId() -> str:
        """Get latest espresso shot id.
        """
        url = f"{API_BASE}/api/shots/latest"
        data = await make_gg_request(url)
    
        if not data:
            return "Unable to fetch shot or no shot found."
    
        id = data[0]
        return id
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states what the tool does but doesn't add context on traits like whether it's read-only, requires authentication, has rate limits, or what the return format might be. This leaves significant gaps for an agent to understand how to invoke it correctly.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is a single, clear sentence with zero waste, front-loading the essential information. It's appropriately sized for a simple tool with no parameters, making it highly efficient and easy to parse.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Given the lack of annotations and output schema, the description is incomplete. It doesn't explain what the tool returns (e.g., the format of the shot ID or any error cases), which is crucial for an agent to use it effectively. For a tool with no structured output documentation, more context is needed.

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

Parameters4/5

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

The tool has 0 parameters, and schema description coverage is 100%, so there's no need for parameter details in the description. The baseline for this scenario is 4, as the description doesn't need to compensate for any parameter gaps, and it efficiently avoids unnecessary information.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description clearly states the verb ('Get') and resource ('latest espresso shot id'), making the purpose specific and understandable. However, it doesn't differentiate from sibling tools like 'getShotData' or 'getStatus', which might retrieve related information, so it doesn't reach the highest score.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'getShotData' or 'getStatus'. The description implies it's for retrieving the latest shot ID, but there's no explicit context, exclusions, or comparisons to help an agent choose appropriately.

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