Implementation Reference

  • The implementation of the `create_example_payload` tool, which uses `resolve_target` and `create_examples` to generate valid/invalid payloads for a specified model.
    @mcp.tool(tags={"examples", "pydantic"})
    def create_example_payload(
        target: str,
        count: int = 1,
        invalid_examples: bool = False,
    ) -> ToolResponse:
        """Generate example valid and invalid payloads for a target model or type."""
        runtime_target = resolve_target(
            target,
            registry=REGISTRY,
            settings=SERVER_SETTINGS,
        )
        examples = create_examples(runtime_target, count=count, invalid=invalid_examples)
        return make_response(
            resolved_target=runtime_target.resolved,
            result={"examples": [item.model_dump(mode="json") for item in examples]},
        )
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It mentions generating 'valid and invalid payloads' but doesn't specify how these are generated (e.g., random, based on schema), what formats they're in, or any limitations (e.g., rate limits, authentication needs). For a tool with no annotation coverage, this is a significant gap in transparency about its operation and constraints.

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, efficient sentence that directly states the tool's function without unnecessary words. It's front-loaded with the core action ('Generate example payloads') and specifies key details ('valid and invalid', 'for a target model or type'). Every part of the sentence contributes essential information, making it highly concise and well-structured.

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

Completeness3/5

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

Given the tool's moderate complexity (3 parameters, no annotations, but with an output schema), the description is somewhat complete but has gaps. The output schema likely covers return values, reducing the need for description there. However, without annotations, it lacks details on behavioral traits, and with low schema coverage, parameter semantics are under-explained. It's adequate as a high-level overview but insufficient for full operational understanding.

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

Parameters3/5

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

The description adds minimal meaning beyond the input schema. It implies 'target' refers to a 'model or type' and that payloads can be 'valid and invalid', but with 0% schema description coverage, it doesn't explain what 'target' expects (e.g., model name, type identifier), how 'count' affects output, or what 'invalid_examples' entails. The baseline is 3 due to the schema's properties being self-explanatory to some extent, but the description doesn't compensate for the low coverage.

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 tool's purpose: 'Generate example valid and invalid payloads for a target model or type.' It specifies the verb ('generate') and resource ('example payloads'), and distinguishes the type of payloads (valid and invalid). However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'validate_data' or 'generate_json_schema', which keeps it from a perfect 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?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. With siblings like 'validate_data', 'generate_json_schema', and 'list_models', there's no indication of scenarios where generating example payloads is preferred over other validation or schema-related tools. This lack of context leaves the agent to guess based on tool names alone.

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