Implementation Reference

  • The handler function for the get_tailwind_config_guide tool, which validates arguments and calls the documentationScraper service.
    private async handleGetTailwindConfigGuide(args: any): Promise<any> {
      try {
        const params = this.validateConfigGuideParams(args);
        const guide = await this.documentationScraper.getConfigGuide(params);
        return this.createSuccessResponse(guide);
      } catch (error) {
        this.handleServiceError(error, "Failed to get TailwindCSS config guide");
      }
    }
  • src/index.ts:136-150 (registration)

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 but provides minimal information. It doesn't indicate whether this is a read-only operation, whether it requires authentication, what format the guides are returned in, or any rate limits. For a tool with zero annotation coverage, this leaves significant behavioral questions unanswered.

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 clearly communicates the tool's purpose without any wasted words. It's appropriately sized for a simple tool and gets straight to the point without unnecessary elaboration.

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 that there are no annotations, no output schema, and the description provides minimal behavioral context, this description is incomplete for effective tool usage. While the purpose is clear, the lack of guidance on when to use it, what to expect in return, and how it differs from sibling tools leaves significant gaps for an AI agent trying to select and invoke this tool correctly.

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 schema description coverage is 100%, with both parameters ('topic' and 'framework') having clear descriptions in the schema. The tool description adds no additional parameter information beyond what's already documented in the schema. According to the scoring rules, when schema coverage is high (>80%), the baseline is 3 even with no param info in the description.

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 as 'Get TailwindCSS configuration guides for different frameworks' - it specifies the verb ('Get'), resource ('TailwindCSS configuration guides'), and scope ('for different frameworks'). However, it doesn't explicitly distinguish this from sibling tools like 'search_tailwind_docs' or 'install_tailwind', which prevents 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. There's no mention of when this tool is appropriate versus using 'search_tailwind_docs' or 'install_tailwind', nor any prerequisites or context for usage. The description merely restates the tool's function without operational guidance.

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