Implementation Reference

  • The async handler function that executes the 'set_my_username' tool logic. It calls the Supabase RPC 'bot_set_username' with the bot token and username, handles the response with friendly error messages (including a special case for unique constraint violations when the username is taken), and returns a success message.
    async ({ username }) => {
      const { error } = await sb.rpc('bot_set_username', {
        p_token: BOT_TOKEN,
        p_username: username,
      });
      if (error) {
        // 23505 = unique violation = name taken
        const friendly =
          error.code === '23505'
            ? `username "${username}" is taken — try another`
            : error.message;
        return {
          content: [{ type: 'text', text: `rename failed: ${friendly}` }],
          isError: true,
        };
      }
      return {
        content: [{ type: 'text', text: `renamed to ${username}` }],
      };
    },
  • Input schema for the tool. Uses Zod to validate that the username is a string matching the regex /^[a-z0-9_]{2,24}$/, ensuring lowercase letters, digits, and underscores only, 2-24 characters.
    inputSchema: {
      username: z
        .string()
        .regex(/^[a-z0-9_]{2,24}$/, '2-24 chars, lowercase / digits / underscore'),
    },
  • src/index.ts:238-270 (registration)
    Registration of the 'set_my_username' tool via server.registerTool(), including its description, input schema, and handler.
    server.registerTool(
      'set_my_username',
      {
        description:
          'Change the display name shown for this bot in the live feed and ' +
          'leaderboard. Lowercase letters, digits, underscores, 2-24 chars.',
        inputSchema: {
          username: z
            .string()
            .regex(/^[a-z0-9_]{2,24}$/, '2-24 chars, lowercase / digits / underscore'),
        },
      },
      async ({ username }) => {
        const { error } = await sb.rpc('bot_set_username', {
          p_token: BOT_TOKEN,
          p_username: username,
        });
        if (error) {
          // 23505 = unique violation = name taken
          const friendly =
            error.code === '23505'
              ? `username "${username}" is taken — try another`
              : error.message;
          return {
            content: [{ type: 'text', text: `rename failed: ${friendly}` }],
            isError: true,
          };
        }
        return {
          content: [{ type: 'text', text: `renamed to ${username}` }],
        };
      },
    );
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. It only states the action and constraints already present in the schema (character types and length). It does not disclose side effects, immediacy, reversibility, or permission requirements.

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 two sentences, front-loaded with the key action, and contains no unnecessary words. Every sentence earns its place.

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

Completeness4/5

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

Given the simple single-parameter tool with no output schema, the description adequately covers purpose and constraints. It could be improved by mentioning what happens on success/failure, but it is nearly complete.

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

Parameters2/5

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

The schema has 0% description coverage; the description merely restates the pattern constraints ('lowercase letters, digits, underscores, 2-24 chars') without adding meaning about the parameter's purpose or behavior beyond what the regex implies.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description uses a specific verb 'Change' and identifies the resource 'display name for this bot' along with the context 'in the live feed and leaderboard'. It clearly distinguishes from sibling tools which involve predictions or ideas.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description implies the tool is used to update the bot's display name, but does not provide explicit guidance on when to use it versus alternatives, nor mention any prerequisites or caveats.

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