Implementation Reference

  • Generic handler function for all API tools including 'get-currencies'. Dispatches to universalApiHandler with the configured endpoint '/currencies', method 'GET', and parameters.
    server.tool(config.name, config.description, config.parameters, async (params: Record<string, any>) => {
        // Handle local operations
        if (config.isLocal) {
            // Handle specific local tools
            if (config.name === 'save-share-token') {

  • Schema and configuration for the 'get-currencies' tool, defining empty input parameters and the API endpoint.
    {
        name: 'get-currencies',
        description: 'Get a list of fiat currencies supported by CoinStats.',
        endpoint: '/currencies',
        method: 'GET',
        parameters: {},
    },
  • Registration function that iterates over allToolConfigs (including get-currencies) and calls server.tool to register each tool with the MCP server.
    export function registerTools(server: McpServer, toolConfigs: ToolConfig<any>[]) {
        toolConfigs.forEach((config) => {
            server.tool(config.name, config.description, config.parameters, async (params: Record<string, any>) => {

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 mentions what the tool does but does not disclose behavioral traits such as whether it requires authentication, has rate limits, returns paginated results, or includes metadata like currency codes or names. This leaves significant gaps for a tool with no structured safety hints.

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 front-loads the core purpose without any wasted words. It is appropriately sized for a simple tool with no parameters, making it easy to parse quickly.

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 simplicity (0 parameters, no output schema) and lack of annotations, the description is minimally adequate but incomplete. It states the purpose but does not cover behavioral aspects like response format or operational constraints, which are needed for full contextual understanding in the absence of structured data.

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 no parameter documentation is needed. The description does not add parameter details, which is appropriate, but it could have mentioned if any implicit parameters (like filters) are absent, earning a baseline score just below perfect.

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 clearly states the specific action ('Get a list') and resource ('fiat currencies supported by CoinStats'), distinguishing it from siblings like 'get-coins' (cryptocurrencies) or 'get-exchanges' (trading platforms). It precisely defines the scope without ambiguity.

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 usage when fiat currency data is needed, but it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'get-fiat-currencies' (a sibling with a similar name) or provide exclusions. The context is clear but lacks comparative guidance.

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