Implementation Reference

  • Tool configuration defining name, description, endpoint '/exchange/support', HTTP method 'GET', and empty parameters schema (no inputs required).
    {
        name: 'get-exchanges',
        description: 'Get a list of supported exchange portfolio connections by CoinStats.',
        endpoint: '/exchange/support',
        method: 'GET',
        parameters: {},
    },
  • Registers the tool handler dynamically from config. For get-exchanges (non-local, GET), invokes universalApiHandler with basePath + '/exchange/support', passing empty params.
    toolConfigs.forEach((config) => {
        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') {
                    await saveToCache('shareToken', params.shareToken);
                    return {
                        content: [
                            {
                                type: 'text',
                                text: 'Share token saved successfully',
                            },
                        ],
                    };
                }
    
                if (config.name === 'get-share-token') {
                    const shareToken = await getFromCache('shareToken');
    
                    return {
                        content: [
                            {
                                type: 'text',
                                text: shareToken ? shareToken : 'No share token found in cache',
                                isError: !shareToken,
                            },
                        ],
                    };
                }
                // Future local tools can be added here
    
                // Default response for unhandled local tools
                return {
                    content: [
                        {
                            type: 'text',
                            text: 'Operation completed',
                        },
                    ],
                };
            }
    
            // Handle API operations
            const basePath = config.basePath || COINSTATS_API_BASE;
            const method = config.method || 'GET';
    
            // Methods that typically have a request body
            const bodyMethods = ['POST', 'PUT', 'PATCH', 'DELETE'];
    
            // For GET/DELETE requests, all params go in the URL
            // For POST/PUT/PATCH, send params as the body
            if (bodyMethods.includes(method.toUpperCase())) {
                return universalApiHandler(basePath, config.endpoint, method, {}, params);
            } else {
                return universalApiHandler(basePath, config.endpoint, method, params);
            }
        });
  • src/index.ts:17-18 (registration)
    Calls registerTools to register all tools including get-exchanges with the MCP server.
    // Register all tools from configurations
    registerTools(server, allToolConfigs);
  • Core HTTP request handler used by all API tools. Processes endpoint (handles {params}), adds query params, calls makeRequestCsApi, returns MCP-formatted response.
    export async function universalApiHandler<T>(
        basePath: string,

                        // Remove the parameter from query params since it's now part of the path

    }
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 states the action but lacks details like whether this is a read-only operation, if it requires authentication, any rate limits, or what the output format might be (e.g., a list of exchange names or detailed objects). This leaves significant gaps for a tool that likely interacts with external services.

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 purpose without unnecessary words. It's front-loaded and wastes no space, making it easy for an agent to parse quickly.

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 complexity of interacting with exchanges (likely involving external APIs) and the absence of annotations and output schema, the description is insufficient. It doesn't explain what 'supported exchange portfolio connections' entails, the return format, or any prerequisites like authentication. This leaves the agent with too many unknowns for effective use.

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 input schema has 0 parameters with 100% coverage, so no parameter documentation is needed. The description doesn't add parameter details, which is appropriate here, but it also doesn't compensate for any gaps since there are none. A baseline of 4 is given as it adequately handles the lack of parameters without introducing confusion.

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 ('list of supported exchange portfolio connections'), making the purpose understandable. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate this tool from similar siblings like 'get-exchange-balance' or 'get-exchange-transactions', which would require mentioning what makes 'exchange portfolio connections' distinct.

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. For example, it doesn't clarify if this is for listing available exchanges before connecting one, or how it relates to tools like 'get-exchange-sync-status' or 'get-exchange-transactions'. Without such context, the agent must infer usage from the name alone.

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