Implementation Reference

  • Defines the schema (Zod parameters), endpoint, method, and description for the 'get-wallet-balance' tool.
    {
        name: 'get-wallet-balance',
        description: 'Get the balance data for a provided wallet address on a specific blockchain network.',
        endpoint: '/wallet/balance',
        method: 'GET',
        parameters: {
            address: z.string().describe('Wallet address'),
            connectionId: z.string().describe('The identifier of connection, which you received from /wallet/blockchains call response.'),
        },
    },
  • Registers the 'get-wallet-balance' tool (and others) on the MCP server by calling server.tool with the config's name, description, parameters schema, and a generic handler that calls universalApiHandler.
    export function registerTools(server: McpServer, toolConfigs: ToolConfig<any>[]) {
        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 {

                        ],
                    };
                }

                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 {

        });
    }
  • Core handler function that executes the API request: substitutes path parameters, builds URL with query params, performs fetch to CoinStats API using makeRequestCsApi, and returns MCP-formatted response (JSON string or error). Called by the tool handler for get-wallet-balance.
    export async function universalApiHandler<T>(
        basePath: string,
        endpoint: string,
        method: string = 'GET',
        params: Record<string, any> = {},
        body?: any
    ): Promise<{
        content: Array<{ type: 'text'; text: string; isError?: boolean }>;

            let processedEndpoint = endpoint;
            let processedParams = { ...params };
    
            // Find all path parameters in the endpoint (e.g., {coinId}, {id}, {type})
            const pathParamMatches = endpoint.match(/\{([^}]+)\}/g);
    
            if (pathParamMatches) {

                        processedEndpoint = processedEndpoint.replace(match, processedParams[paramName]);
                        // Remove the parameter from query params since it's now part of the path
                        delete processedParams[paramName];
                    } else {

  • src/index.ts:17-18 (registration)
    Calls registerTools with allToolConfigs to register the 'get-wallet-balance' tool on the MCP server instance.
    // Register all tools from configurations
    registerTools(server, allToolConfigs);
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 tool retrieves balance data but doesn't describe what the return format looks like, whether it includes token details or just totals, or any rate limits or error conditions. This leaves significant gaps in understanding how the tool behaves.

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 unnecessary words. Every part of the sentence contributes directly to understanding the tool's function, making it appropriately concise and well-structured.

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 no annotations and no output schema, the description is incomplete for a tool that likely returns complex balance data. It doesn't explain what 'balance data' includes (e.g., tokens, values, timestamps) or handle potential complexities like multi-chain addresses, leaving the agent with insufficient context to use the tool effectively.

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?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents both parameters ('address' and 'connectionId') adequately. The description adds no additional meaning beyond what's in the schema, such as format examples or constraints, meeting the baseline for high schema 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 verb ('Get') and resource ('balance data for a provided wallet address on a specific blockchain network'), making the purpose understandable. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'get-wallet-balances' (plural) or 'get-exchange-balance', leaving some ambiguity about when to use this specific tool versus alternatives.

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 like 'get-wallet-balances' or 'get-exchange-balance'. It mentions the need for a 'connectionId' from another call, which is a prerequisite, but doesn't offer explicit usage context or exclusions.

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