Implementation Reference

  • The handler that executes the list_workspaces tool logic. It sends a GraphQL query to fetch workspaces (id, public, enableAi, createdAt) and returns the result.
    const listWorkspacesHandler = async () => {
      try {
        const query = `query { workspaces { id public enableAi createdAt } }`;
        const data = await gql.request<{ workspaces: any[] }>(query);
        return text(data.workspaces || []);
      } catch (error: any) {
        return text({ error: error.message });
      }
    };
  • Registration of the list_workspaces tool via server.registerTool with title and description (no input schema since it takes no arguments).
    server.registerTool(
      "list_workspaces",
      {
        title: "List Workspaces",
        description: "List all available AFFiNE workspaces"
      },
      listWorkspacesHandler as any
    );
  • src/index.ts:179-179 (registration)
    The call in the server initialization that registers all workspace tools, including list_workspaces.
    registerWorkspaceTools(server, gql);
  • Helper utility 'text()' imported from '../util/mcp.js' that formats the response content for MCP, used by listWorkspacesHandler to return results.
    function cloneJsonValue<T>(data: T): T {
      if (data === undefined) {
        return data;
      }
      return JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(data)) as T;
    }
    
    export function text(data: unknown) {
      if (typeof data === "string") {
        return { content: [{ type: "text" as const, text: data }] };
      }
    
      if (data !== null && typeof data === "object" && !Array.isArray(data)) {
        const structuredContent = cloneJsonValue(data);
        return {
          content: [{ type: "text" as const, text: JSON.stringify(structuredContent) }],
          structuredContent,
        };
      }
    
      return {
        content: [{ type: "text" as const, text: JSON.stringify(data) }],
      };
    }
    
    export function receipt(kind: string, data: Record<string, unknown>) {
      return text({
        kind,
        ok: true,
        ...data,
      });
    }
  • Tool surface configuration in toolSurface.ts defining list_workspaces in the ALL_TOOLS list, its group permissions (workspaces, workspaces.read, read), and its inclusion in both READ_ONLY_TOOLS and CORE_TOOLS sets.

Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It implies a read-only operation but does not explicitly state that it is safe or has no side effects, leaving some ambiguity.

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, clear sentence that conveys the purpose without extra words. It is front-loaded and efficient.

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 no output schema, the description does not explain return values or format. For a simple list tool this may be acceptable, but with sibling list_workspace_tree, additional context about hierarchy or difference would improve completeness.

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 no parameters and is fully documented. According to guidelines, 0 parameters sets a baseline of 4, and the description does not need to add parameter info.

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 action (list) and resource (workspaces) with qualification (all available). It distinguishes from sibling tools like get_workspace (singular) and list_workspace_tree (tree structure).

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?

No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives like list_workspace_tree. The description is minimal and does not provide context about scenarios or exclusions.

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