Implementation Reference

  • The core handler function that implements the manage_compliance_monitoring tool. It processes input arguments, dispatches to appropriate helper functions based on action (get_status, get_alerts, get_trends, configure_monitoring), and returns formatted results.
    export async function handleComplianceMonitoring(
      graphClient: Client,
      args: ComplianceMonitoringArgs
    ): Promise<{ content: { type: string; text: string }[] }> {
      let result: any;
    
      switch (args.action) {
        case 'get_status':
          // Get overall compliance status
          result = await getComplianceStatus(graphClient, args.framework, args.filters);
          break;
    
        case 'get_alerts':
          // Get compliance alerts
          result = await getComplianceAlerts(graphClient, args.framework, args.filters);
          break;
    
        case 'get_trends':
          // Get compliance trends
          result = await getComplianceTrends(graphClient, args.framework, args.filters);
          break;
    
        case 'configure_monitoring':
          // Configure monitoring settings
          result = {
            framework: args.framework,
            monitoringSettings: args.monitoringSettings,
            status: 'configured',
            message: 'Monitoring configured successfully'
          };
          break;
    
        default:
          throw new McpError(ErrorCode.InvalidParams, `Invalid action: ${args.action}`);
      }
    
      return { content: [{ type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(result, null, 2) }] };
    }
  • TypeScript interface defining the input schema for the manage_compliance_monitoring tool, including action types and optional parameters.
    export interface ComplianceMonitoringArgs {
      action: 'get_status' | 'get_alerts' | 'get_trends' | 'configure_monitoring';
      framework?: 'hitrust' | 'iso27001' | 'soc2';
      filters?: Record<string, unknown>;
      monitoringSettings?: Record<string, unknown>;
    }
  • Tool metadata providing description, title, and behavioral annotations (read-only, non-destructive, idempotent) for the manage_compliance_monitoring tool.
    manage_compliance_monitoring: {
      description: "Monitor ongoing compliance status with real-time alerts for policy violations and regulatory changes.",
      title: "Compliance Monitor",
      annotations: { title: "Compliance Monitor", readOnlyHint: true, destructiveHint: false, idempotentHint: true, openWorldHint: true }
  • src/handlers.ts:47-60 (registration)
    Import statement registering the handleComplianceMonitoring handler function for use in the MCP tool server.
    import {
      handleComplianceFrameworks,
      handleComplianceAssessments,
      handleComplianceMonitoring,
      handleEvidenceCollection,
      handleGapAnalysis
    } from './handlers/compliance-handler.js';
    import {
      ComplianceFrameworkArgs,
      ComplianceAssessmentArgs,
      ComplianceMonitoringArgs,
      EvidenceCollectionArgs,
      GapAnalysisArgs
    } from './types/compliance-types.js';
  • Helper function called by the handler to retrieve current compliance status data.
    async function getComplianceStatus(graphClient: Client, framework?: string, filters?: any) {
      // Get current compliance status
      return {
        framework,
        overallScore: 85,
        riskLevel: 'medium',
        lastAssessmentDate: new Date().toISOString(),
        nextAssessmentDate: new Date(Date.now() + 30 * 24 * 3600000).toISOString(), // 30 days
        activeAlerts: [],
        trends: []
      };
    }
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so the agent knows this is a safe, repeatable read operation. The description adds some behavioral context by mentioning 'real-time alerts' and 'policy violations,' which suggests this tool might provide streaming or notification capabilities. However, it doesn't elaborate on rate limits, authentication needs, or what 'monitoring' entails beyond what annotations cover.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single, efficient sentence that gets straight to the point. It's appropriately sized for what it communicates, though it could be more specific. There's no wasted language or unnecessary elaboration, 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 complexity (4 parameters including nested objects, multiple action types) and the absence of an output schema, the description is minimally adequate. Annotations provide safety information, but the description doesn't explain what the tool returns or how different actions behave. For a tool with 'configure_monitoring' as an action option (despite readOnlyHint=true), more behavioral context would be helpful.

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 all four parameters with descriptions and enums. The description doesn't add any meaningful parameter semantics beyond what's in the schema - it doesn't explain how 'action' choices affect behavior, what 'filters' or 'monitoringSettings' should contain, or how 'framework' selection influences monitoring. Baseline 3 is appropriate when the schema does the heavy lifting.

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 tool's purpose: 'Monitor ongoing compliance status with real-time alerts for policy violations and regulatory changes.' It specifies the verb ('monitor') and resource ('compliance status') with additional context about alerts. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'manage_compliance_assessments' or 'manage_cis_compliance', which likely handle different aspects of compliance.

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. It doesn't mention any prerequisites, exclusions, or specific scenarios for use. With many sibling tools related to compliance and management, this lack of differentiation leaves the agent guessing about appropriate contexts.

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