Implementation Reference

  • The core handler function for the 'get_version' tool. It builds a Things URL scheme with the 'version' command and empty parameters, executes it by opening the URL, and returns a confirmation message to the client.
    async handleGetVersion() {
      const url = buildThingsUrl('version', {});
      await this.openThingsUrl(url);
    
      return {
        content: [
          {
            type: 'text',
            text: '✅ 版本信息命令已发送。请查看Things应用获取版本信息。',
          },
        ],
      };
    }
  • src/index.js:352-359 (registration)
    Registration of the 'get_version' tool in the ListTools response array, including its name, description, and input schema definition.
    {
      name: 'get_version',
      description: '获取Things应用和URL Scheme的版本信息。',
      inputSchema: {
        type: 'object',
        properties: {},
      },
    },
  • Input schema for the 'get_version' tool, defining an empty object (no parameters required).
    inputSchema: {
      type: 'object',
      properties: {},
    },
  • Dispatch logic in the CallToolRequest handler's switch statement that routes calls to the 'get_version' tool to its handler method.
    case 'get_version':
      return await this.handleGetVersion();
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 version info but doesn't describe traits like whether it's read-only (implied by 'get'), requires authentication, has rate limits, returns structured data, or handles errors. For a tool with zero annotation coverage, this leaves significant gaps in understanding its behavior.

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 in Chinese that directly states the tool's purpose without any fluff or unnecessary details. It's appropriately sized and front-loaded, with every word contributing to clarity, making it highly concise and well-structured.

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 low complexity (0 parameters, no output schema, no annotations), the description is minimally adequate. It explains what the tool does but lacks details on behavioral traits, output format, or usage context. With no output schema, it should ideally hint at return values, but for a simple version check, it's just sufficient to avoid being incomplete.

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% (as there are no parameters to describe). The description doesn't need to add parameter semantics, so it meets the baseline of 4 for tools with no parameters, as it doesn't introduce confusion or redundancy.

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: '获取Things应用和URL Scheme的版本信息' translates to 'Get version information for the Things application and URL Scheme.' It specifies the verb ('get') and resource ('version information'), and distinguishes it from siblings by focusing on version retrieval rather than project/todo management or search operations. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from hypothetical sibling tools like 'get_status' or 'get_config,' keeping it at a 4 rather than a 5.

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 prerequisites (e.g., needing app access), exclusions (e.g., not for operational data), or direct comparisons to siblings like 'show' (which might display other info). Usage is implied only by the purpose, with no explicit context for selection.

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