Implementation Reference

  • Registration of the 'get_available_badge_challenges' tool via server.registerTool() with description, and a handler that calls client.getAvailableBadgeChallenges().
    server.registerTool(
      'get_available_badge_challenges',
      {
        description: 'Get available badge challenges that can be joined',
      },
      async () => {
        const data = await client.getAvailableBadgeChallenges();
        return {
          content: [{ type: 'text' as const, text: JSON.stringify(data, null, 2) }],
        };
      },
    );
  • Handler implementation: getAvailableBadgeChallenges() method that makes an HTTP request to the AVAILABLE_BADGE_CHALLENGES_ENDPOINT.
    async getAvailableBadgeChallenges(): Promise<unknown> {
      return this.request(AVAILABLE_BADGE_CHALLENGES_ENDPOINT);
    }
  • Endpoint constant: AVAILABLE_BADGE_CHALLENGES_ENDPOINT pointing to '/badgechallenge-service/badgeChallenge/available'.
    export const AVAILABLE_BADGE_CHALLENGES_ENDPOINT = '/badgechallenge-service/badgeChallenge/available';
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. It does not disclose any behavioral traits such as authentication requirements, rate limits, or what 'can be joined' implies for the actual API call. The description is too vague.

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 sentence, concise and front-loaded. However, it misses critical information that could be added without sacrificing conciseness.

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 rich set of sibling tools and lack of annotations or output schema, the description is incomplete. It does not explain what 'available' means, how this differs from similar tools, or what the response contains.

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?

There are zero parameters, so schema description coverage is 100% by default. Per guidelines, baseline is 4. The description adds no parameter info, but none is needed.

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 the resource 'available badge challenges'. However, it does not differentiate this tool from siblings like 'get_available_badges' or 'get_badge_challenges', missing the chance to clarify what 'available' means in this context.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. With many sibling tools for badges and challenges, usage guidelines are crucial but absent.

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