Implementation Reference

  • Schema definition for the 'file-convert' tool: defines name, description, and input schema (file_url, source_format, target_format).
      name: "file-convert",
      description: "Convert a file between 200+ formats (PDF, DOCX, XLSX, images, etc.). Cost: 2 credits.",
      inputSchema: {
        file_url: z.string().describe("URL to source file"),
        source_format: z.string().describe("Source format (e.g. docx, xlsx, html)"),
        target_format: z.string().optional().default("pdf").describe("Target format"),
      },
    },
  • src/index.ts:247-259 (registration)
    Generic registration loop that registers each capability (including 'file-convert') as an MCP tool via server.registerTool().
    for (const cap of CAPABILITIES) {
      // Cast inputSchema to avoid TS2589 (excessively deep type instantiation from Zod chains)
      server.registerTool(
        cap.name,
        {
          description: cap.description,
          inputSchema: cap.inputSchema as any,
        },
        async (args: any): Promise<CallToolResult> => {
          return callSuprsonic(cap.name, args as Record<string, unknown>);
        },
      );
    }
  • Generic handler function (callSuprsonic) that executes all tool logic by forwarding the capability name and params to the Suprsonic REST API at POST /v1/agent.
    async function callSuprsonic(capability: string, params: Record<string, unknown>): Promise<CallToolResult> {
      if (!API_KEY) {
        return {
          content: [{ type: "text", text: "Error: SUPRSONIC_API_KEY environment variable is not set. Get your key at https://suprsonic.ai/app/apis" }],
          isError: true,
        };
      }
    
      try {
        const resp = await fetch(`${BASE_URL}/v1/agent`, {
          method: "POST",
          headers: {
            "Authorization": `Bearer ${API_KEY}`,
            "Content-Type": "application/json",
          },
          body: JSON.stringify({ capability, params }),
        });
    
        const result = await resp.json() as any;
    
        // Handle non-envelope responses (401, 429, etc. return {"detail": ...})
        if (result.detail && result.success === undefined) {
          const msg = typeof result.detail === "object" ? (result.detail.title || result.detail.detail || JSON.stringify(result.detail)) : String(result.detail);
          return {
            content: [{ type: "text", text: `Error (HTTP ${resp.status}): ${msg}` }],
            isError: true,
          };
        }
    
        if (!result.success) {
          const errMsg = result.error?.detail || result.error?.title || "Request failed";
          return {
            content: [{ type: "text", text: `Error: ${errMsg}` }],
            isError: true,
          };
        }
    
        const text = JSON.stringify(result.data, null, 2);
        const meta = result.metadata
          ? `\n\n[Provider: ${(result.metadata as any).provider_used || "unknown"}, ${(result.metadata as any).response_time_ms || 0}ms, ${result.credits_used || 0} credits]`
          : "";
    
        return {
          content: [{ type: "text", text: text + meta }],
        };
      } catch (err) {
        return {
          content: [{ type: "text", text: `Network error: ${err instanceof Error ? err.message : String(err)}` }],
          isError: true,
        };
      }
    }
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations present. Description does not disclose behavioral traits such as file size limits, processing time, synchronous/asynchronous behavior, or error handling.

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?

Two sentences: first states purpose and scope, second notes cost. No fluff.

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?

No output schema, and description does not explain return value format (e.g., download URL vs. binary). Missing key context for an agent to use 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 covers 100% of parameters with descriptions, so baseline 3. Description adds 'Cost: 2 credits' but no additional semantic meaning beyond schema.

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?

Description clearly states it converts files between 200+ formats with specific examples (PDF, DOCX, XLSX, images), distinguishing it from siblings like bg-remove or documents.

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. siblings like documents or images. Only mentions cost, no when-not-to or alternatives.

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