Implementation Reference

  • Registration of the 'interview_info' tool definition.
    types.Tool(
        name="interview_info",
        description="Get details of a single interview by ID.",
        inputSchema={
            "type": "object",
            "properties": {
                "id": {"type": "string", "description": "The interview ID"},
            },
            "required": ["id"],
        },
    ),
  • The 'handle_call_tool' function acts as a dynamic handler that routes the tool call to the corresponding Ashby API endpoint defined in TOOL_ENDPOINT_MAP.
    @server.call_tool()
    async def handle_call_tool(name: str, arguments: dict[str, Any]) -> list[types.TextContent]:
        """Route tool calls to the correct Ashby endpoint, passing arguments directly."""
        endpoint = TOOL_ENDPOINT_MAP.get(name)
        if not endpoint:
            return [types.TextContent(type="text", text=f"Unknown tool: {name}")]
    
        try:
            # Pass arguments straight through -- tool schemas already use Ashby's
            # camelCase param names so no translation is needed.
            response = ashby.post(endpoint, data=arguments if arguments else None)
            return [types.TextContent(type="text", text=json.dumps(response, indent=2))]
  • TOOL_ENDPOINT_MAP maps the 'interview_info' tool name to the '/interview.info' Ashby API endpoint.
    TOOL_ENDPOINT_MAP = {
        "job_list": "/job.list",
        "job_info": "/job.info",
        "job_search": "/job.search",
        "candidate_list": "/candidate.list",
        "candidate_search": "/candidate.search",
        "candidate_info": "/candidate.info",
        "candidate_create": "/candidate.create",
        "candidate_create_note": "/candidate.createNote",
        "candidate_list_notes": "/candidate.listNotes",
        "candidate_add_tag": "/candidate.addTag",
        "candidate_tag_list": "/candidateTag.list",
        "application_list": "/application.list",
        "application_info": "/application.info",
        "application_create": "/application.create",
        "application_change_stage": "/application.change_stage",
        "interview_stage_list": "/interviewStage.list",
        "interview_plan_list": "/interviewPlan.list",
        "interview_list": "/interview.list",
        "interview_info": "/interview.info",
        "department_list": "/department.list",
        "user_list": "/user.list",
        "source_list": "/source.list",
        "archive_reason_list": "/archiveReason.list",
        "location_list": "/location.list",
    }
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states it 'gets details' but doesn't specify what details are returned, whether this is a read-only operation, if authentication is required, or any rate limits. 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 that communicates the core purpose without any wasted words. It's appropriately sized for a simple lookup tool and front-loads the essential information.

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 simplicity (1 parameter, no output schema, no annotations), the description is minimally adequate. However, it lacks context about what 'details' are returned, which is important since there's no output schema. For a basic read operation, it's functional but could be more informative about the response structure.

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?

The schema description coverage is 100%, with the single parameter 'id' clearly documented in the schema. The description adds no additional semantic context about the parameter beyond what's in the schema (e.g., format examples, valid ranges, or relationship to other tools), so it meets the baseline for high schema coverage.

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 action ('Get details') and resource ('a single interview by ID'), making the purpose immediately understandable. However, it doesn't distinguish this tool from sibling tools like 'interview_list' or 'candidate_info' that might also provide interview-related information, preventing a perfect score.

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 like 'interview_list' or 'candidate_info' (which might include interview data). There's no mention of prerequisites, context for when this is appropriate, or what distinguishes it from similar tools in the sibling list.

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