Implementation Reference

  • Generic handler executing all dynamic API tools (including "API-getFederatedActivityById") by looking up the OpenAPI operation and calling the HttpClient.
    server.setRequestHandler(CallToolRequestSchema, async (request) => {
    	// console.error("call tool", request.params);
    	const { name, arguments: params } = request.params;
    
    	console.error("name", name);
    
    	if (name === "API-get-input-schema") {
    		for (const mcpToolWithClient of mcpToolWithClients) {
    			for (const [toolName, def] of Object.entries(
    				mcpToolWithClient.mcpTools.tools,
    			)) {
    				for (const method of def.methods) {
    					const toolNameWithMethod = `${toolName}-${method.name}`;
    					const truncatedToolName = toolNameWithMethod.slice(0, 64);
    					if (truncatedToolName === params.toolName) {
    						return {
    							content: [
    								{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(method.inputSchema) },
    							],
    						};
    					}
    				}
    			}
    		}
    		throw new Error(`Method ${params.toolName} not found`);
    	}
    
    	// find operation
    	const mcpToolWithClient = mcpToolWithClients.find(
    		(t) => t.mcpTools.openApiLookup[name],
    	);
    	if (!mcpToolWithClient) {
    		throw new Error(`Method ${name} not found`);
    	}
    
    	const operation = mcpToolWithClient.mcpTools.openApiLookup[name];
    
    	// execute
    	try {
    		const response = await mcpToolWithClient.client.executeOperation(
    			operation,
    			params,
    		);
    		return {
    			content: [
    				{
    					type: "text", // currently this is the only type that seems to be used by mcp server
    					text: JSON.stringify(response.data), // TODO: pass through the http status code text?
    				},
    			],
    		};
    	} catch (error) {
    		console.error("Error in tool call", error);
    		if (error instanceof HttpClientError) {
    			console.error(
    				"HttpClientError encountered, returning structured error",
    				error,
    			);
    			const data = error.data?.response?.data ?? error.data ?? {};
    			return {
    				content: [
    					{
    						type: "text",
    						text: JSON.stringify({
    							status: "error", // TODO: get this from http status code?
    							...(typeof data === "object" ? data : { data: data }),
    						}),
    					},
    				],
    			};
    		}
    		throw error;
    	}
    });
  • index.js:100-147 (registration)
    Dynamic tool registration: generates list of all API tools from OpenAPI specs using names like `${toolName}-${method.name}` (e.g., "API-getFederatedActivityById").
    server.setRequestHandler(ListToolsRequestSchema, async () => {
    	console.error("list tools");
    	/**
    	 * @typedef {import("@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/types.js").Tool} Tool
    	 * @type {Tool[]}
    	 */
    	const tools = [];
    
    	for (const mcpToolWithClient of mcpToolWithClients) {
    		for (const [toolName, def] of Object.entries(
    			mcpToolWithClient.mcpTools.tools,
    		)) {
    			for (const method of def.methods) {
    				console.error("method", method);
    				const toolNameWithMethod = `${toolName}-${method.name}`;
    				const truncatedToolName = toolNameWithMethod.slice(0, 64);
    				const trimmedDescription = method.description.split("Error")[0].trim();
    				tools.push({
    					name: truncatedToolName,
    					description: trimmedDescription,
    					inputSchema: {
    						type: "object",
    						properties: {},
    					},
    				});
    			}
    		}
    	}
    
    	tools.unshift({
    		name: "API-get-input-schema",
    		description:
    			"Get the input schema for a given API. We should always use this tool to get the input schema for a given API before calling the API.",
    		inputSchema: {
    			type: "object",
    			properties: {
    				toolName: {
    					type: "string",
    					description: "The name of the tool to get the input schema for",
    				},
    			},
    		},
    	});
    
    	console.error("tools", tools);
    
    	return { tools };
    });
  • Dynamic schema retrieval for any API tool (including "API-getFederatedActivityById"), returns the input schema from the OpenAPI method.
    if (name === "API-get-input-schema") {
    	for (const mcpToolWithClient of mcpToolWithClients) {
    		for (const [toolName, def] of Object.entries(
    			mcpToolWithClient.mcpTools.tools,
    		)) {
    			for (const method of def.methods) {
    				const toolNameWithMethod = `${toolName}-${method.name}`;
    				const truncatedToolName = toolNameWithMethod.slice(0, 64);
    				if (truncatedToolName === params.toolName) {
    					return {
    						content: [
    							{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(method.inputSchema) },
    						],
    					};
    				}
    			}
    		}
    	}
    	throw new Error(`Method ${params.toolName} not found`);
    }
  • Converts OpenAPI specs to MCP tools structures used for lookup, execution, and listing (key for dynamic tools like "API-getFederatedActivityById").
    const mcpToolWithClients = converterWithClients.map((cwc) => {
    	const mcpTools = cwc.converter.convertToMCPTools();
    	return {
    		mcpTools,
    		client: cwc.client,
    	};
    });
  • Fetches OpenAPI specifications from RSS3 endpoints, which define the APIs (including getFederatedActivityById) proxied as MCP tools.
    const openApiSpecs = (
    	await Promise.allSettled([
    		fetch("https://gi.rss3.io/docs/openapi.json").then(async (res) => {
    			if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`HTTP error! status: ${res.status}`);
    			return res.json();
    		}),
    		fetch("https://ai.rss3.io/openapi.json").then(async (res) => {
    			if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`HTTP error! status: ${res.status}`);
    			return res.json();
    		}),
    	]).then((results) => {
    		return results.map((result) => {
    			if (result.status === "fulfilled") {
    				const client = new HttpClient(
    					{
    						baseUrl: result.value.servers[0].url,
    					},
    					result.value,
    				);
    				return {
    					spec: result.value,
    					client,
    				};
    			}
    
    			console.error("Failed to fetch openapi spec", result.reason);
    			return null;
    		});
    	})
    ).filter(Boolean);
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 only states the retrieval action without mentioning any behavioral traits like permissions needed, rate limits, error handling, or that it's a beta feature (which might imply instability). This leaves significant gaps in understanding how the tool behaves in practice.

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 extremely concise with a single sentence that front-loads the key action and resource. There is no wasted text, making it efficient and easy to parse, though it could benefit from more detail given the lack of annotations and output schema.

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 complexity of retrieving federated activity data, the description is incomplete. It lacks annotations, has no output schema, and does not explain return values, error cases, or the beta status implications. This makes it inadequate for an agent to fully understand how to use the tool effectively in context.

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 input schema has 0 parameters with 100% coverage, meaning no parameters are documented in the schema. The description does not add parameter details, but since there are no parameters, this is acceptable. It implies retrieval by ID without specifying how the ID is provided, but with zero parameters, the baseline is high as no compensation 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 'Retrieve' and the resource 'Federated Activity by ID', making the purpose specific and understandable. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'API-getActivityById' or 'API-getFederatedAccountActivities', which might retrieve similar data, leaving some ambiguity in sibling differentiation.

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, such as other sibling tools that retrieve activities or federated data. It lacks any context, prerequisites, or exclusions, leaving the agent with no usage instructions beyond the basic purpose.

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