Implementation Reference

  • The `create_tool_handler` function is the generic handler that executes any MCP tool by looking up its CommandSchema and dispatching the request to the configured backend API endpoint.
    async def create_tool_handler(
        session: McpSessionContext,
        tool_name: str,
        arguments: dict,
    ) -> list:
        """Execute an MCP tool call by dispatching to the backend API.
    
        This function:
        1. Resolves the tool name to a command schema
        2. Validates session scope (playbook access, channel access)
        3. Builds the API request
        4. Dispatches to the backend
        5. Returns the response as MCP TextContent
    
        Args:
            session: The MCP session context for scope validation.
            tool_name: The MCP tool name (e.g., "spix_playbook_create").
            arguments: The tool arguments from the MCP client.
    
        Returns:
            List containing a single TextContent with the JSON response.

  • The CommandSchema for "billing.credits.history" defines how the tool is exposed, including its API endpoint (/billing/credits/history), HTTP method (GET), and input parameters.
        path="billing.credits.history",
        cli_usage="spix billing credits history",
        http_method="GET",
        api_endpoint="/billing/credits/history",
        mcp_expose="tool",
        mcp_profile="safe",
        description="Show credit usage history",
        params=[
            CommandParam("limit", "integer", default=50, description="Number of results"),
        ],
    ),
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It states 'Show credit usage history', implying a read-only operation, but doesn't disclose behavioral traits such as authentication requirements, rate limits, pagination (despite a 'limit' parameter), data freshness, or error conditions. The description is minimal and lacks necessary context for safe use.

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, efficient sentence with no wasted words. However, it's under-specified rather than concise—it could benefit from additional context without becoming verbose, so it's not a perfect 5.

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 no annotations, no output schema, and a simple input schema, the description is incomplete. It lacks details on what 'credit usage history' entails (e.g., time frames, transaction details), how results are structured, and any behavioral constraints, making it inadequate for informed tool selection and use.

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 description coverage is 100%, with the 'limit' parameter documented as 'Number of results' with a default of 50. The description adds no parameter semantics beyond this, so it meets the baseline of 3 where the schema handles documentation adequately.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose3/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description 'Show credit usage history' clearly states the tool's function (showing history) and resource (credits), but it's vague about scope and format. It doesn't distinguish from sibling 'spix_billing_credits' (which might show current balance vs. history) or specify what 'history' includes (e.g., time range, transaction types).

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 is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description doesn't mention sibling tools like 'spix_billing_credits' or 'spix_billing_status', nor does it specify prerequisites, context, or exclusions for usage.

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