Implementation Reference

  • The registration of the 'contact.summary' command which is exposed as the 'spix_contact_summary' MCP tool via the tool handler's mapping logic.
        path="contact.summary",
        cli_usage="spix contact summary <contact_id>",
        http_method="GET",
        api_endpoint="/contacts/{contact_id}/summary",
        mcp_expose="tool",
        mcp_profile="safe",
        description="Get AI-generated contact summary",
        positional_args=[
            CommandParam("contact_id", "string", required=True, description="Contact ID"),
        ],
    ),
  • The generic handler 'create_tool_handler' processes MCP tool calls like 'spix_contact_summary' by resolving the command schema from the registry and dispatching the HTTP request to the API.
    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:

        3. Builds the API request
        4. Dispatches to the backend
        5. Returns the response as MCP TextContent

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 mentions 'AI-generated,' hinting at potential processing or summarization behavior, but fails to disclose critical traits: whether this is a read-only operation, if it requires specific permissions, latency considerations, or what the output format looks like. For a tool with no annotation coverage, this leaves significant behavioral gaps.

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 with zero wasted words. It's front-loaded with the core action and resource, making it easy to parse quickly. Every word earns its place, though this conciseness comes at the cost of detail.

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 and no output schema, the description is incomplete for a tool that presumably returns structured AI-generated content. It doesn't explain what a 'contact summary' includes, how it's generated, or any limitations. For a tool with potential complexity in output, this leaves the agent underinformed about what to expect.

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 input schema has 100% description coverage (contact_id is documented), so the baseline is 3. The description adds no additional parameter semantics beyond what the schema provides—it doesn't clarify the format of contact_id, where to find it, or validation rules. It meets the minimum but doesn't enhance understanding.

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 'Get AI-generated contact summary' clearly states the action (Get) and resource (contact summary), but it's vague about what constitutes a 'contact summary' and doesn't distinguish this tool from sibling tools like spix_contact_show or spix_contact_history. It provides basic purpose but lacks specificity about the AI-generated nature beyond the name.

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 offers no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. With siblings like spix_contact_show (likely for raw contact data) and spix_contact_history (likely for interaction logs), the agent is left to guess when an AI-generated summary is appropriate. No context, exclusions, or prerequisites are mentioned.

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