Implementation Reference

  • The tool "spix_phone_unbind" is defined in the COMMAND_REGISTRY as an MCP tool with path "phone.unbind". It uses the POST method and the API endpoint "/phone/numbers/{number}/unbind".
        path="phone.unbind",
        cli_usage="spix phone unbind <number> --playbook <id>",
        http_method="POST",
        api_endpoint="/phone/numbers/{number}/unbind",
        mcp_expose="tool",
        mcp_profile="safe",
        description="Unbind phone number from playbook",
        positional_args=[
            CommandParam("number", "string", required=True, description="Phone number (E.164)"),
        ],
        params=[
            CommandParam("playbook_id", "string", required=True, description="Playbook ID to unbind"),
        ],
    ),
  • The create_tool_handler function dynamically handles all MCP tool calls, including "spix_phone_unbind". It resolves the tool name to a schema, validates access, and dispatches the request to the appropriate 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.

Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. 'Unbind' implies a mutation operation, but the description doesn't specify whether this requires special permissions, what happens to existing calls/contacts associated with the binding, whether it's reversible, or any rate limits. This leaves significant gaps for a tool that likely modifies system state.

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 states the core purpose without any wasted words. It's appropriately sized for a tool with two well-documented parameters and gets straight to the point.

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?

For a mutation tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description is insufficient. It doesn't explain what happens after unbinding, whether there are side effects, what the response looks like, or error conditions. The 100% parameter coverage helps, but behavioral context is critically lacking for a tool that likely changes system state.

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 has 100% description coverage, with both parameters clearly documented as 'Phone number (E.164)' and 'Playbook ID to unbind'. The description doesn't add any meaningful parameter information beyond what's already in the schema, 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 ('Unbind') and the resources involved ('phone number from playbook'), making the purpose immediately understandable. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from its sibling 'spix_phone_bind' beyond the obvious opposite action, missing an opportunity to clarify the relationship between these two tools.

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, prerequisites, or consequences. Given the sibling tool 'spix_phone_bind' exists, there's no indication of when unbinding is appropriate versus other phone or playbook management operations.

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