Implementation Reference

  • src/tools.ts:361-365 (handler)
    The handler function for vs_alerts_acknowledge. Makes a POST request to /api/alerts/{id}/acknowledge with an optional note body.
      handler: async (args, client) =>
    client.request('POST', `/api/alerts/${encodeURIComponent(requireString(args, 'id'))}/acknowledge`, {
      body: { note: pickString(args, 'note') },
    }),
},

Tool Definition Quality

A3.7/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description bears full responsibility. It mentions that acknowledgement is recorded with the calling API key's user, adding some behavioral context. However, it lacks details on effects like state changes or undo capabilities.

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 consists of two efficient sentences, front-loading the primary action and adding one behavioral detail without waste.

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?

The tool is simple with two parameters and no output schema. The description covers the main purpose and one behavioral aspect but omits response details and prerequisites, leaving some gaps for an agent.

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% for both parameters. The description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema already provides, so baseline 3 is appropriate.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states 'Acknowledge an alert by id,' which is a specific verb+resource combination. It distinguishes itself from siblings like vs_alerts_list by focusing on the acknowledgement action rather than listing.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies when to use (when an alert needs acknowledgment) but provides no explicit guidance on when not to use or alternatives, though the sibling list offers some context.

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