Implementation Reference

  • The execute function contains the main handler logic for fetching an order by ID. It constructs a GraphQL query, calls the Shopify API, formats the response including line items and metafields, and returns the order data.
    execute: async (input: GetOrderByIdInput) => {
      try {
        const { orderId } = input;

  • Input schema definition using Zod for validating the orderId parameter. It requires a non-empty string for the orderId.
    // Input schema for getOrderById
    const GetOrderByIdInputSchema = z.object({
      orderId: z.string().min(1)
    });
    
    type GetOrderByIdInput = z.infer<typeof GetOrderByIdInputSchema>;
  • src/index.ts:137-149 (registration)
    Tool registration with the MCP server. Defines the tool name 'get-order-by-id', the input schema using Zod validation, and the handler that calls getOrderById.execute() and wraps the result in a text response.
    // Add the getOrderById tool
    server.tool(
      "get-order-by-id",
      {
        orderId: z.string().min(1)
      },
      async (args) => {
        const result = await getOrderById.execute(args);
        return {
          content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(result) }]
        };
      }
    );
  • Tool object definition containing name, description, schema reference, and initialize method for setting up the GraphQL client dependency.
    const getOrderById = {
      name: "get-order-by-id",
      description: "Get a specific order by ID",
      schema: GetOrderByIdInputSchema,
    
      // Add initialize method to set up the GraphQL client
      initialize(client: GraphQLClient) {
        shopifyClient = client;
      },
  • Initialization of the getOrderById tool with the Shopify GraphQL client before registering it with the MCP server.
    getOrderById.initialize(shopifyClient);
Behavior1/5

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

Tool has no description.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness1/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Tool has no description.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness1/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Tool has no description.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters1/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Tool has no description.

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

Purpose1/5

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

Tool has no description.

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

Usage Guidelines1/5

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

Tool has no description.

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