Implementation Reference

  • server.py:16-24 (handler)
    The handler function decorated with @app.tool(), which registers and implements the get_hackathon_info tool by returning the contents of hackathon_overview.md.
    @app.tool()
    def get_hackathon_info() -> str:
        """Get the complete hackathon overview with all information about the MCP Server Hackathon.
        
        Returns:
            The full hackathon overview document including format, getting started guide, 
            project ideas, resources, and quick reference.
        """
        return HACKATHON_MARKDOWN
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses that the tool returns a 'full hackathon overview document' with specific content areas (format, guide, ideas, etc.), which adds useful context about the output. However, it does not cover behavioral traits like error handling, rate limits, or authentication needs, leaving gaps in transparency.

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 front-loaded with the core purpose in the first sentence, followed by a concise breakdown of return content. Every sentence adds value without waste, and the structure is clear and efficient for a tool with no parameters.

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

Completeness4/5

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

Given the tool's simplicity (0 parameters, no annotations, but has an output schema), the description is reasonably complete. It explains what the tool does and details the return content, which compensates for the lack of annotations. However, it could be more thorough by addressing potential errors or usage scenarios, slightly reducing completeness.

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

Parameters4/5

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

The input schema has 0 parameters with 100% coverage, so no parameter documentation is needed. The description does not discuss parameters, which is appropriate. Baseline is 4 for zero parameters, as it avoids unnecessary repetition of schema information.

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 tool's purpose: 'Get the complete hackathon overview with all information about the MCP Server Hackathon.' It specifies the verb ('Get') and resource ('hackathon overview'), but since there are no sibling tools, it cannot demonstrate differentiation from alternatives. The purpose is specific but lacks sibling context.

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. It does not mention any prerequisites, contexts, or exclusions. With no sibling tools, the bar is lower, but it still fails to offer any usage context beyond the basic purpose.

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