Implementation Reference

  • Registration of the 'list-simulator-sessions' MCP tool, including empty input schema and inline handler function that retrieves sessions via simulatorManager.getAllSessions() and returns them as JSON text.
    this.server.tool(
      'list-simulator-sessions',
      {},
      async () => {
        fileLogger.info('Listing all simulator sessions');
        try {
          const sessions = simulatorManager.getAllSessions();
          
          return {
            content: [{
              type: 'text',
              text: JSON.stringify(sessions)
            }]
          };
        } catch (error) {
          fileLogger.error('Failed to list simulator sessions', { error });
          return {
            content: [{
              type: 'text',
              text: `Error: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}`
            }],
            isError: true
          };
        }
      }
    );
  • The inline async handler function that executes the tool logic: logs the action, calls simulatorManager.getAllSessions(), stringifies the result, and returns it in MCP content format, with error handling.
    this.server.tool(
      'list-simulator-sessions',
      {},
      async () => {
        fileLogger.info('Listing all simulator sessions');
        try {
          const sessions = simulatorManager.getAllSessions();
          
          return {
            content: [{
              type: 'text',
              text: JSON.stringify(sessions)
            }]
          };
        } catch (error) {
          fileLogger.error('Failed to list simulator sessions', { error });
          return {
            content: [{
              type: 'text',
              text: `Error: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}`
            }],
            isError: true
          };
        }
      }
    );
  • Core helper method getAllSessions() that returns an array of all active SimulatorSession objects from the internal Map<string, SimulatorSession> sessions.
    /**
     * Gets all simulator sessions
     */
    getAllSessions(): SimulatorSession[] {
      return Array.from(this.sessions.values());
    }
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.
