Implementation Reference

  • mcp_server/src/tailtest_mcp/server.py:150-156 (handler)
    Handler for the 'tailtest_ping' tool. Returns a TextContent response with the server version and a reachability confirmation string. This is a simple inline handler (no separate helper module needed).
    if name == "tailtest_ping":
    return [
        TextContent(
            type="text",
            text=f"tailtest-mcp v{__version__} reachable. V14.1 scenario_plan tool live.",
        )
    ]
  • mcp_server/src/tailtest_mcp/server.py:31-35 (schema)
    Input schema for tailtest_ping: an empty object with no required properties and no additional properties allowed. The tool takes no arguments.
    inputSchema={
    "type": "object",
    "properties": {},
    "additionalProperties": False,
},
  • mcp_server/src/tailtest_mcp/server.py:28-36 (registration)
    Registration of tailtest_ping tool in the list_tools() function, which returns the list of Tool objects exposed by the MCP server.
    Tool(
    name="tailtest_ping",
    description="Health check. Returns server version and confirms the MCP server is reachable.",
    inputSchema={
        "type": "object",
        "properties": {},
        "additionalProperties": False,
    },
),
  • mcp_server/src/tailtest_mcp/__init__.py:11-11 (helper)
    Version string (__version__ = '1.0.1') used by the ping handler to report the server version.
    __version__ = "1.0.1"

Tool Definition Quality

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

No annotations provided, but the description honestly discloses the read-only nature and return of server version. No hidden behaviors.

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?

Single concise sentence with no redundancy, efficiently conveying the tool's purpose.

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

Completeness5/5

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

For a simple ping tool with no parameters or output schema, the description fully covers its behavior and return value.

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?

No parameters exist; schema coverage is 100%. Baseline for 0 params is 4.

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 it is a health check that returns server version and confirms reachability, distinguishing it from sibling tools like classification or setup.

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?

Usage is implied as a health check, but no explicit guidance on when to use vs alternatives or when not to use.

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