Implementation Reference

  • The implementation of the get_activity tool, which performs an HTTP GET request to the /activities/{id} endpoint of the Pipedrive API.
    async getActivity(id: number): Promise<PipedriveResponse<Activity>> {
      return this.handleRequest<Activity>(
        this.client.get(`/activities/${id}`)
      );
    }
  • The MCP tool registration and schema definition for 'get_activity'.
    {
      name: 'get_activity',
      description: 'Get a specific activity by ID',
      inputSchema: {
        type: 'object',
        properties: {
          id: {
            type: 'number',
            description: 'Activity ID',
          },
        },
        required: ['id'],
      },
    },
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must carry full behavioral disclosure burden. It implies a read operation via 'Get' but does not state whether it's read-only, safe to retry, or what happens when the ID is not found (exception vs null return).

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Single sentence of appropriate length for a simple retrieval tool. No redundancy or waste, though minimally informative.

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?

Adequate for a simple single-parameter getter with complete schema coverage, but lacks domain context (e.g., what constitutes an 'activity' in this CRM system) and error behavior documentation expected when no output schema exists.

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% (the single 'id' parameter has description 'Activity ID'), so the schema fully documents inputs. The description adds no additional parameter semantics, meeting the baseline score for high-coverage schemas.

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 uses specific verb 'Get' and resource 'activity', with 'specific' and 'by ID' indicating singular retrieval. However, it does not explicitly distinguish from sibling tool 'get_activities' (plural) or state when to use one versus the other.

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?

No guidance provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'get_activities' or 'search_items'. No mention of prerequisites like needing to know the activity ID beforehand.

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