Implementation Reference

  • The implementation of the `dex_add_contacts_to_group` tool, including its registration, input schema, and execution logic.
    server.tool(
      "dex_add_contacts_to_group",
      "Add one or more contacts to a group by providing their IDs.",
      {
        groupId: z.string(),
        contactIds: z.array(z.string()),
      },
      async (args) => {
        try {
          const result = await dex.put(`/v1/groups/${args.groupId}/contacts`, {
            contactIds: args.contactIds,
          });
          return toResult(result);
        } catch (error) {
          return toError(error);
        }
      }
    );
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden but lacks behavioral details. It states the action is to add contacts, implying a mutation, but does not disclose permissions required, rate limits, side effects (e.g., if duplicates are allowed), or response format. This is inadequate for a mutation tool with zero annotation coverage.

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 a single, efficient sentence with zero waste—front-loaded with the core action and parameters. Every word earns its place, making it easy to parse quickly.

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

Completeness2/5

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

For a mutation tool with no annotations, 0% schema description coverage, and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It lacks details on behavioral traits, error handling, return values, and usage context, leaving significant gaps for an agent to invoke it correctly.

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 0%, so the description must compensate. It mentions 'group ID' and 'contact IDs' as parameters, aligning with the schema's 'groupId' and 'contactIds', but adds no semantic details like ID formats, constraints, or examples. This provides basic mapping but minimal value beyond the bare schema.

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 action ('Add') and resources ('contacts to a group'), specifying it handles one or more contacts via IDs. It distinguishes from sibling 'dex_remove_contacts_from_group' by indicating addition rather than removal, but does not explicitly differentiate from other contact/group tools like 'dex_update_group' or 'dex_manage_contact_tags'.

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 is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites (e.g., existing group and contacts), exclusions, or comparisons to siblings like 'dex_manage_contact_tags' or 'dex_update_group', leaving usage context implied rather than explicit.

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