Implementation Reference

  • The actual execution logic for dex_create_group, which calls the Dex API to create a group.
    async (args) => {
      try {
        const result = await dex.post("/v1/groups/", {
          group: { name: args.name, emoji: args.emoji },
        });
        return toResult(result);
      } catch (error) {
        return toError(error);
      }
    }
  • The input schema definition for dex_create_group.
    {
      name: z.string(),
      emoji: z.string().optional(),
    },
  • Registration of the dex_create_group tool within the MCP server.
    server.tool(
      "dex_create_group",
      "Create a new group for organizing contacts.",
      {
        name: z.string(),
        emoji: z.string().optional(),
      },
      async (args) => {
        try {
          const result = await dex.post("/v1/groups/", {
            group: { name: args.name, emoji: args.emoji },
          });
          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 for behavioral disclosure. It states this is a creation operation but doesn't mention permission requirements, whether groups are unique, what happens on duplicate names, rate limits, or what the response contains. 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 that states the core purpose without unnecessary words. It's appropriately sized for a simple creation tool and front-loads the essential information.

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 insufficient. It doesn't explain what parameters are needed, what the tool returns, or important behavioral aspects like error conditions or side effects.

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

Parameters2/5

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 for undocumented parameters. It mentions neither parameter ('name' or 'emoji'), their purposes, formats, constraints, or examples. The description adds no value beyond what the bare schema provides.

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 ('Create') and resource ('new group for organizing contacts'), making the purpose immediately understandable. It doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'dex_update_group' or 'dex_delete_group', but the verb 'Create' provides basic distinction.

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 about when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'dex_update_group' or 'dex_delete_group'. The description doesn't mention prerequisites, constraints, or typical use cases 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.
