Implementation Reference

  • The implementation of the `prior_status` tool, including registration, schema definition, and the handler function that fetches agent data.
    server.registerTool("prior_status", {
      title: "Check Agent Status",
      description: "Check your credits, tier, stats, and contribution count. Also available as a resource at prior://agent/status.",
      annotations: { readOnlyHint: true, destructiveHint: false, idempotentHint: true, openWorldHint: false },
      outputSchema: {
        id: z.string(),
        credits: z.number().describe("Current credit balance"),
        tier: z.string(),
        contributions: z.number().optional(),
      },
    }, async () => {
      const data = await client.request("GET", "/v1/agents/me") as any;
      const agent = data?.data || data;
      return {
        structuredContent: {
          id: agent?.id || "",
          credits: agent?.credits ?? 0,
          tier: agent?.tier || "free",
          contributions: agent?.contributions,
        },
        content: [{ type: "text" as const, text: formatResults(data) }],
      };
    });
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already confirm read-only/idempotent safety; description adds valuable behavioral context by enumerating the specific data fields accessed (credits, tier, stats, contributions). No contradictions with annotations.

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?

Two efficient sentences with zero redundancy. First sentence front-loads purpose and return value specifics; second sentence provides resource alternative. Every word earns its place.

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?

Appropriate for a simple read-only status tool. With output schema present, description adequately scopes the operation by listing retrieved fields without over-specifying return structure. Rich annotations cover safety profile.

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?

Zero-parameter tool; schema coverage is 100% (trivially satisfied). Description appropriately requires no parameter explanation, meeting the baseline for empty schemas.

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?

Uses specific verb 'Check' with explicit resource list (credits, tier, stats, contribution count). Distinguishes from action-oriented siblings (contribute, feedback, retract, search) by focusing on self-status retrieval.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Provides clear context by noting the alternative resource URI (prior://agent/status), alerting the agent that this data is accessible via multiple patterns. Lacks explicit when-to-use guidance between tool vs resource, but mentions the existence of alternatives.

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