Implementation Reference

  • The core handler function that implements the wallet_create_random tool logic using ethers.Wallet.createRandom() to generate a new random wallet, optionally encrypt it, and return wallet details.
    export const createWalletHandler = async (input: any): Promise<ToolResultSchema> => {
      try {
        const options: any = {};
    
        if (input.path) {
          options.path = input.path;
        }
    
        if (input.locale) {
          options.locale = input.locale;
        }
    
        const wallet = ethers.Wallet.createRandom(options);
    
        let result: any = {
          address: wallet.address,
          mnemonic: wallet.mnemonic?.phrase,
          privateKey: wallet.privateKey,
          publicKey: wallet.publicKey
        };
    
        if (input.password) {
          // If a password is provided, encrypt the wallet
          const encryptedWallet = await wallet.encrypt(input.password);
          result.encryptedWallet = encryptedWallet;
        }
    
        return createSuccessResponse(`Wallet created successfully:
          Address: ${wallet.address}
          Private Key: ${wallet.privateKey}
          Public Key: ${wallet.publicKey}
          Mnemonic: ${wallet.mnemonic?.phrase}
          Encrypted Wallet: ${result.encryptedWallet ? "Yes" : "No"}
        `);
      } catch (error) {
        return createErrorResponse(`Failed to create wallet: ${(error as Error).message}`);
      }
    };
  • The input schema definition for the wallet_create_random tool, specifying optional parameters for password, HD path, and locale.

Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states the tool creates a wallet but doesn't mention security implications, storage location, whether the wallet is saved or ephemeral, or potential side effects like overwriting existing wallets. This leaves critical behavioral traits unspecified.

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 directly states the tool's purpose without unnecessary words. It is front-loaded and wastes no space, 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?

Given the complexity of wallet creation (a security-sensitive operation) and the lack of annotations and output schema, the description is insufficient. It doesn't explain what the tool returns (e.g., wallet address, private key, or object), error conditions, or important behavioral details, leaving significant gaps for an AI agent.

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%, so the schema fully documents the three optional parameters (locale, password, path). The description adds no parameter-specific information beyond the schema, but the baseline is 3 since the schema provides adequate coverage without contradiction.

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 a new wallet') and method ('with a random private key'), which distinguishes it from sibling tools like wallet_create_mnemonic_phrase or wallet_from_private_key. However, it doesn't specify what type of wallet (e.g., cryptocurrency) or context, leaving some ambiguity.

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 like wallet_create_mnemonic_phrase or wallet_from_private_key. The description lacks context about use cases, prerequisites, or trade-offs, offering minimal direction for selection.

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