Implementation Reference

src/index.ts:1350-1353 (handler)

The core handler function implementing the tool logic. Currently a mock that returns a success message simulating the addition of a task to a project via CloudKit.

private async addTaskToProject(taskRecordName: string, projectRecordName: string) {
  // Mock adding task to project via CloudKit
  return { content: [{ type: 'text', text: `Task ${taskRecordName} added to project ${projectRecordName}` }] };
}

src/index.ts:683-685 (registration)

Tool dispatching/registration in the CallToolRequestSchema switch statement, validating args and calling the handler.

case 'assess_add_task_to_project':
  this.validateArgs(args, ['taskRecordName', 'projectRecordName']);
  return await this.addTaskToProject(args.taskRecordName, args.projectRecordName);

Tool Definition Quality

C2.9/5.0

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 offers minimal behavioral insight. It indicates a mutation ('Add') but doesn't disclose permissions needed, side effects (e.g., if task is removed from another project), error conditions, or response format. This leaves significant gaps for a tool that modifies data.

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?

The description is a single, efficient sentence that front-loads the core purpose. It avoids redundancy and wastes no words, though it could be slightly more structured by including usage context.

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 and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It lacks details on behavioral traits (e.g., idempotency, errors), prerequisites, and what the tool returns. Given the complexity of modifying project-task relationships, more context is needed to guide effective use.

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%, with both parameters clearly documented in the schema. The description adds no additional meaning beyond implying the parameters refer to existing records ('existing task', 'project'), which is already suggested by the schema's 'Record name' descriptions. Baseline 3 is appropriate as the schema does the heavy lifting.

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 ('existing task to a project'), specifying the realm ('Assess realm'). It distinguishes from siblings like 'assess_create_task' (creation vs. adding existing) and 'assess_remove_task_from_project' (add vs. remove). However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from 'assess_add_task_to_idea', which has a similar structure but different target resource.

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 explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives is provided. The description implies usage for adding tasks to projects in the Assess realm, but it doesn't mention prerequisites (e.g., task/project must exist), exclusions, or direct comparisons to siblings like 'assess_add_task_to_idea' or 'assess_remove_task_from_project'.

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