Implementation Reference

  • The main handler function for the 'create_canned_response_folder' tool, decorated with @mcp.tool(). It creates a new canned response folder in Freshdesk by sending a POST request to the API with the provided folder name.
    @mcp.tool()
    async def create_canned_response_folder(name: str)-> Dict[str, Any]:
        """Create a canned response folder in Freshdesk."""
        url = f"https://{FRESHDESK_DOMAIN}/api/v2/canned_response_folders"
        headers = {
            "Authorization": f"Basic {base64.b64encode(f'{FRESHDESK_API_KEY}:X'.encode()).decode()}"
        }
        data = {
            "name": name
        }
        async with httpx.AsyncClient() as client:
            response = await client.post(url, headers=headers, json=data)
            return response.json()
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 (implying mutation), but doesn't mention required permissions, whether this operation is idempotent, what happens on duplicate names, or what the response looks like. For a mutation tool with zero annotation coverage, this leaves significant behavioral gaps.

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 gets straight to the point with no wasted words. It's appropriately sized for a simple creation operation 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, no output schema, and a parameter with 0% schema coverage, the description is inadequate. It doesn't explain what happens after creation, what the response contains, error conditions, or how this tool relates to other canned response operations. The minimal description leaves too many contextual gaps.

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?

The schema has 0% description coverage, so the single parameter 'name' is undocumented in the schema. The description provides no information about this parameter - no explanation of what the name represents, format requirements, length constraints, or examples. The description fails to compensate for the schema's lack of parameter documentation.

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 ('a canned response folder in Freshdesk'), making the purpose immediately understandable. However, it doesn't differentiate from sibling tools like 'create_solution_category_folder' or 'update_canned_response_folder', which would require more specific context about what makes this tool unique.

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?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'update_canned_response_folder' or 'list_canned_response_folders'. There's no mention of prerequisites, constraints, or typical scenarios where folder creation is appropriate versus other operations.

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