Implementation Reference

  • The MCP tool handler function that implements the 'delete_ticket' tool by sending a DELETE request to the Freshdesk API to delete the specified ticket.
    @mcp.tool()
    async def delete_ticket(ticket_id: int) -> str:
        """Delete a ticket in Freshdesk."""
        url = f"https://{FRESHDESK_DOMAIN}/api/v2/tickets/{ticket_id}"
        headers = {
            "Authorization": f"Basic {base64.b64encode(f'{FRESHDESK_API_KEY}:X'.encode()).decode()}"
        }
        async with httpx.AsyncClient() as client:
            response = await client.delete(url, headers=headers)
            return response.json()
Behavior1/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. 'Delete' implies a destructive mutation, but the description doesn't specify whether deletion is permanent, reversible, requires specific permissions, or has side effects (like cascading deletions). This is inadequate for a destructive operation 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, direct sentence with zero wasted words. It's front-loaded with the core action and resource, making it immediately scannable and efficient.

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 destructive mutation tool with no annotations, no output schema, and 0% schema description coverage, this description is insufficient. It doesn't address critical context like permissions, irreversibility, error conditions, or what happens post-deletion. The agent lacks necessary information to use this tool safely and correctly.

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 0%, so the description must compensate for undocumented parameters. The description mentions 'a ticket' which implies the 'ticket_id' parameter, but doesn't explain what format or range is valid (e.g., integer ID from Freshdesk). It adds minimal semantic context beyond the schema's basic type information.

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 ('Delete') and resource ('a ticket in Freshdesk'), making the purpose immediately understandable. However, it doesn't differentiate from sibling tools like 'delete_ticket_summary' or 'update_ticket', which could cause confusion about when to choose this specific deletion tool.

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. With siblings like 'delete_ticket_summary' and 'update_ticket' available, there's no indication of whether this is for permanent deletion, soft deletion, or specific ticket types. The agent receives no usage context.

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