Implementation Reference

  • The main async handler function for the 'dart-doc' tool. Parses arguments, resolves paths, constructs command args for 'dart doc', executes via dart-executor, and returns output or error.
    export async function doc(args: z.infer<typeof docSchema>) {
      const { path, output, options = [] } = args;
      
      // Convert relative paths to absolute paths
      const absolutePath = path ? toAbsolutePath(path) : undefined;
      const absoluteOutput = output ? toAbsolutePath(output) : undefined;
      
      const cmdArgs = [
        ...(absolutePath ? [absolutePath] : []),
        ...(absoluteOutput ? ['--output', absoluteOutput] : []),
        ...options
      ];
      
      const { stdout, stderr } = await executeDartCommand('doc', cmdArgs);
      
      return {
        content: [
          { type: "text" as const, text: stdout || stderr }
        ],
        isError: !!stderr
      };
    }
  • Zod input schema for the dart-doc tool, defining optional path, output directory, and additional options.
    export const docSchema = z.object({
      path: z.string().optional().describe('Directory containing the Dart package to document'),
      output: z.string().optional().describe('Output directory for the generated documentation'),
      options: z.array(z.string()).optional().describe('Additional documentation options')
    });
  • src/index.ts:36-36 (registration)
    Registers the 'dart-doc' tool with the MCP server, providing the schema shape and handler function.
    server.tool('dart-doc', docSchema.shape, doc);
  • src/index.ts:18-18 (registration)
    Imports the doc handler and docSchema from the tools/doc module for registration.
    import { doc, docSchema } from './tools/doc.js';
  • Tool description in the MCP server capabilities configuration.
    'dart-doc': "Generate API documentation for Dart projects",
Behavior1/5

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

Tool has no description.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness1/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Tool has no description.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness1/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Tool has no description.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters1/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Tool has no description.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose1/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Tool has no description.

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

Usage Guidelines1/5

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

Tool has no description.

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