Implementation Reference

  • The main handler function 'format' that implements the 'dart-format' tool by executing the 'dart format' CLI command with the provided paths, options, and flags.
    export async function format(args: z.infer<typeof formatSchema>) {
      const { paths, setExitIfChanged, options = [] } = args;
      
      // Convert all relative paths to absolute paths
      const absolutePaths = toAbsolutePaths(paths);
      
      const cmdArgs = [
        ...absolutePaths,
        ...(setExitIfChanged ? ['--set-exit-if-changed'] : []),
        ...options
      ];
      
      const { stdout, stderr } = await executeDartCommand('format', cmdArgs);
      
      return {
        content: [
          { type: "text" as const, text: stdout || stderr }
        ],
        isError: !!stderr
      };
    }
  • Zod schema defining the input parameters for the 'dart-format' tool: paths to format, setExitIfChanged flag, and optional additional options.
    export const formatSchema = z.object({
      paths: z.array(z.string()).describe('Files or directories to format'),
      setExitIfChanged: z.boolean().default(false).describe('Return exit code 1 if there are any formatting changes'),
      options: z.array(z.string()).optional().describe('Additional format options')
    });
  • src/index.ts:38-38 (registration)
    Registration of the 'dart-format' tool on the MCP server, linking the name, schema, and handler function.
    server.tool('dart-format', formatSchema.shape, format);
  • src/index.ts:20-20 (registration)
    Import of the 'format' handler and 'formatSchema' used for the 'dart-format' tool.
    import { format, formatSchema } from './tools/format.js';
  • Tool description/capability for 'dart-format' in the MCP server configuration.
    'dart-format': "Idiomatically format Dart source code",
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.
