MCP Server for eSignatures

withdraw_contract

Cancel a sent contract before it's signed. Use this tool to retract contracts that need revision or should not proceed.

Instructions

Withdraws a sent contract.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
contract_idYesGUID of the contract to be withdrawn.

Implementation Reference

  • Handler logic that performs the HTTP POST request to withdraw the specified contract via the eSignatures API.
    if name == "withdraw_contract":
        response = await httpxClient.post(f"/api/contracts/{arguments.get('contract_id')}/withdraw?token={secret_token}")
        return [types.TextContent(type="text", text=f"Response code: {response.status_code}, response: {response.json()}")]
  • Registration of the withdraw_contract tool in the list_tools handler, defining its name, description, and input schema.
    types.Tool(
        name="withdraw_contract",
        description="Withdraws a sent contract.",
        inputSchema=INPUT_SCHEMA_WITHDRAW_CONTRACT
    ),
  • Pydantic/JSON schema defining the input parameters for the withdraw_contract tool, requiring a contract_id.
    INPUT_SCHEMA_WITHDRAW_CONTRACT = {
        "type": "object",
        "properties": {
            "contract_id": {"type": "string", "description": "GUID of the contract to be withdrawn."},
        },
        "required": ["contract_id"],
    }
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries full burden but only states the action without disclosing behavioral traits. It doesn't clarify if withdrawal is reversible, requires specific permissions, affects contract state, or has side effects, which is inadequate for a mutation tool.

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 with no wasted words, making it highly concise and front-loaded. It directly states the tool's purpose without unnecessary elaboration.

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 insufficient. It lacks details on behavior, outcomes, error conditions, or how it differs from siblings, leaving significant gaps in understanding for an AI agent.

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%, so the schema already documents the 'contract_id' parameter as a GUID. The description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema provides, such as format examples or context, meeting the baseline for high coverage.

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 ('withdraws') and resource ('a sent contract'), making the purpose understandable. However, it doesn't differentiate from sibling tools like 'delete_contract' or explain what 'withdraw' means versus deletion, leaving room for improvement.

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 guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as 'delete_contract' or 'query_contract', nor does it mention prerequisites like contract status or user permissions. The description lacks context for effective tool selection.

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