Implementation Reference

  • The execute handler for the 'ieee_conferences' tool. It takes parameters like topic, year, location, and maxResults, generates mock IEEE conference data, and returns structured results.
    execute: async (args: any) => {
      const { topic, year, location, maxResults = 10 } = args;
    
      try {
        // 模拟IEEE会议搜索结果
        const mockConferences = Array.from({ length: Math.min(maxResults, 10) }, (_, i) => {
          const conferenceYear = year || (new Date().getFullYear() + Math.floor(Math.random() * 2));
          const locations = ['San Francisco, CA, USA', 'London, UK', 'Tokyo, Japan', 'Berlin, Germany', 'Sydney, Australia'];
          const conferenceLocation = location || locations[Math.floor(Math.random() * locations.length)];
          
          return {

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. 'Search' implies a read-only operation, but the description doesn't mention authentication requirements, rate limits, pagination behavior, or what format results are returned in. For a search tool with zero annotation coverage, this leaves significant gaps in understanding how it behaves.

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 zero wasted words. It's appropriately sized for a search tool and gets straight to the point 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 search tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description is insufficient. It doesn't explain what information is returned about conferences, how results are structured, whether there are limitations on search scope, or how to interpret empty results. The combination of missing behavioral context and output information creates significant gaps.

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 all parameters are well-documented in the schema itself. The description doesn't add any additional parameter semantics beyond what's already in the schema descriptions. The baseline score of 3 reflects adequate parameter documentation through the schema alone.

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 'Search IEEE conferences and proceedings' clearly states the action (search) and resource (IEEE conferences and proceedings). It distinguishes from some siblings like 'search_ieee' (likely broader) and 'ieee_standards_search' (different resource), but doesn't explicitly differentiate from all research/search tools in the list.

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 like 'search_ieee', 'search_semantic_scholar', or other research tools. The description only states what it does, not when it's the appropriate choice among available options.

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