Implementation Reference

  • The async handler function for the 'create-post' tool that invokes the API client to create the post and handles the response or error.
      async ({ content, imageUrl }) => {
        try {
          const post = await apiClient.createPost({ content, imageUrl });
          return {
            content: [
              {
                type: "text",
                text: JSON.stringify(post, null, 2),
              },
            ],
          };
        } catch (error) {
          console.error("Error creating post:", error);
          return {
            content: [
              {
                type: "text",
                text: `Error creating post: ${
                  error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)
                }`,
              },
            ],
            isError: true,
          };
        }
      }
    );
  • Zod input schema for the 'create-post' tool parameters: content (string 1-280 chars) and optional imageUrl (url).
    {
      content: z
        .string()
        .min(1)
        .max(280)
        .describe("Content of the post (1-280 characters)"),
      imageUrl: z
        .string()
        .url()
        .optional()
        .describe("Optional URL to an image to attach to the post"),
    },
  • src/index.ts:35-36 (registration)
    Registration of the 'create-post' tool on the MCP server.
    server.tool(
      "create-post",
  • The createPost method in the MCPSpaceAPI class that sends a POST request to the API endpoint to create a new post.
    async createPost(input: PostInput): Promise<Post> {
      try {
        const response = await fetch(`${this.baseUrl}/posts`, {
          method: "POST",
          headers: this.headers,
          body: JSON.stringify(input),
        });
    
        if (!response.ok) {
          await this.handleErrorResponse(response);
        }
    
        return (await response.json()) as Post;
      } catch (error) {
        this.handleError(error, "Failed to create post");
      }
    }
  • TypeScript type definition for PostInput used by the API client matching the tool schema.
    export interface PostInput {
      content: string;
      imageUrl?: string;
    }
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It states the tool creates a post but doesn't disclose behavioral traits like authentication requirements, rate limits, side effects (e.g., notifications), or what happens on success/failure. 'Create' implies mutation, but details are missing, leaving significant gaps for an agent.

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 waste. It's front-loaded with the core action and resource, making it easy to parse. Every word earns its place, and there's no redundancy or fluff.

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?

Given no annotations, no output schema, and a mutation tool with 2 parameters, the description is incomplete. It lacks behavioral context (e.g., permissions, effects), usage guidelines, and output details. For a creation tool, this leaves the agent under-informed about how to invoke it successfully.

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 fully documents both parameters (content and imageUrl). The description adds no parameter-specific information beyond implying content is used for creation. Baseline 3 is appropriate as the schema handles semantics, but the description doesn't compensate or add value.

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 ('create') and resource ('new post'), specifying that it uses 'provided content'. It distinguishes from siblings like 'get-feed' (read) and 'reply-to-post' (interact with existing), but doesn't explicitly differentiate from 'update-username' (another mutation). The purpose is specific but could be more distinctive.

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. It doesn't mention prerequisites (e.g., authentication), when not to use it, or how it relates to siblings like 'reply-to-post' for interacting with existing posts. The description assumes context without stating it.

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