Implementation Reference

  • MCP server tool handler function for 'reply-to-post'. Calls the MCPSpaceAPI.replyToPost method and formats the response or error.
          const reply = await apiClient.replyToPost({
            content,
            parentId,
            imageUrl,
          });
          return {
            content: [
              {
                type: "text",
                text: JSON.stringify(reply, null, 2),
              },
            ],
          };
        } catch (error) {
          console.error("Error creating reply:", error);
          return {
            content: [
              {
                type: "text",
                text: `Error creating reply: ${
                  error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)
                }`,
              },
            ],
            isError: true,
          };
        }
      }
    );

Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden but only states the basic action without disclosing behavioral traits. It doesn't mention permissions needed, whether replies are editable/deletable, rate limits, or what happens on success/failure, leaving significant gaps 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 zero waste, front-loading the core purpose. Every word earns its place, making it appropriately sized for the tool's complexity.

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 incomplete. It lacks details on behavioral aspects, error handling, or return values, failing to compensate for the missing structured data despite the simple input schema.

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 all parameters. The description adds no additional meaning beyond what's in the schema, such as explaining relationships between parameters or usage nuances, 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 ('Create a reply') and target resource ('to an existing post'), making the purpose immediately understandable. However, it doesn't differentiate from sibling tools like 'create-post' beyond the target being a reply versus a new post, missing explicit distinction.

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 'create-post' for new posts or 'toggle-like' for interactions. The description implies usage for replying but offers no context about prerequisites, timing, or exclusions.

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