Implementation Reference

  • The handler function for the "update-username" tool. It calls the MCPSpaceAPI to update the username and returns a formatted success or error message.
    async ({ username }) => {
      try {
        const result = await apiClient.updateUsername({ username });
        return {
          content: [
            {
              type: "text",
              text: `Username updated successfully to '${result.name}'`,
            },
          ],
        };
      } catch (error) {
        console.error("Error updating username:", error);
        return {
          content: [
            {
              type: "text",
              text: `Error updating username: ${
                error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)
              }`,
            },
          ],
          isError: true,
        };
      }
    }
  • Zod schema defining the input parameters for the "update-username" tool.
    {
      username: z.string().min(1).max(255).describe("New username"),
    },
  • src/index.ts:208-240 (registration)
    Registration of the "update-username" tool on the MCP server using server.tool method, including name, description, schema, and handler.
    server.tool(
      "update-username",
      "Update the authenticated user's username",
      {
        username: z.string().min(1).max(255).describe("New username"),
      },
      async ({ username }) => {
        try {
          const result = await apiClient.updateUsername({ username });
          return {
            content: [
              {
                type: "text",
                text: `Username updated successfully to '${result.name}'`,
              },
            ],
          };
        } catch (error) {
          console.error("Error updating username:", error);
          return {
            content: [
              {
                type: "text",
                text: `Error updating username: ${
                  error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)
                }`,
              },
            ],
            isError: true,
          };
        }
      }
    );
  • Supporting API client method that performs the actual HTTP request to update the user's username.
    async updateUsername(
      input: UpdateUsernameInput
    ): Promise<UpdateUsernameResponse> {
      try {
        const response = await fetch(`${this.baseUrl}/users/username`, {
          method: "PUT",
          headers: this.headers,
          body: JSON.stringify(input),
        });
    
        if (!response.ok) {
          await this.handleErrorResponse(response);
        }
    
        return (await response.json()) as UpdateUsernameResponse;
      } catch (error) {
        this.handleError(error, "Failed to update username");
      }
    }
  • TypeScript type definitions for the input and response of the update username API call.
    /**
     * Input for updating username
     */
    export interface UpdateUsernameInput {
      username: string;
    }
    
    /**
     * Response from updating username
     */
    export interface UpdateUsernameResponse {
      id: string;
      name: string;
    }
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states 'Update' implies a mutation, but fails to describe permissions needed, whether changes are reversible, rate limits, or what the response looks like. For a mutation tool with zero annotation coverage, this is a significant gap in transparency.

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 that is front-loaded and wastes no words. It directly states the tool's purpose without unnecessary elaboration, making it highly concise and well-structured.

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 that this is a mutation tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It lacks details on behavioral traits, error handling, or return values, which are crucial for understanding how to use the tool effectively in context.

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?

The description does not add any meaning beyond what the input schema provides, as schema description coverage is 100% with the parameter 'username' clearly documented. With only one parameter, the baseline is 3, as the schema adequately handles the semantics without additional description.

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 ('Update') and the resource ('the authenticated user's username'), making the purpose immediately understandable. However, it doesn't differentiate from sibling tools like 'create-post' or 'reply-to-post', which are unrelated operations, so it doesn't fully distinguish itself in context.

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?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, prerequisites, or any context about its application. It lacks any mention of when-not-to-use scenarios or comparisons with other tools, leaving usage entirely implicit.

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