Instructions

Add a business insight to the insights memo resource. Useful for recording observations from analysis.

Implementation Reference

  • src/index.ts:262-272 (registration)
    Tool registration for 'append_insight' in the ListToolsRequestSchema handler. Defines the tool name, description ('Add a business insight to the insights memo resource'), and input schema (requires a single 'insight' string property).
    {
      name: 'append_insight',
      description: 'Add a business insight to the insights memo resource. Useful for recording observations from analysis.',
      inputSchema: {
        type: 'object' as const,
        properties: {
          insight: { type: 'string', description: 'The business insight to record' },
        },
        required: ['insight'],
      },
    },
  • Handler implementation for the 'append_insight' tool within the CallToolRequestSchema switch statement. Extracts the 'insight' argument, pushes it onto the shared insights array, and returns a confirmation message with the total count.
    case 'append_insight': {
      const { insight } = toolArgs as { insight: string };
      insights.push(insight);
      return { content: [{ type: 'text', text: `Insight added (total: ${insights.length})` }] };
    }
  • The shared insights store: a module-level string array (insights) that persists insights across tool calls and is also read by the 'memo://insights' resource handler.
    // --- Shared insights store ---
    const insights: 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. It only states 'Add' without disclosing side effects, idempotency, or what happens to the memo resource. This is minimal for understanding the tool's behavior.

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 two sentences, directly stating the action and purpose. No extraneous information. Efficient and well-structured.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool's low complexity (one required parameter, no output schema, no nested objects), the description sufficiently covers its purpose. It could mention the return value, but the core functionality is clear enough for an agent to use.

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?

With 100% schema coverage, the baseline is 3. The description does not add any additional meaning beyond the schema's 'The business insight to record'. No format, constraints, or examples are given.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the action ('Add a business insight'), the resource ('insights memo resource'), and the purpose ('recording observations from analysis'). This differentiates it from sibling tools which are all database operations.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies usage for recording observations but provides no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance. No alternatives or exclusions are mentioned.

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