Implementation Reference

  • The handler function that implements the core logic of the get_children_url_info tool. It takes site_url and parent_url as inputs, makes an API request to Bing Webmaster Tools, and returns a list of child URL information.
    async def get_children_url_info(
        site_url: Annotated[str, "The URL of the site"],
        parent_url: Annotated[str, "The parent URL"],
    ) -> List[Dict[str, Any]]:
        """
        Get information about child URLs under a parent URL.
    
        Args:
            site_url: The URL of the site
            parent_url: The parent URL
    
        Returns:
            List of child URL information
        """
        async with api:
            children = await api._make_request(
                f"GetChildrenUrlInfo?siteUrl={site_url}&parentUrl={parent_url}"
            )
            return api._ensure_type_field(children, "ChildUrlInfo")
  • The @mcp.tool decorator that registers the get_children_url_info tool with its name and description.
    @mcp.tool(
        name="get_children_url_info",
        description="Get information about child URLs under a parent URL.",
    )
  • Input and output type annotations defining the schema for the tool, including parameter descriptions and return type.
        site_url: Annotated[str, "The URL of the site"],
        parent_url: Annotated[str, "The parent URL"],
    ) -> List[Dict[str, Any]]:
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 states a read operation ('Get information'), implying it's likely non-destructive, but doesn't disclose behavioral traits such as authentication needs, rate limits, output format, or potential side effects. This is inadequate for a tool with no annotation coverage.

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 no wasted words. It's front-loaded and appropriately sized for the tool's apparent complexity, making it easy to parse quickly.

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

Completeness3/5

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

Given the tool has an output schema (which reduces the need to describe return values) but no annotations and low parameter coverage, the description is minimally adequate. It states the basic purpose but lacks usage guidelines, behavioral context, and parameter details, leaving gaps in overall completeness.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It mentions 'child URLs under a parent URL', which hints at the 'parent_url' parameter, but doesn't explain 'site_url' or provide any details on parameter formats, constraints, or relationships. This adds minimal value beyond the schema.

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 verb 'Get' and the resource 'information about child URLs under a parent URL', making the purpose understandable. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'get_children_url_traffic_info' or 'get_url_info', which might have overlapping functionality.

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. With many sibling tools (e.g., 'get_children_url_traffic_info', 'get_url_info', 'fetch_url'), there's no indication of context, prerequisites, or exclusions, leaving usage ambiguous.

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