Implementation Reference

  • Inline asynchronous handler function that fetches and returns the API communication standards content from the markdown file using the shared getStandardContent helper.
    async () => {
      const result = getStandardContent("standards", "api_communication");
      
      return {
        content: [
          {
            type: "text",
            text: result.content ?? result.error ?? "Error: No content or error message available",
          },
        ],
      };
    },
  • src/index.ts:169-185 (registration)
    Registration of the 'get_api_communication' tool on the MCP server instance, specifying name, description, empty input schema, and inline handler.
    server.tool(
      "get_api_communication",
      "Get API communication standards for React Native development",
      {},
      async () => {
        const result = getStandardContent("standards", "api_communication");
        
        return {
          content: [
            {
              type: "text",
              text: result.content ?? result.error ?? "Error: No content or error message available",
            },
          ],
        };
      },
    );
  • Shared helper function used by multiple standard-retrieval tools, including get_api_communication, to read and return content from standard markdown files in the resources/standards directory.
    function getStandardContent(category: string, standardId: string): { content?: string; error?: string } {
      const standardPath = path.join(RESOURCES_DIR, category, `${standardId}.md`);
      
      if (!fs.existsSync(standardPath)) {
        return { error: `Standard ${standardId} not found` };
      }
      
      try {
        const content = fs.readFileSync(standardPath, 'utf8');
        return { content };
      } catch (err) {
        console.error(`Error reading standard ${standardId}:`, err);
        return { error: `Error reading standard ${standardId}` };
      }
    }
  • Runtime (transpiled) inline handler function equivalent to the source in src/index.ts.
    server.tool("get_api_communication", "Get API communication standards for React Native development", {}, async () => {
        const result = getStandardContent("standards", "api_communication");
        return {
            content: [
                {
                    type: "text",
                    text: result.content ?? result.error ?? "Error: No content or error message available",
                },
            ],
        };
  • build/index.js:140-150 (registration)
    Runtime registration of the tool in the built JavaScript version.
    server.tool("get_api_communication", "Get API communication standards for React Native development", {}, async () => {
        const result = getStandardContent("standards", "api_communication");
        return {
            content: [
                {
                    type: "text",
                    text: result.content ?? result.error ?? "Error: No content or error message available",
                },
            ],
        };
    });
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 the tool retrieves standards, implying a read-only operation, but doesn't specify details like whether it returns static documentation, best practices, or code snippets, or if there are any constraints like rate limits or authentication needs. For a 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, clear sentence that efficiently conveys the tool's purpose without any wasted words. It's front-loaded with the key information and appropriately sized for a zero-parameter tool, making it easy for an agent to parse and understand 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's complexity is low (zero parameters, no output schema), the description is minimally adequate. It states what the tool does but lacks details on behavioral traits, usage context, or output format, which would be helpful for an agent to invoke it correctly. With no annotations and no output schema, the description should do more to compensate, but it meets the basic requirement for a simple retrieval tool.

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

Parameters4/5

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

The tool has zero parameters, and the input schema coverage is 100%, so there's no need for parameter documentation in the description. The description appropriately focuses on the tool's purpose without redundant parameter details, earning a high baseline score. It doesn't add semantics beyond the schema, but that's acceptable given the lack of parameters.

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 tool's purpose: 'Get API communication standards for React Native development.' It specifies the verb ('Get'), resource ('API communication standards'), and domain context ('React Native development'), making it easy to understand what the tool does. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'get_service_example' or 'list_available_examples,' which might also relate to API communication, preventing a perfect score.

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. It doesn't mention prerequisites, context for use, or exclusions, nor does it compare to sibling tools such as 'get_service_example' or 'get_component_example' that might overlap in API-related content. This lack of usage context leaves the agent without clear direction.

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