Implementation Reference

  • The handler for 'create_reminder' is a stub that returns an inspection message. The real implementation is in a native binary that this stub represents.
      server.tool(name, desc, {}, async () => ({
        content: [{ type: "text", text: "This is an inspection stub. Install Local MCP: npx -y local-mcp@latest setup" }],
      }));
    }
  • server.js:27-27 (registration)
    The 'create_reminder' tool is registered as part of the TOOLS array with description 'Create a new reminder'
    ["create_reminder", "Create a new reminder"],
  • The schema for 'create_reminder' has an empty object '{}', meaning no input parameters are defined in this stub.
    server.tool(name, desc, {}, async () => ({
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden but only repeats the action. It does not disclose any behavioral traits such as default reminders list, permissions, or side effects.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single sentence with no waste. However, it is so minimal that it sacrifices informativeness for brevity.

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 zero parameters, no output schema, and sibling tools like 'list_reminder_lists', the description is incomplete. It fails to explain how the reminder is created, e.g., which list it goes into or how content is specified.

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?

Input schema has zero parameters, so schema coverage is 100%. The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, meeting the baseline.

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 'Create a new reminder' clearly states the verb and resource, distinguishing it from siblings like 'complete_reminder' and 'list_reminders'. However, it lacks additional context about what a reminder entails.

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_calendar_event' or 'create_note'. The description does not specify context or exclusions.

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