Implementation Reference

  • src/index.js:324-380 (registration)
    Full registration of the search_google_flights_calendar tool, including input schema definition and the inline handler function that queries the google_flights_calendar engine via searchapi.io.

        };
      }
    );
  • The core handler function that validates inputs, builds request parameters for the google_flights_calendar engine, calls the shared makeSearchapiRequest helper, and formats the response.
    async (args) => {
      const params = {
        engine: 'google_flights_calendar',
        flight_type: args.flight_type,
        departure_id: args.departure_id,
        arrival_id: args.arrival_id,
        outbound_date: args.outbound_date
      };
      
      // 检查航班类型,确保提供必要参数
      if (args.flight_type === 'round_trip' && !args.return_date) {
        return {
          content: [{ type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify({ error: '往返航班需要提供return_date参数' }) }],
          isError: true
        };
      } else if (args.flight_type === 'round_trip') {
        params.return_date = args.return_date;
      }
      
      // 添加可选参数
      const optionalParams = [
        'outbound_date_start', 'outbound_date_end', 'return_date_start', 'return_date_end',
        'gl', 'hl', 'currency', 'adults', 'children', 'travel_class', 'stops'

      return {
        content: [{ type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(result, null, 2) }]
      };
    }
  • Zod schema defining the input parameters for the search_google_flights_calendar tool.
    {
      flight_type: z.string().describe('航班类型'),
      departure_id: z.string().describe('出发地ID'),

  • Shared helper function used by the tool to make API requests to searchapi.io, handling API key injection and error processing.
    async function makeSearchapiRequest(params) {
      // 确保API Key被添加到参数中
      params.api_key = SEARCHAPI_API_KEY;
      
      try {
        const response = await axios.get(SEARCHAPI_URL, {
          params,
          timeout: 30000 // 30秒超时
        });
        return response.data;
      } catch (error) {
        let errorDetail = null;
        
        if (error.response) {
          try {
            errorDetail = error.response.data;
          } catch (e) {
            errorDetail = error.response.statusText;
          }
        }
        
        const errorMessage = `调用searchapi.io时出错: ${error.message}`;
        if (errorDetail) {
          return { error: `${errorMessage}, 详情: ${JSON.stringify(errorDetail)}` };
        }
        
        return { error: errorMessage };
      }
    }
Behavior1/5

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

Tool has no description.

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

Conciseness1/5

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

Tool has no description.

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

Completeness1/5

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

Tool has no description.

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

Parameters1/5

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

Tool has no description.

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

Purpose1/5

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

Tool has no description.

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

Usage Guidelines1/5

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

Tool has no description.

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