Tool call template

This tool declares no required parameters. Add optional parameters from the input schema as needed.

{
  "id": 1,

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No arguments

Implementation Reference

  • src/index.ts:33-35 (registration)
    Registers the 'get_current_time' MCP tool with an empty parameter schema and an inline async handler that returns the current date and time in ISO string format.
    server.tool("get_current_time", "返回当前的日期和时间", {}, async () => ({
  content: [{ type: "text", text: new Date().toISOString() }],
}));

TDQS

B3.2/5.0
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 the tool returns the current date and time, which implies it's a read-only operation with no side effects, but it doesn't explicitly confirm this or disclose other behavioral traits like timezone handling, format, or potential delays. For a tool with zero annotation coverage, this is a significant gap.

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 in Chinese that directly states the tool's purpose. It's front-loaded with no wasted words, making it highly concise and well-structured for its simple function.

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 low complexity (0 parameters, no output schema, no annotations), the description is minimally adequate. It states what the tool does but lacks details on return format or behavioral context. Without annotations or output schema, the description should ideally provide more completeness, but it meets the bare minimum for such a simple 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 0 parameters, and the schema description coverage is 100% (since there are no parameters to describe). The description doesn't need to add parameter semantics, so a baseline of 4 is appropriate as it doesn't introduce confusion or redundancy.

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 '返回当前的日期和时间' (returns the current date and time) clearly states the tool's purpose with a specific verb ('返回') and resource ('当前的日期和时间'). It's not tautological with the name 'get_current_time' since it provides the Chinese translation. However, it doesn't explicitly distinguish from the sibling tool 'number_add', though that distinction is obvious given their different domains.

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 any context, prerequisites, or exclusions. While the tool's purpose is simple and the sibling 'number_add' is unrelated, the description itself offers no usage guidelines.

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