Implementation Reference

  • The async handler function for the 'list_orders' tool. It constructs parameters from inputs, calls shipbobClient.getOrders, and returns the JSON-stringified orders or an error message.
    handler: async ({ page, limit, status, startDate, endDate }) => {
      try {
        const params = { page, limit, status, startDate, endDate };
        const orders = await shipbobClient.getOrders(params);
        return {
          content: [{ 
            type: "text", 
            text: JSON.stringify(orders, null, 2)
          }]
        };
      } catch (error) {
        return {
          content: [{ type: "text", text: `Error listing orders: ${error.message}` }],
          isError: true
        };
      }
    }
  • Zod schema defining the optional input parameters for filtering and paginating the list of orders.
    schema: {
      page: z.number().optional().describe("Page number for pagination"),
      limit: z.number().optional().describe("Number of orders per page"),
      status: z.string().optional().describe("Filter by order status"),
      startDate: z.string().optional().describe("Start date for filtering (YYYY-MM-DD)"),
      endDate: z.string().optional().describe("End date for filtering (YYYY-MM-DD)")
    },
  • src/server.js:51-51 (registration)
    Registers the orderTools array, which includes the 'list_orders' tool, using the registerTools utility function.
    registerTools(orderTools);
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.
