Implementation Reference

  • Execute handler for the close_ticket tool. Validates ticketId, calls apiService.updateTicket to set status to CLOSED, and returns success/error response.
    execute: async (args: { ticketId: string }) => {
      try {
        logger.info('Closing ticket', args);
    
        validateNotEmpty(args.ticketId, 'Ticket ID');
    
        const ticket = await apiService.updateTicket({
          id: args.ticketId,
          status: TicketStatus.CLOSED
        });
    
        return {
          content: [
            {
              type: 'text',
              text: JSON.stringify(
                {
                  success: true,
                  message: 'Ticket closed successfully',
                  ticket: {
                    id: ticket.id,
                    status: ticket.status,
                    updatedAt: ticket.updatedAt
                  }
                },
                null,
                2
              )
            }
          ]
        };
      } catch (error) {
        logger.error('Failed to close ticket', error);
        return {
          content: [
            {
              type: 'text',
              text: JSON.stringify(
                {
                  success: false,
                  error: error instanceof Error ? error.message : 'Unknown error'
                },
                null,
                2
              )
            }
          ],
          isError: true
        };
      }
    }
  • Tool definition including description and Zod input schema for close_ticket.
    close_ticket: {
      description: 'Close a ticket by setting its status to closed',
      parameters: z.object({
        ticketId: z.string().describe('ID of the ticket to close')
      }),
  • src/index.ts:60-68 (registration)
    Instantiation of ticketTools (which includes close_ticket) and merging into allTools object used by MCP server request handlers.
    const ticketTools = createTicketTools(apiService);
    const chatbotTools = createChatbotTools(chatbotService);
    const pdfTools = createPDFTools(pdfService);
    
    const allTools = {
      ...ticketTools,
      ...chatbotTools,
      ...pdfTools
    };
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 performs a mutation ('close'), implying it changes data, but doesn't cover critical aspects like permissions required, whether the action is reversible, side effects (e.g., notifications sent), or error handling. For a mutation 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, efficient sentence that directly states the tool's function without unnecessary words. It is front-loaded with the core action, making it easy to parse. Every part of the sentence contributes to understanding the purpose, with zero waste.

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 the tool's complexity (a mutation with no annotations, 1 parameter, no output schema), the description is incomplete. It lacks details on behavioral traits (e.g., permissions, reversibility), usage context, and expected outcomes. For a tool that modifies data, this minimal description leaves too many gaps for effective agent use.

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 input schema has 1 parameter with 0% description coverage, but the description adds no explicit parameter information. However, with only 1 parameter, the baseline is high (4) as the tool's purpose inherently clarifies the parameter's role ('ticketId' is the ticket to close). The description doesn't add syntax or format details, but the simplicity compensates for the lack of schema descriptions.

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 action ('close') and resource ('a ticket'), specifying the method ('by setting its status to closed'). It distinguishes from siblings like 'create_ticket' and 'update_ticket' by focusing on closure, though it doesn't explicitly contrast with 'update_ticket' which might also modify status. The purpose is specific but could be more differentiated.

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 (e.g., ticket must be open), exclusions, or comparisons to siblings like 'update_ticket' (which might handle status changes more broadly). Usage is implied only by the action, with no explicit context or alternatives stated.

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