Implementation Reference

  • The handler function for the 'object_detection' tool. It takes an image URL, prompts a vision-language model (gpt-4o-mini by default) to detect objects, and returns the model's response as a string, formatted as JSON.
    async def object_detection(image_url: str) -> str:
        """Detect objects in an image using DeepInfra OpenAI-compatible API with multimodal model."""
        model = DEFAULT_MODELS["object_detection"]
        try:
            response = await client.chat.completions.create(
                model=model,
                messages=[
                    {
                        "role": "user",
                        "content": [
                            {
                                "type": "text",
                                "text": "Analyze this image and detect all objects present. Provide a detailed list of objects you can see, their approximate locations if possible, and confidence scores. Format as JSON."
                            },
                            {
                                "type": "image_url",
                                "image_url": {"url": image_url}
                            }
                        ]
                    }
                ],
                max_tokens=500,
            )
            if response.choices:
                return response.choices[0].message.content
            else:
                return "No objects detected"
        except Exception as e:
            return f"Error detecting objects: {type(e).__name__}: {str(e)}"
  • Registers the object_detection tool with the FastMCP server using the @app.tool() decorator, conditionally based on the ENABLED_TOOLS configuration.
    if "all" in ENABLED_TOOLS or "object_detection" in ENABLED_TOOLS:
        @app.tool()
  • Configuration for the default model used by the object_detection tool.
    "object_detection": os.getenv("MODEL_OBJECT_DETECTION", "openai/gpt-4o-mini"),
  • Function signature and docstring defining the input (image_url: str) and output (str) schema for the tool.
    async def object_detection(image_url: str) -> str:
        """Detect objects in an image using DeepInfra OpenAI-compatible API with multimodal model."""
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It mentions the API provider and model type, but fails to disclose critical behavioral traits such as rate limits, authentication requirements, error handling, or what the output contains (though an output schema exists). For a tool with no annotation coverage, this leaves significant gaps in understanding how the tool behaves operationally.

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 extremely concise and front-loaded, consisting of a single sentence that directly states the tool's purpose and context. Every word earns its place, with no redundant information or fluff. It efficiently communicates the core functionality without unnecessary elaboration.

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 moderate complexity (object detection via an external API), no annotations, and the presence of an output schema, the description is minimally complete. It identifies the tool's purpose and API context but lacks details on behavioral constraints, error cases, or usage nuances. The output schema mitigates the need to describe return values, but other gaps remain, making it adequate but with clear room for improvement.

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?

The description adds no parameter-specific information beyond what the input schema provides. With 0% schema description coverage and only one parameter ('image_url'), the schema alone defines the parameter. The description doesn't explain what format the image URL should be in, supported protocols, or size limitations. Since schema coverage is low, the description fails to compensate, resulting in a baseline score of 3.

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 tool's purpose: 'Detect objects in an image' specifies the verb and resource. It distinguishes from siblings like 'image_classification' or 'zero_shot_image_classification' by focusing on object detection rather than classification. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from other potential object detection tools, keeping it at a 4 rather than a 5.

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 minimal usage guidance. It mentions the API provider (DeepInfra OpenAI-compatible API) and that it uses a multimodal model, but offers no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'image_classification' or 'zero_shot_image_classification'. There's no mention of prerequisites, limitations, or specific scenarios where object detection is preferred over classification.

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