Implementation Reference

  • Handler function that executes the tool: reads the 'reference/events.md' file content via readMarkdownFile and returns it as MCP content block or error.
    async () => {
      try {
        const content = await readMarkdownFile(path.join(folder, file));
        return {
          content: [
            {
              type: "text",
              text: content
            }
          ]
        };
      } catch (error) {
        const errorMessage = error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error);
        return {
          content: [
            {
              type: "text",
              text: `Error reading ${file}: ${errorMessage}`
            }
          ]
        };
      }
    }
  • src/index.ts:17-45 (registration)
    Tool registration via dynamic loop over docFiles config, registering server.tool('reference-events', description, handler).
    docFiles.forEach(({ folder, file, name, description }) => {
      server.tool(
        name,
        description,
        async () => {
          try {
            const content = await readMarkdownFile(path.join(folder, file));
            return {
              content: [
                {
                  type: "text",
                  text: content
                }
              ]
            };
          } catch (error) {
            const errorMessage = error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error);
            return {
              content: [
                {
                  type: "text",
                  text: `Error reading ${file}: ${errorMessage}`
                }
              ]
            };
          }
        }
      );
    });
  • Tool configuration/schema defining name 'reference-events', target file 'reference/events.md', and description.
    {
      folder: 'reference',
      file: 'events.md',
      name: 'reference-events',
      description: 'Turbo events reference - comprehensive list of all Turbo events fired during navigation, form submissions, frame updates, and stream processing for lifecycle management'
    },
  • Supporting helper to read markdown docs from cache, GitHub raw, or local fallback, invoked with 'reference/events.md' for this tool.
    export async function readMarkdownFile(filename: string): Promise<string> {
      const filePath = path.join(docsFolder, filename);
      if (!filePath.startsWith(docsFolder)) {
        throw new Error("Invalid file path");
      }
      
      // Get current commit info if we don't have it yet
      if (!mainBranchInfo) {
        try {
          const commitInfo = await fetchMainBranchInformation();
          const cacheKey = `${commitInfo.sha.substring(0, 7)}-${commitInfo.timestamp}`;
          mainBranchInfo = {
            ...commitInfo,
            cacheKey
          };
        } catch (shaError) {
          console.error('Failed to get GitHub commit info, falling back to direct fetch');
        }
      }
      
      // Try to read from cache first if we have commit info
      if (mainBranchInfo) {
        const cachedFilePath = path.join(cacheFolder, mainBranchInfo.cacheKey, filename);
        try {
          const content = await fs.promises.readFile(cachedFilePath, "utf-8");
          console.error(`Using cached content for ${mainBranchInfo.cacheKey}: ${filename}`);
          return content;
        } catch (cacheError) {
          // Cache miss, continue to fetch from GitHub
        }
      }
      
      // Fetch from GitHub
      try {
        return await fetchFromGitHub(filename, mainBranchInfo?.cacheKey);
      } catch (githubError) {
        console.error(`GitHub fetch failed: ${githubError}, attempting to read from local files...`);
        
        // Fallback: read from local files
        try {
          return await fs.promises.readFile(filePath, "utf-8");
        } catch (localError) {
          const githubErrorMessage = githubError instanceof Error ? githubError.message : String(githubError);
          const localErrorMessage = localError instanceof Error ? localError.message : String(localError);
          throw new Error(`Failed to read file from GitHub (${githubErrorMessage}) and locally (${localErrorMessage})`);
        }
      }
    }
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It states this is a 'reference' and 'comprehensive list,' implying a read-only, informational operation, but doesn't explicitly confirm this is a safe query (no mutations). It also doesn't disclose any rate limits, authentication requirements, or potential side effects. For a tool with zero annotation coverage, this leaves significant behavioral gaps.

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 front-loads the core purpose ('Turbo events reference') and immediately elaborates with specific details ('comprehensive list of all Turbo events fired during...'). Every word contributes to understanding the tool's scope without redundancy or 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 simplicity (0 parameters, no output schema, no annotations), the description is adequate but not complete. It clearly defines what the tool provides (a reference list of events) but doesn't address behavioral aspects like safety, performance, or format of returned data. For a reference tool with no structured behavioral hints, more context on output expectations would be beneficial.

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 with 100% schema description coverage, so the schema fully documents the lack of inputs. The description appropriately adds no parameter-specific information, as none are needed. This matches the baseline expectation for a zero-parameter tool, where the description focuses on purpose rather than inputs.

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 provides a 'comprehensive list of all Turbo events' and specifies the event categories (navigation, form submissions, frame updates, stream processing). It distinguishes itself from sibling 'reference-' tools by focusing specifically on events rather than attributes, drive, frames, or streams. However, it doesn't explicitly contrast with all siblings like 'handbook-' tools.

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 when this reference should be consulted over other 'reference-' tools or 'handbook-' tools, nor does it specify any prerequisites or contextual triggers for its use. The agent receives no usage direction beyond the tool's stated purpose.

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