Implementation Reference

  • The primary handler function for the 'llm_test_capabilities' tool. It invokes LLMClient.testCapabilities and formats the benchmark results into a structured Markdown report organized by capability categories (reasoning, coding, creative, factual, instruction).
    async llm_test_capabilities(args: z.infer<typeof CapabilitiesSchema>) {
      const client = getClient(args);
      const results = await client.testCapabilities({ model: args.model });
    
      let output = `# 🧠 Test de Capacidades del Modelo\n\n`;
    
      const categories = [
        { key: "reasoning", name: "Razonamiento", emoji: "🤔" },
        { key: "coding", name: "Programación", emoji: "💻" },
        { key: "creative", name: "Creatividad", emoji: "🎨" },
        { key: "factual", name: "Conocimiento Factual", emoji: "📚" },
        { key: "instruction", name: "Seguir Instrucciones", emoji: "📋" },
      ];
    
      for (const cat of categories) {
        const r = results[cat.key as keyof typeof results];
        output += `## ${cat.emoji} ${cat.name}\n\n`;
        output += `**Prompt:** ${r.prompt}\n\n`;
        output += `**Respuesta:**\n${r.response}\n\n`;
        output += `*Latencia: ${r.latencyMs}ms | Tokens/s: ${r.tokensPerSecond.toFixed(2)}*\n\n`;
        output += `---\n\n`;
      }
    
      return { content: [{ type: "text" as const, text: output }] };
    },
  • Helper method in LLMClient that executes the core capability tests using predefined prompts for reasoning, coding, creativity, factual knowledge, and instruction-following, returning BenchmarkResult objects for each.
    async testCapabilities(
      options: { model?: string } = {}
    ): Promise<{
      reasoning: BenchmarkResult;
      coding: BenchmarkResult;
      creative: BenchmarkResult;
      factual: BenchmarkResult;
      instruction: BenchmarkResult;
    }> {
      const tests = {
        reasoning: "Si todos los gatos tienen bigotes y Fluffy es un gato, ¿tiene Fluffy bigotes? Explica tu razonamiento paso a paso.",
        coding: "Escribe una función en Python que calcule el factorial de un número de forma recursiva.",
        creative: "Escribe un haiku sobre la inteligencia artificial.",
        factual: "¿Cuál es la capital de Francia y cuántos habitantes tiene aproximadamente?",
        instruction: "Lista 5 consejos para mejorar la productividad en el trabajo. Sé conciso.",
      };
    
      const results = {
        reasoning: await this.chat(tests.reasoning, options),
        coding: await this.chat(tests.coding, options),
        creative: await this.chat(tests.creative, options),
        factual: await this.chat(tests.factual, options),
        instruction: await this.chat(tests.instruction, options),
      };
    
      return results;
    }
  • MCP tool definition in the tools array, including name, description, and input schema for connection properties and optional model ID.
    {
      name: "llm_test_capabilities",
      description: "Prueba las capacidades del modelo en diferentes áreas: razonamiento, código, creatividad, hechos, instrucciones",
      inputSchema: {
        type: "object" as const,
        properties: {
          ...connectionProperties,
          model: { type: "string", description: "ID del modelo" },
        },
        required: [],
      },
    },
  • src/index.ts:41-44 (registration)
    MCP server registration for ListToolsRequest, returning the tools array that includes the llm_test_capabilities tool schema.
    // Handler para listar herramientas
    server.setRequestHandler(ListToolsRequestSchema, async () => {
      return { tools };
    });
  • src/index.ts:70-71 (registration)
    Dispatch registration in the CallToolRequest handler switch statement, routing calls to the llm_test_capabilities tool handler.
    case "llm_test_capabilities":
      return await toolHandlers.llm_test_capabilities(args as any);
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 mentions testing capabilities but doesn't describe what the tool actually does behaviorally—e.g., whether it runs predefined tests, generates reports, requires specific permissions, has side effects, or returns structured results. For a testing tool with zero annotation coverage, this leaves critical behavioral traits unspecified.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is concise and front-loaded, stating the purpose in a single sentence. It efficiently lists capability areas without unnecessary elaboration. However, it could be slightly more structured by explicitly naming the tool's output or behavioral context, but it avoids waste and is appropriately sized for its purpose.

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 complexity of testing model capabilities, no annotations, and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It doesn't explain what the tool returns (e.g., test results, scores, reports), how it interacts with the model, or any behavioral details. This leaves significant gaps for an agent to understand the tool's full context and usage.

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?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents all three parameters (baseURL, apiKey, model) with descriptions. The description adds no parameter-specific information beyond what's in the schema, such as how these inputs relate to the testing process. With high schema coverage, the baseline score of 3 is appropriate, as the description doesn't compensate but also doesn't detract.

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: 'Prueba las capacidades del modelo en diferentes áreas' (Test the model's capabilities in different areas). It specifies the verb 'prueba' (test) and the resource 'modelo' (model), with examples of capability areas (reasoning, code, creativity, facts, instructions). However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from siblings like llm_benchmark or llm_evaluate_coherence, which may have overlapping testing functions.

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 sibling tools like llm_benchmark or llm_evaluate_coherence, nor does it specify prerequisites, contexts, or exclusions for usage. The agent must infer usage from the purpose alone, which is insufficient for informed selection.

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