Implementation Reference

  • The handler function that executes the logic for the 'auth_status' tool. It retrieves the current authentication state using AuthManager and constructs a detailed status message based on the auth type, including token details, expiry, and headers.
    async () => {
      const authManager = AuthManager.getInstance();
      const authState = authManager.getAuthState();
      
      let statusText = "";
      
      if (authState.type === 'none') {
        statusText = "No authentication configured. Use basic_auth, token_auth, oauth2_auth, or api_login to authenticate.";
      } else {
        statusText = `Current authentication type: ${authState.type}\n`;
        
        if (authState.type === 'basic') {
          statusText += `Username: ${authState.username}\n`;
          statusText += `Authentication header: Authorization: Basic ***\n`;
        } else if (authState.type === 'token' || authState.type === 'oauth2') {
          statusText += `Token: ${authState.token?.substring(0, 10)}***\n`;
          if (authState.refreshToken) {
            statusText += `Refresh token: Available\n`;
          }
          if (authState.tokenExpiry) {
            const now = new Date();
            const isExpired = now > authState.tokenExpiry;
            statusText += `Token expires: ${authState.tokenExpiry.toISOString()} (${isExpired ? 'EXPIRED' : 'Valid'})\n`;
          }
          if (authState.headers) {
            statusText += `Authentication headers: ${Object.keys(authState.headers).join(', ')}\n`;
          }
        }
      }
      
      return {
        content: [
          {
            type: "text",
            text: statusText,
          },
        ],
      };
    }
  • Registration of the 'auth_status' tool in the registerAuthenticationTools function using server.tool(). Includes empty input schema (no parameters) and references the inline handler.
    server.tool(
      "auth_status",
      {},
      async () => {
        const authManager = AuthManager.getInstance();
        const authState = authManager.getAuthState();
        
        let statusText = "";
        
        if (authState.type === 'none') {
          statusText = "No authentication configured. Use basic_auth, token_auth, oauth2_auth, or api_login to authenticate.";
        } else {
          statusText = `Current authentication type: ${authState.type}\n`;
          
          if (authState.type === 'basic') {
            statusText += `Username: ${authState.username}\n`;
            statusText += `Authentication header: Authorization: Basic ***\n`;
          } else if (authState.type === 'token' || authState.type === 'oauth2') {
            statusText += `Token: ${authState.token?.substring(0, 10)}***\n`;
            if (authState.refreshToken) {
              statusText += `Refresh token: Available\n`;
            }
            if (authState.tokenExpiry) {
              const now = new Date();
              const isExpired = now > authState.tokenExpiry;
              statusText += `Token expires: ${authState.tokenExpiry.toISOString()} (${isExpired ? 'EXPIRED' : 'Valid'})\n`;
            }
            if (authState.headers) {
              statusText += `Authentication headers: ${Object.keys(authState.headers).join(', ')}\n`;
            }
          }
        }
        
        return {
          content: [
            {
              type: "text",
              text: statusText,
            },
          ],
        };
      }
    );
  • The getAuthState() method of AuthManager class, which is called by the auth_status handler to obtain the current authentication state object.
    public getAuthState(): AuthState {
      return { ...this.authState };
    }
  • High-level registration call in registerSecurityTools that invokes registerAuthenticationTools, which registers the auth_status tool among others.
    registerAuthenticationTools(server);
  • AuthState interface defining the structure of authentication state used by getAuthState() and processed in the auth_status handler.
    export interface AuthState {
      type: 'token' | 'oauth2' | 'basic' | 'none';
      token?: string;
      refreshToken?: string;
      tokenExpiry?: Date;
      username?: string;
      password?: string; // Note: In a production app, we'd use more secure storage
      oauthTokens?: any;
      headers?: Record<string, string>;
    }
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.
