Implementation Reference

  • src/index.js:1059-1119 (registration)
    Registration of the 'azure_setup_guide' tool, including its inline handler function that returns a static textual guide for Azure container deployment setup, covering options, prerequisites, quick start, and references to related tools.
    server.tool(
      "azure_setup_guide",
      "Guide through Azure setup for container deployment",
      {},
      async () => {
        return {
          content: [{
            type: "text",
            text: `AZURE CONTAINER DEPLOYMENT GUIDE
    =================================
    
    DEPLOYMENT OPTIONS:
    -------------------
    1. Azure Container Apps (Recommended)
       - Serverless containers
       - Auto-scaling, pay per use
       - Best for: microservices, APIs, web apps
    
    2. Azure Container Instances (ACI)
       - Simple single-container workloads
       - Quick testing/dev environments
       - Best for: batch jobs, simple apps
    
    3. Azure App Service
       - PaaS with container support
       - Built-in CI/CD, SSL, custom domains
       - Best for: web applications
    
    4. Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)
       - Full Kubernetes cluster
       - Maximum control and scalability
       - Best for: complex microservices architectures
    
    PREREQUISITES:
    --------------
    1. Azure account: https://azure.microsoft.com/free/
    2. Azure CLI installed: https://docs.microsoft.com/cli/azure/install-azure-cli
    3. Docker installed locally
    
    QUICK START:
    ------------
    1. Install Azure CLI
    2. Login: az login
    3. Create resource group: az group create -n myapp-rg -l westus2
    4. Create container registry: az acr create -n myappacr -g myapp-rg --sku Basic
    5. Push image to ACR
    6. Deploy to Container Apps
    
    APPROVED REGIONS (RTD):
    -----------------------
    - westus
    - westus2 (recommended)
    - westus3
    
    Use 'azure_check_cli' to verify your setup.
    Use 'azure_acr_setup' to create a container registry.
    Use 'azure_container_apps_deploy' to deploy your app.`
          }]
        };
      }
    );
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It mentions 'guide through' which suggests an interactive or informational process, but doesn't disclose whether this tool performs actions, requires authentication, has side effects, or provides step-by-step instructions. For a setup tool with zero annotation coverage, this leaves critical behavioral traits unclear.

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 a single, efficient sentence: 'Guide through Azure setup for container deployment'. It's front-loaded with the core purpose and wastes no words. However, it could be slightly more specific to improve clarity without losing conciseness.

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 Azure setup and container deployment, the description is incomplete. With no annotations, no output schema, and a vague purpose, it doesn't provide enough context for an agent to understand what the tool actually does, what it returns, or how it behaves. It should explain more about the guiding mechanism or expected outcomes.

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 no parameter documentation is needed. The description doesn't add parameter details, which is appropriate. Baseline is 4 for zero parameters, as there's nothing to compensate for.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose3/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description 'Guide through Azure setup for container deployment' states a general purpose (guiding through setup) but is vague about what specific actions or resources are involved. It distinguishes from some siblings like 'azure_check_cli' or 'docker_build' by focusing on setup guidance, but doesn't clearly differentiate from 'azure_acr_setup' or 'azure_secrets_setup' which might also involve Azure setup aspects.

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. With siblings like 'azure_acr_setup', 'azure_secrets_setup', and 'azure_create_workflow', there's no indication of whether this is a comprehensive guide, a prerequisite, or when to choose it over more specific tools. Usage is implied only by the general context of Azure setup.

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