Implementation Reference

  • Handler function that returns a static text guide for setting up SonarCloud, including steps to create account, import project, generate token, and add GitHub secret.
    export function sonarcloudSetupGuide() {
      return {
        content: [{
          type: "text",
          text: `SONARCLOUD SETUP GUIDE
    ======================
    
    STEP 1: Create SonarCloud Account
    ----------------------------------
    1. Go to https://sonarcloud.io
    2. Click "Log in" → "GitHub"
    3. Authorize SonarCloud to access your GitHub
    
    STEP 2: Import Your Project
    ----------------------------
    1. Click "+ Create new project"
    2. Select "Import from GitHub"
    3. Choose your organization and repository
    
    STEP 3: Generate Token
    ----------------------
    1. Go to: https://sonarcloud.io/account/security
    2. Generate a new token
    3. Copy the token immediately!
    
    STEP 4: Add GitHub Secret
    -------------------------
    gh secret set SONAR_TOKEN`
        }]
      };
    }

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 describes the tool as a 'guide' which implies it provides instructions or assistance, but doesn't specify whether it's interactive, what format the guidance takes (e.g., step-by-step instructions, explanations), or what the expected outcome is. For a guidance tool with zero annotation coverage, this leaves significant behavioral aspects unclear.

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 - a single phrase that directly states the tool's purpose without any unnecessary words. It's front-loaded with the core function and appropriately sized for what it needs to communicate.

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 that this is a guidance tool with no parameters and no output schema, the description is minimally adequate. However, it doesn't explain what kind of guidance is provided, what the user can expect as a result, or how this differs from the more specific sibling tools. For a tool in a context with multiple related SonarCloud tools, more differentiation would be helpful.

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 zero parameters and 100% schema description coverage, so the baseline is 4. The description doesn't need to compensate for any parameter documentation gaps since there are no parameters to document.

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 as guiding through setup and configuration for SonarCloud, which is a specific action (guide) on a specific resource (SonarCloud). However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'sonarcloud_create_config' or 'sonarcloud_create_workflow', which appear to be more specific configuration 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. There are no explicit instructions about when this guide should be used instead of the more specific sibling tools (e.g., sonarcloud_create_config, sonarcloud_create_workflow), nor any prerequisites or context for usage.

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