Implementation Reference

  • src/index.ts:1267-1287 (registration)
    Registration of the 'create-network-volume' tool via server.tool() with name, schema, and handler.
    // Create Network Volume
    server.tool(
      'create-network-volume',
      {
        name: z.string().describe('Name for the network volume'),
        size: z.number().describe('Size in GB (1-4000)'),
        dataCenterId: z.string().describe('Data center ID'),
      },
      async (params) => {
        const result = await runpodRequest('/networkvolumes', 'POST', params);
    
        return {
          content: [
            {
              type: 'text',
              text: JSON.stringify(result, null, 2),
            },
          ],
        };
      }
    );
  • Input schema for 'create-network-volume' tool: name (string), size (number, 1-4000 GB), dataCenterId (string).
    {
      name: z.string().describe('Name for the network volume'),
      size: z.number().describe('Size in GB (1-4000)'),
      dataCenterId: z.string().describe('Data center ID'),
    },
  • Handler function that sends a POST request to /networkvolumes with the params and returns the response.
    async (params) => {
      const result = await runpodRequest('/networkvolumes', 'POST', params);
    
      return {
        content: [
          {
            type: 'text',
            text: JSON.stringify(result, null, 2),
          },
        ],
      };
    }
  • The runpodRequest helper function used by the handler to make authenticated API calls to RunPod.
    async function runpodRequest(
      endpoint: string,
      method: string = 'GET',
      body?: Record<string, unknown>
    ) {
      const url = `${API_BASE_URL}${endpoint}`;
      const headers = {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${API_KEY}`,
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      };
    
      const options: NodeFetchRequestInit = {
        method,
        headers,
      };
    
      if (body && (method === 'POST' || method === 'PATCH')) {
        options.body = JSON.stringify(body);
      }
    
      try {
        const response = await fetch(url, options);
    
        if (!response.ok) {
          const errorText = await response.text();
          throw new Error(`RunPod API Error: ${response.status} - ${errorText}`);
        }
    
        // Some endpoints might not return JSON
        const contentType = response.headers.get('content-type');
        if (contentType && contentType.includes('application/json')) {
          return await response.json();
        }
    
        return { success: true, status: response.status };
      } catch (error) {
        console.error('Error calling RunPod API:', error);
        throw error;
      }
    }
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.
