Implementation Reference

  • Registration of the 'sendHtmlMail' MCP tool. Includes Zod input schema and inline async handler that constructs MailInfo object and delegates to mailService.sendMail() for actual sending.
    this.server.tool(
      "sendHtmlMail",
      {
        to: z.string(),
        cc: z.string().optional(),
        bcc: z.string().optional(),
        subject: z.string(),
        html: z.string(),
        attachments: z.array(
          z.object({
            filename: z.string(),
            content: z.union([z.string(), z.instanceof(Buffer)]),
            contentType: z.string().optional()
          })
        ).optional()
      },
      async (params) => {
        try {
          const mailInfo: MailInfo = {
            to: params.to,
            subject: params.subject,
            html: params.html
          };
          
          if (params.cc) {
            mailInfo.cc = params.cc;
          }
          
          if (params.bcc) {
            mailInfo.bcc = params.bcc;
          }
          
          if (params.attachments) {
            mailInfo.attachments = params.attachments;
          }
          
          const result = await this.mailService.sendMail(mailInfo);
          
          if (result.success) {
            return {
              content: [
                { type: "text", text: `HTML邮件发送成功,消息ID: ${result.messageId}\n\n提示:如果需要等待对方回复,可以使用 waitForReply 工具。` }
              ]
            };
          } else {
            return {
              content: [
                { type: "text", text: `HTML邮件发送失败: ${result.error}` }
              ]
            };
          }
        } catch (error) {
          return {
            content: [
              { type: "text", text: `发送HTML邮件时发生错误: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}` }
            ]
          };
        }
      }
    );
  • The execution handler function for sendHtmlMail tool. Prepares email parameters, calls mailService.sendMail, and formats success/error text responses.
    async (params) => {
      try {
        const mailInfo: MailInfo = {
          to: params.to,
          subject: params.subject,
          html: params.html
        };
        
        if (params.cc) {
          mailInfo.cc = params.cc;
        }
        
        if (params.bcc) {
          mailInfo.bcc = params.bcc;
        }
        
        if (params.attachments) {
          mailInfo.attachments = params.attachments;
        }
        
        const result = await this.mailService.sendMail(mailInfo);
        
        if (result.success) {
          return {
            content: [
              { type: "text", text: `HTML邮件发送成功,消息ID: ${result.messageId}\n\n提示:如果需要等待对方回复,可以使用 waitForReply 工具。` }
            ]
          };
        } else {
          return {
            content: [
              { type: "text", text: `HTML邮件发送失败: ${result.error}` }
            ]
          };
        }
      } catch (error) {
        return {
          content: [
            { type: "text", text: `发送HTML邮件时发生错误: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}` }
          ]
        };
      }
    }
  • MailInfo TypeScript interface defining the structure for email parameters, used by sendHtmlMail handler and sendMail helper.
    export interface MailInfo {
      to: string | string[];
      cc?: string | string[];
      bcc?: string | string[];
      subject: string;
      text?: string;
      html?: string;
      attachments?: Array<{
        filename: string;
        content: string | Buffer;
        contentType?: string;
      }>;
    }
  • Core helper method sendMail in MailService class. Uses nodemailer Transporter to send the actual email with HTML support, returns success/messageId or error.
     * 发送邮件
     */
    async sendMail(mailInfo: MailInfo): Promise<{ success: boolean; messageId?: string; error?: string }> {
      try {
        const mailOptions = {
          from: {
            name: this.config.defaults.fromName,
            address: this.config.defaults.fromEmail,
          },
          to: mailInfo.to,
          cc: mailInfo.cc,
          bcc: mailInfo.bcc,
          subject: mailInfo.subject,
          text: mailInfo.text,
          html: mailInfo.html,
          attachments: mailInfo.attachments,
        };
    
        const info = await this.smtpTransporter.sendMail(mailOptions);
        return { success: true, messageId: info.messageId };
      } catch (error) {
        console.error('发送邮件错误:', error);
        return { success: false, error: error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(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.
