Sinch MCP Server

Official
by sinch

sinch-mcp-configuration

Retrieve and analyze the configuration of the Sinch MCP server to identify enabled or disabled tools, along with troubleshooting details for disabled tools.

Instructions

This tool allows you to retrieve the configuration of the Sinch MCP server. It provides information about which tools are enabled and disabled with some troubleshooting information about why a tool would be disabled.

Implementation Reference

  • The handler function for the sinch-mcp-configuration tool. It generates a markdown table showing the status of all MCP tools (enabled with ✅ or disabled with ❌ and reason).
    export const mcpConfigurationHandler = (): IPromptResponse => {
      let result = 'Here is the status of the Sinch MCP server tools. They must be displayed as a array, the enabled tools first with the status ✅, the disabled tools after, with the description of why they are disabled.\n\n';
      result += '| Tool Name | Status | Description |\n';
      result += '|-----------|--------|-------------|\n';
      for (const tool of Object.keys(toolsStatusMap)) {
        const status = toolsStatusMap[tool];
        if (status === ENABLED) {
          result += `| ${tool} | ✅ | Enabled |\n`;
        } else {
          result += `| ${tool} | ❌ | ${status} |\n`;
        }
      }
      return new PromptResponse(result).promptResponse;
    }
  • Registers the sinch-mcp-configuration tool on the MCP server, marks it as ENABLED, provides a description, and links to the mcpConfigurationHandler.
    export const registerMcpConfiguration = (server: McpServer) => {
      toolsStatusMap[TOOL_NAME] = ENABLED;
      server.tool(
        TOOL_NAME,
        'This tool allows you to retrieve the configuration of the Sinch MCP server. It provides information about which tools are enabled and disabled with some troubleshooting information about why a tool would be disabled.',
        mcpConfigurationHandler
      );
    };
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses that the tool retrieves configuration and troubleshooting data, implying it's a read-only operation without side effects. However, it doesn't specify behavioral traits like rate limits, authentication needs, or response format, leaving gaps in transparency.

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 concise and front-loaded, stating the main purpose in the first sentence and adding useful details in the second. Both sentences earn their place by clarifying the tool's function and output, with no wasted words or unnecessary elaboration.

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 the tool's simplicity (0 parameters, no annotations, no output schema), the description is adequate but has gaps. It explains what the tool does and the type of information returned, but without an output schema, it doesn't detail the structure or format of the configuration data, which could hinder agent understanding.

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 the schema fully documents the lack of inputs. The description doesn't need to add parameter details, and it appropriately focuses on the tool's purpose without redundant information, meeting the baseline for no parameters.

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: 'retrieve the configuration of the Sinch MCP server' with specific details about what information is provided ('which tools are enabled and disabled with some troubleshooting information'). It distinguishes itself by focusing on server configuration rather than performing operations, though there are no sibling tools for comparison.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies usage context by mentioning 'troubleshooting information about why a tool would be disabled,' suggesting it should be used for diagnostic purposes. However, it lacks explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives or any prerequisites, as there are no sibling tools to compare against.

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