Implementation Reference

  • Handler function that calls the Binance API /api/v3/trades endpoint to retrieve recent trades for a given symbol, with optional limit, handles errors, and returns JSON-formatted response.
    async (args: { symbol: string; limit?: number }) => {
        try {
            const response = await axios.get(`${BASE_URL}/api/v3/trades`, {
                params: {
                    symbol: args.symbol,
                    limit: args.limit
                },
                proxy: getProxy(),
            });
            return {
                content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(response.data, null, 2) }]
            };
        } catch (error: any) {
            return {
                content: [{ type: "text", text: `Failed to get recent trades: ${error.message}` }],
                isError: true
            };
        }
    }
  • Zod schema defining input parameters for the get_recent_trades tool: symbol (required string) and limit (optional number).
    {
        symbol: z.string().describe("Trading pair symbol, e.g. BTCUSDT"),
        limit: z.number().optional().describe("Number of trades to return, default 500, max 1000")
    },
  • src/index.ts:42-67 (registration)
    Registration of the get_recent_trades tool using McpServer.tool method, including inline schema and handler.
    server.tool(
        "get_recent_trades",
        {
            symbol: z.string().describe("Trading pair symbol, e.g. BTCUSDT"),
            limit: z.number().optional().describe("Number of trades to return, default 500, max 1000")
        },
        async (args: { symbol: string; limit?: number }) => {
            try {
                const response = await axios.get(`${BASE_URL}/api/v3/trades`, {
                    params: {
                        symbol: args.symbol,
                        limit: args.limit
                    },
                    proxy: getProxy(),
                });
                return {
                    content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(response.data, null, 2) }]
                };
            } catch (error: any) {
                return {
                    content: [{ type: "text", text: `Failed to get recent trades: ${error.message}` }],
                    isError: true
                };
            }
        }
    );
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.
