Implementation Reference

  • The createListProceduresHandler function defining the tool's name, description, input schema, and asynchronous handler logic. It fetches procedures via api.getProceduresList(), formats them using formatters.procedureList, and returns formatted text content or error message.
    export function createListProceduresHandler(api: ERegulationsApi): ToolHandler {
      return {
        name: ToolName.LIST_PROCEDURES,
        description: `List all available procedures in the eRegulations system.`,
        inputSchema: zodToJsonSchema(ListProceduresSchema),
        inputSchemaDefinition: ListProceduresSchema,
        handler: async (args: any) => {
          try {
            // Use the inferred type for args
            // const { max_items, max_length } = args as ListProceduresArgs; // Removed
    
            logger.log(`Handling LIST_PROCEDURES request`);
            // Removed logging for max_items, max_length
    
            const procedures = await api.getProceduresList();
    
            // Use the dedicated formatter, always requesting text only
            const formattedResult = formatters.procedureList.format(
              procedures,
              false
              // Removed max_items, max_length
            );
    
            logger.log(`LIST_PROCEDURES returning ${procedures.length} procedures`);
    
            // Always return only text content
            return {
              content: [
                {
                  type: "text",
                  text: formattedResult.text,
                },
              ],
            };
          } catch (error) {
            logger.error(`Error in LIST_PROCEDURES handler:`, error);
            return {
              content: [
                {
                  type: "text",
                  text: `Error retrieving procedures: ${
                    error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)
                  }`,
                },
              ],
            };
          }
        },
      };
    }
  • Zod schema definition for the listProcedures tool input (empty object, no parameters).
    export const ListProceduresSchema = z.object({
      // Remove max_items and max_length
    });
  • Tool handlers factory function that registers (creates) the listProcedures handler along with others, to be used in MCP server.
    export function createHandlers(api: ERegulationsApi): ToolHandler[] {
      return [
        createListProceduresHandler(api),
        createGetProcedureDetailsHandler(api),
        createGetProcedureStepHandler(api),
        createSearchProceduresHandler(api),
      ];
    }
  • Top-level MCP server registration loop that calls server.tool() for each handler, including listProcedures, using its name, schema shape, and handler function.
    const handlers = createHandlers(api);
    
    // Add the example 'add' tool for testing - REMOVED
    /*
    server.tool(
      "add",
      { a: z.number(), b: z.number() },
      async ({ a, b }) => {
        logger.info(`Handling tool call: add(${a}, ${b})`);
        return {
          // Ensure response matches MCP ToolResult structure
          content: [{ type: "text", text: String(a + b) }],
        };
      }
    );
    */
    
    // Register eRegulations tools
    handlers.forEach((handler) => {
      const schemaDef = handler.inputSchemaDefinition;
      // Check if it's an instance of ZodObject
      if (schemaDef instanceof z.ZodObject) {
        // Now TypeScript knows schemaDef is a ZodObject and has .shape
        // Cast handler to 'any' to bypass strict type checking
        server.tool(handler.name, schemaDef.shape, handler.handler as any);
        logger.info(`Registered tool '${handler.name}' with McpServer`);
      } else {
        // Handle non-object schemas or log warning
        logger.warn(
          `Could not register tool '${handler.name}': Schema is not a ZodObject.`
        );
      }
    });
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.
