Implementation Reference

  • The handler function that executes the logic for the 'create_label' tool by calling the LabelService.createLabel method.
    /**
     * Create a new label on a board
     * @param args - Tool arguments
     * @returns Promise resolving to the created label
     */
    create_label: async (args: any) => {
        const labelService = ServiceFactory.getInstance().getLabelService();
        return labelService.createLabel(args.boardId, args.name, args.color);
    },
  • The input schema, description, and name definition for the 'create_label' tool.
    {
        name: "create_label",
        description: "Create a new label on a board. Use this tool when you need to add a new label to a board for categorizing cards.",
        inputSchema: {
            type: "object",
            properties: {
                boardId: {
                    type: "string",
                    description: "ID of the board"
                },
                name: {
                    type: "string",
                    description: "Name of the label"
                },
                color: {
                    type: ["string", "null"],
                    enum: ["green", "yellow", "orange", "red", "purple", "blue", "sky", "lime", "pink", "black", null],
                    description: "Color of the label, or null for no color"
                }
            },
            required: ["boardId", "name", "color"]
        }
    },
  • src/index.ts:97-101 (registration)
    Registers the complete list of tools (including 'create_label') with the MCP server for the ListToolsRequest.
    server.setRequestHandler(ListToolsRequestSchema, async () => {
        return {
            tools: trelloTools
        };
    });
  • src/index.ts:128-140 (registration)
    Registers the tool call handler that dispatches to the specific tool handler (including 'create_label') based on tool name.
    // Use type assertion to tell TypeScript that toolName is a valid key
    const handler = trelloToolHandlers[toolName as keyof typeof trelloToolHandlers];
    
    if (!handler) {
        throw new McpError(
            ErrorCode.MethodNotFound,
            `Unknown tool: ${toolName}`
        );
    }
    
    // Execute the tool handler with the provided arguments
    const result = await handler(request.params.arguments);
  • Imports the labelToolHandlers (including 'create_label' handler) into the aggregated trelloToolHandlers used by the MCP server.
    import { labelToolHandlers } from './label-tool-handlers.js';
    import { checklistToolHandlers } from './checklist-tool-handlers.js';
    
    /**
     * All Trello tool handlers combined into a single object
     */
    export const trelloToolHandlers = {
        ...boardToolHandlers,
        ...listToolHandlers,
        ...cardToolHandlers,
        ...memberToolHandlers,
        ...labelToolHandlers,
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.
