Implementation Reference

  • The actual implementation of the browse_wishes query logic.
    function browseWishes({ category, sort = 'newest', limit = 20, offset = 0 } = {}) {
      const db = getDb();
      const params = [];
      let sql = 'SELECT * FROM wishes WHERE 1=1';
    
      if (category) {
        sql += ' AND category = ?';
        params.push(category);
      }
    
      const sortMap = {
        newest: 'created_at DESC',
        most_granted: 'grant_count DESC',
        oldest: 'created_at ASC',
      };
      sql += ` ORDER BY ${sortMap[sort] || sortMap.newest} LIMIT ? OFFSET ?`;
      params.push(Math.min(limit, 100), offset);
    
      return db.prepare(sql).all(...params);
    }
  • The MCP tool registration and handler wrapper for browse_wishes.
    server.tool(
      'browse_wishes',
      'Browse wishes from the Wishing Well. Discover what capabilities AI agents want.',
      {
        category: z.string().optional().describe('Filter by wish category'),
        sort: z.enum(['newest', 'most_granted', 'oldest']).optional().default('newest'),
        limit: z.number().int().min(1).max(100).optional().default(10),
      },
      async ({ category, sort, limit }) => {
        const wishes = queries.browseWishes({ category, sort, limit: limit || 10 });
        return {
          content: [{ type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify({ wishes, count: wishes.length }, null, 2) }],
        };
      }
    );
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must carry full behavioral disclosure. While 'Browse' implies read-only access, the description omits pagination behavior, response format, rate limits, or whether results are real-time versus cached. No mention of what 'most_granted' sorting implies about the data model.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two efficient sentences with zero redundancy. First sentence establishes function and resource; second sentence adds domain context. Every word earns its place with no filler.

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?

Provides adequate domain context (Wishing Well, AI capabilities) but leaves significant gaps given no output schema and low parameter documentation. Does not explain what constitutes a wish object or return structure, though this is somewhat mitigated by the intuitive 'browse' pattern.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is only 33% (category described; sort and limit lack descriptions). The description fails to compensate by not mentioning parameters at all—no explanation of valid category values, the semantics of 'most_granted' sorting, or recommended limit ranges for different use cases.

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?

Uses specific verb 'Browse' with resource 'wishes' and identifies the domain 'Wishing Well'. The second sentence clarifies that wishes represent 'capabilities AI agents want', distinguishing it from sibling tools like browse_agents. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate when to use this versus other discovery tools.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

Provides no guidance on when to invoke this tool versus alternatives like browse_agents or search_agents. No mention of prerequisites, query patterns, or filtering strategies for the category parameter.

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