Implementation Reference

  • The main handler function for fc_update_space tool. Extracts space_id and updateData from args, makes POST request to WordPress API endpoint fc-manager/v1/spaces/{space_id}, returns response or error.
    fc_update_space: async (args: any) => {
      try {
        const { space_id, ...updateData } = args;
        const response = await makeWordPressRequest('POST', `fc-manager/v1/spaces/${space_id}`, updateData);
        return { toolResult: { content: [{ type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(response, null, 2) }] } };
      } catch (error: any) {
        return { toolResult: { isError: true, content: [{ type: 'text', text: `Error: ${error.message}` }] } };
      }
    },
  • Zod schema defining the input shape for fc_update_space: requires space_id, optional title, description, privacy, status with descriptions.
    const updateSpaceSchema = z.object({
      space_id: z.number().describe('The ID of the space to update'),
      title: z.string().optional().describe('Space title'),
      description: z.string().optional().describe('Space description'),
      privacy: z.enum(['public', 'private']).optional().describe('Privacy setting'),
      status: z.enum(['active', 'inactive', 'archived']).optional().describe('Space status')
    });
  • Registration of fc_update_space tool in fluentCommunityTools array, specifying name, description, and inputSchema from updateSpaceSchema.
    {
      name: 'fc_update_space',
      description: 'Update an existing FluentCommunity space',
      inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: updateSpaceSchema.shape }
    },
  • Global registration: fluentCommunityTools (containing fc_update_space) spread into allTools array for MCP toolset.
    ...fluentCommunityTools,       // 21 tools (FluentCommunity spaces, posts, members)
  • Global handler registration: fluentCommunityHandlers (containing fc_update_space handler) spread into toolHandlers object.
    ...fluentCommunityHandlers,
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. 'Update an existing space' implies a mutation operation, but it doesn't disclose any behavioral traits such as required permissions, whether updates are partial or complete, error handling, or side effects. This leaves significant gaps for an agent to understand how to use it safely and effectively.

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?

The description is extremely concise with a single sentence 'Update an existing space', which is front-loaded and wastes no words. It efficiently communicates the core purpose without unnecessary elaboration, making it easy for an agent to parse quickly.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the complexity of a mutation tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It lacks information on behavioral aspects (e.g., permissions, side effects), usage context, and what the tool returns. While the schema covers parameters well, the overall context for safe and effective use is insufficient.

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

Parameters3/5

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

The description adds no parameter semantics beyond what the input schema provides. However, the schema description coverage is 100%, with clear descriptions for all parameters including enums for 'privacy' and 'status'. This meets the baseline score of 3, as the schema adequately documents the parameters without needing additional explanation in the description.

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 'Update an existing space' clearly states the action (update) and resource (space), which is specific and unambiguous. It distinguishes this from sibling tools like fc_create_space (create) and fc_get_space (read), though it doesn't explicitly mention what aspects can be updated beyond what's implied by the parameters.

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?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It doesn't mention prerequisites (e.g., needing an existing space ID), when not to use it (e.g., for creating new spaces), or how it differs from similar update tools like fc_update_post or fc_update_comment. Usage is implied but not explicitly stated.

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