Implementation Reference

  • Input schema definition for the generate_eod_report tool, specifying an optional date parameter for the report.
      name: 'generate_eod_report',
      description: 'Generate end-of-day report with sales summary, cash reconciliation needs, and action items.',
      inputSchema: {
        type: 'object',
        properties: {
          date: { type: 'string', description: 'Date in YYYY-MM-DD format (default: today)' },
        },
      },
    },
  • The core handler function for generate_eod_report that constructs the EOD report using sales data, low stock inventory, and appointments from the mock storeData.
    case 'generate_eod_report': {
      const date = String(args?.date || '2025-10-03');
      const salesData = storeData.sales.find(s => s.date === date);
      const lowStock = storeData.inventory.filter(i => i.quantity <= i.reorderLevel);
      const appointments = storeData.appointments.filter(a => a.date === date);
      
      return {
        content: [{
          type: 'text',
          text: `📋 End of Day Report - ${date}\n\n💰 SALES SUMMARY:\n- Revenue: $${salesData?.revenue.toFixed(2) || '0.00'}\n- Transactions: ${salesData?.transactions || 0}\n- Avg Transaction: $${salesData ? (salesData.revenue / salesData.transactions).toFixed(2) : '0.00'}\n\n⚠️ ACTION ITEMS:\n- ${lowStock.length} items need reordering\n- ${appointments.length} appointments completed\n\n📊 KEY METRICS:\n- Top Seller: ${salesData?.topItem || 'N/A'}\n- Inventory Alerts: ${lowStock.length}\n\n✅ CLOSING TASKS:\n□ Count cash drawer\n□ Review low stock report\n□ Confirm tomorrow's appointments\n□ Lock up and set alarm`
        }]
      };
    }
  • src/index.ts:516-518 (registration)
    Registers the list of all available tools, including generate_eod_report, for the MCP server's ListToolsRequestSchema.
    server.setRequestHandler(ListToolsRequestSchema, async () => {
      return { tools };
    });
  • src/dashboard.ts:68-68 (registration)
    Lists the generate_eod_report tool in the dashboard's mock tools data for UI display.
    { name: 'generate_eod_report', description: 'End of day report', category: 'Reporting' },
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It mentions the report includes 'sales summary, cash reconciliation needs, and action items,' which gives some output context, but doesn't cover critical aspects like whether this is a read-only operation, if it requires specific permissions, or how it handles errors. For a tool with no annotations, this is insufficient.

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 a single, efficient sentence that front-loads the core purpose without unnecessary words. Every part ('generate end-of-day report' and the listed components) contributes directly to understanding the tool's function, making it highly concise and well-structured.

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 lack of annotations and output schema, the description is incomplete. It hints at output components but doesn't detail format, structure, or behavioral traits like side effects or error handling. For a report-generation tool with no structured support, more context is needed to guide the agent effectively.

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 input schema has 1 parameter with 100% description coverage, documenting the 'date' field format and default. The description adds no parameter-specific information beyond implying a date context, so it doesn't compensate but doesn't detract either. Baseline 3 is appropriate as the schema handles the parameter documentation adequately.

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 clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Generate end-of-day report with sales summary, cash reconciliation needs, and action items.' It specifies the verb ('generate') and resource ('end-of-day report') with concrete components. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from siblings like 'get_daily_sales' or 'get_sales_report', which might have overlapping functions.

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, timing (e.g., at end of business day), or how it differs from sibling tools such as 'get_daily_sales' or 'get_sales_report', leaving the agent to infer usage context.

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