Implementation Reference

  • Core proxy handler that executes the logic for the 'get-toutiao-trending' tool (and others) by forwarding arguments to the remote API endpoint using the tool name as 'func'.
    const calcXiaoBenYangApi = async function (fullArgs: Record<string, any>) {
        // 发起 POST 请求
        let response = await fetch('https://mcp.xiaobenyang.com/api', {
            method: 'POST',
            headers: {
                'XBY-APIKEY': apiKey,
                'func': fullArgs.toolName,
                'mcpid': mcpID
            },
            body: new URLSearchParams(fullArgs)
        });
        const apiResult = await response.text();
    
        return {
            content: [
                {
                    type: "text",
                    text: apiResult // 将字符串结果放入 content 中
                }
            ]
        } as { [x: string]: unknown; content: [{ type: "text"; text: string }] };
    };
  • Wrapper handler passed to MCP server.registerTool for each dynamic tool, including 'get-toutiao-trending'. Prepares args with toolName and calls core proxy.
    const handleXiaoBenYangApi = async (args: Record<string, any>, toolName: string) => {
        // 校验aid是否存在
        if (toolName === undefined || toolName === null) {
            throw new Error("缺少必要参数 'aid'");
        }
        // 合并参数
        const fullArgs = {...args, toolName: toolName};
        // 调用API
        return calcXiaoBenYangApi(fullArgs);
    };
  • src/mcp.ts:50-65 (registration)
    Helper function that registers a single dynamic tool (called for 'get-toutiao-trending' etc.) with MCP server, providing schema, description, and handler.
    const addToolXiaoBenYangApi = function (
        name: string,
        desc: string,
        params: Record<string, ZodType>
    ) {
        server.registerTool(
            name,
            {
                title: name,
                description: desc,
                inputSchema: params,
            }
            ,
            async (args: Record<string, any>) => handleXiaoBenYangApi(args, name)
        )
    };
  • src/mcp.ts:88-132 (registration)
    Dynamic registration loop that fetches tool descriptions from remote API (https://mcp.xiaobenyang.com/getMcpDesc) and registers all tools, including 'get-toutiao-trending', with generated schemas and shared handler.
    const apiDescList = data.tools;
    
    for (const apiDesc of apiDescList) {
        let inputSchema = JSON.parse(apiDesc.inputSchema);
        const zodDict: Record<string, z.ZodTypeAny> = {};
    
        Object.entries(inputSchema.properties).forEach(([name, propConfig]) => {
            let zodType;
            let pt = (propConfig as { type: string }).type;
            switch (pt) {
                case 'string':
                    zodType = z.string();
                    break;
                case 'number':
                    zodType = z.number();
                    break;
                case 'boolean':
                    zodType = z.boolean();
                    break;
                case 'integer':
                    zodType = z.int32();
                    break;
                case 'array':
                    zodType = z.array(z.any());
                    break;
                case 'object':
                    zodType = z.object(z.any());
                    break;
                default:
                    zodType = z.any();
            }
    
            if (inputSchema.required?.includes(name)) {
                zodDict[name] = zodType;
            } else {
                zodDict[name] = zodType.optional();
            }
        });
    
    
        addToolXiaoBenYangApi(
            apiDesc.name,
            apiDesc.description ? apiDesc.description : apiDesc.name,
            zodDict);
    }
  • Dynamically generates Zod inputSchema for each tool (including 'get-toutiao-trending') based on parsed remote JSON schema description, handling various types and required/optional fields.
    let inputSchema = JSON.parse(apiDesc.inputSchema);
    const zodDict: Record<string, z.ZodTypeAny> = {};
    
    Object.entries(inputSchema.properties).forEach(([name, propConfig]) => {
        let zodType;
        let pt = (propConfig as { type: string }).type;
        switch (pt) {
            case 'string':
                zodType = z.string();
                break;
            case 'number':
                zodType = z.number();
                break;
            case 'boolean':
                zodType = z.boolean();
                break;
            case 'integer':
                zodType = z.int32();
                break;
            case 'array':
                zodType = z.array(z.any());
                break;
            case 'object':
                zodType = z.object(z.any());
                break;
            default:
                zodType = z.any();
        }
    
        if (inputSchema.required?.includes(name)) {
            zodDict[name] = zodType;
        } else {
            zodDict[name] = zodType.optional();
        }
    });
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden but only states what content is retrieved. It doesn't disclose behavioral traits like rate limits, authentication needs, freshness of data, pagination, or error handling. The description is functional but lacks operational context.

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 Chinese sentence that directly states the tool's function and content scope. It's front-loaded with the core purpose and adds useful detail about content domains without unnecessary elaboration.

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?

For a zero-parameter tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description adequately explains what the tool does but lacks completeness regarding behavioral context. It doesn't describe the return format, data structure, or any limitations, which would be helpful given the absence of structured metadata.

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

Parameters4/5

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

The tool has 0 parameters with 100% schema description coverage, so no parameter documentation is needed. The description appropriately doesn't discuss parameters, focusing on the tool's purpose instead. Baseline is 4 for zero-parameter tools.

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: '获取今日头条热榜' (get Toutiao trending list) with specific content domains listed (politics, social events, international news, tech, entertainment). It distinguishes from siblings by specifying the source (Toutiao) and content type (Chinese news), but doesn't explicitly contrast with similar tools like get-tencent-news-trending.

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?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives is provided. The description mentions content domains but doesn't specify use cases, prerequisites, or comparisons with sibling tools like get-weibo-trending or get-zhihu-trending for different Chinese platforms.

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