Implementation Reference

  • Core handler that proxies the tool call to the remote API endpoint. This executes the logic for 'get_municipality_barangays' and all other tools by sending POST to https://mcp.xiaobenyang.com/api with toolName='get_municipality_barangays'.
    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 }] };
    };
  • src/mcp.ts:90-132 (registration)
    Dynamic registration loop that fetches tool list from https://mcp.xiaobenyang.com/getMcpDesc and registers each tool, including 'get_municipality_barangays', with its schema and the shared handler.
    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);
    }
  • Dynamic schema construction from remote tool description, converting JSON schema types to Zod validators for inputSchema of each tool including 'get_municipality_barangays'.
    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();
        }
    });
  • Helper function to register a tool with the MCP server, using the generic handler. Called for each tool including 'get_municipality_barangays'.
    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)
        )
    };
  • Wrapper handler that prepares arguments by adding toolName and calls the core API 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);
    };
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It states it 'Get[s] all barangays' but doesn't disclose behavioral traits like whether this is a read-only operation, what format the results come in, whether there are rate limits, authentication requirements, or what happens with invalid municipality codes. For a tool with no annotation coverage, this is a significant gap.

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 states the core functionality without unnecessary words. It's appropriately sized for a simple lookup tool and front-loads the key information.

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 no annotations, 0% schema description coverage, no output schema, and many similar sibling tools, the description is incomplete. It doesn't address return format, error conditions, usage context relative to alternatives, or parameter details needed for effective use. For a tool in this complex sibling environment, more contextual information is required.

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?

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It mentions 'within a specific municipality' which implies the 'municipalityCode' parameter identifies the municipality, but doesn't explain the code format, validation, or examples. The description adds minimal semantic context beyond what's inferred from the parameter name.

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 verb 'Get' and the resource 'barangays within a specific municipality', making the purpose explicit. It distinguishes from siblings like 'get_barangay' (single barangay) and 'get_municipalities' (list of municipalities), but doesn't explicitly contrast with 'get_municipality' (single municipality) or 'get_province_barangays' (barangays at province level).

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 is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. With many sibling tools for retrieving barangays at different geographic levels (e.g., 'get_province_barangays', 'get_district_barangays', 'get_island_group_barangays'), the description lacks any context about when this municipality-level retrieval is appropriate versus other options.

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