How to use
- 1
Start by clearly defining the tool's purpose in the "describe what the tool does" section to ensure the generated MCP tool definition aligns with its intended functionality.
- 2
Use the provided structure for tool metadata to create precise and informative entries, as this helps the agent make accurate decisions when calling the tool.
- 3
After completing the implementation section, double-check that all external API calls are properly wrapped in try/catch blocks to handle errors effectively and maintain robustness in your MCP definition.
