Architecture Highlights

Tool Composition

Tools are designed to work together through well-defined interfaces:

// Example: Creating a private app with validation and tagging
1. validateName() -> Check app name compliance
2. searchPublishers() -> Find target publisher
3. createPrivateApp() -> Create the application  
4. createPrivateAppTags() -> Add organizational tags
5. updatePublisherAssociation() -> Associate with publishers

Schema-Driven Validation

Every tool uses Zod schemas for type safety and validation:

const createAppSchema = z.object({
  app_name: z.string().min(1).max(64),
  host: z.string().url(),
  protocols: z.array(protocolSchema),
  clientless_access: z.boolean()
});

Error Resilience

Built-in patterns for handling common issues:

  • Automatic parameter extraction from MCP objects
  • Retry logic with exponential backoff
  • Graceful degradation for partial failures
