WeChat DevTools MCP Server (v0.9.15)

PyPI version MCP Registry License: MIT English

Wraps the WeChat DevTools CLI as an MCP (Model Context Protocol) service, allowing AI in editors to directly invoke WeChat CLI commands, enabling a closed loop for mini program development, testing, debugging, and automation.

[!IMPORTANT] This project adopts a "thin MCP + fat Skill" architecture: the MCP Server provides 7 aggregated APIs, and the accompanying wechat-devtools Skill provides SOP workflows, parameter quick references, and best practices. Both must be used together — without the Skill, the AI will not be able to operate mini programs following the correct workflow.

Published to the official MCP Registry, with one-click installation across platforms (Windows / macOS).

🚀 Installation and Quick Start

Step 1 — Install the MCP Server

uv is recommended, as it automatically handles Python dependencies and provides an isolated execution environment.

pip install uv                                  # 安装 uv(如已安装可跳过)
uv tool install wechat-devtools-mcp --force     # 一键安装到全局隔离环境

[!WARNING] If you previously installed an older version via pip install, uninstall it first to avoid version conflicts:

pip uninstall wechat-devtools-mcp

The pip install path (e.g. Python313/Scripts/) may take precedence over the uv tool install path (~/.local/bin/), causing the old version to actually run. You can confirm the current version via the mcp_version field returned by wechat_ide(action='status').

[!WARNING] Version compatibility: ≥0.9.11 supports both mcp 1.x and 2.x (dependency declared as mcp[cli]>=1.9,<3). ≤0.9.10 is incompatible with mcp ≥2.0 (fresh installs will report ModuleNotFoundError: mcp.server.fastmcp, see #9) — pinned users should upgrade to ≥0.9.11, or append --with "mcp<2" when installing.

[!TIP]

  • Check the actually running version (≥0.9.13):

    wechat-devtools-mcp --version    # 零依赖打印实际安装版本;uvx 复用已装环境不自拉最新,此命令可直接确认
    uv tool list | grep wechat       # 离线确认已安装版本
  • Upgrading the tool: if the editor is running the MCP service, terminate the process before upgrading:

    # Bash / CMD
    taskkill /F /IM "wechat-devtools-mcp*" 2>/dev/null; uv tool upgrade wechat-devtools-mcp
    # Windows PowerShell
    Get-Process | Where-Object { $_.ProcessName -like "*wechat-devtools*" } | Stop-Process -Force
    uv tool upgrade wechat-devtools-mcp
  • One-click upgrade via Agent:

    taskkill /F /IM "wechat-devtools-mcp*" 2>/dev/null; uv tool upgrade wechat-devtools-mcp && npx -y skills add WaterTian/wechat-devtools-mcp/.agents/skills/wechat-devtools

Step 2 — Enable the DevTools Service Port

[!WARNING] This must be enabled manually, otherwise the AI will not be able to send any commands.

Path: DevToolsSettingsSecurity SettingsService PortEnable

💡 You can verify whether the port is enabled via wechat_ide(action='status') — if it returns a connection failure, the service port has not been enabled yet.

Step 3 — Confirm Required Paths

Obtain the following two absolute paths in advance; you will need to fill them into the editor configuration later:

Path

Windows example

macOS example

WeChat DevTools CLI

C:\Program Files (x86)\Tencent\微信web开发者工具\cli.bat

/Applications/wechatwebdevtools.app/Contents/MacOS/cli

Mini program project root

D:\MyProjects\mini-app

/Users/<you>/Projects/mini-app

macOS users: no need to escape slashes (/) in JSON config; Windows users must write \ as \\.

Step 4 — Editor Configuration

Modify claude_desktop_config.json or mcp_config.json (Antigravity):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wechat-devtools": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["wechat-devtools-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "WECHAT_DEVTOOLS_CLI": "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Tencent\\微信web开发者工具\\cli.bat",
        "WECHAT_PROJECT_PATH": "D:\\Your\\Project\\Path"
      }
    }
  }
}

Edit ~/.kiro/settings/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wechat-devtools": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["wechat-devtools-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "WECHAT_DEVTOOLS_CLI": "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Tencent\\微信web开发者工具\\cli.bat",
        "WECHAT_PROJECT_PATH": "D:\\Your\\Project\\Path",
        "PYTHONIOENCODING": "utf-8"
      },
      "autoApprove": [
        "wechat_ide", "wechat_build", "wechat_automator", "wechat_inspector",
        "wechat_screenshot", "wechat_navigate", "wechat_file"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Edit ~/.codex/config.toml (global) or .codex/config.toml (project-level):

[mcp_servers.wechat-devtools]
command = "uvx"
args = ["wechat-devtools-mcp"]

[mcp_servers.wechat-devtools.env]
WECHAT_DEVTOOLS_CLI = "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Tencent\\微信web开发者工具\\cli.bat"
WECHAT_PROJECT_PATH = "D:\\Your\\Project\\Path"

You can also add it quickly via CLI:

codex mcp add wechat-devtools \
  --env WECHAT_DEVTOOLS_CLI="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Tencent\\微信web开发者工具\\cli.bat" \
  --env WECHAT_PROJECT_PATH="D:\\Your\\Project\\Path" \
  -- uvx wechat-devtools-mcp

Add a new Server in the MCP console:

  • Name: wechat-devtools

  • Type: command

  • Command: uvx wechat-devtools-mcp

  • Environment Variables: add WECHAT_DEVTOOLS_CLI and WECHAT_PROJECT_PATH as above

On Windows, backslashes in paths need to be escaped (\\).

If you use Claude Code to develop inside a mini program repository, you can create a project-level .mcp.json (automatically follows the repository and applies to collaborators).

Windows.mcp.json at the repository root:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wechat-devtools": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["wechat-devtools-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "WECHAT_DEVTOOLS_CLI": "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Tencent\\微信web开发者工具\\cli.bat",
        "WECHAT_PROJECT_PATH": "D:\\Your\\Project\\Path"
      }
    }
  }
}

macOS.mcp.json at the repository root:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wechat-devtools": {
      "command": "/opt/homebrew/bin/uvx",
      "args": ["wechat-devtools-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "PATH": "/opt/homebrew/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin",
        "WECHAT_DEVTOOLS_CLI": "/Applications/wechatwebdevtools.app/Contents/MacOS/cli",
        "WECHAT_PROJECT_PATH": "/Users/<you>/WeChatProjects/<project>",
        "NODE_PATH": "/opt/homebrew/bin/node"
      }
    }
  }
}

Three key differences on macOS:

  • command must use the absolute path /opt/homebrew/bin/uvx (Claude Code's PATH does not include Homebrew when spawning child processes)

  • env.PATH must be explicitly injected (especially needed when also configuring npx-based MCPs such as cloudbase / chrome-devtools, otherwise npx's #!/usr/bin/env node cannot find Node)

  • NODE_PATH is recommended to be explicitly specified as a fallback when starting as a daemon

When configuring multiple MCPs at once (cloudbase / chrome-devtools, etc.), handle the command absolute path and env.PATH for each server in the same pattern.

Trae v1.3.0+ supports MCP. AI panel → Settings icon in the top right → MCP → Add → Manual configuration, paste the JSON below and save.

Windows:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wechat-devtools": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["wechat-devtools-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "WECHAT_DEVTOOLS_CLI": "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Tencent\\微信web开发者工具\\cli.bat",
        "WECHAT_PROJECT_PATH": "D:\\Your\\Project\\Path"
      }
    }
  }
}

macOS:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wechat-devtools": {
      "command": "/opt/homebrew/bin/uvx",
      "args": ["wechat-devtools-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "PATH": "/opt/homebrew/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin",
        "WECHAT_DEVTOOLS_CLI": "/Applications/wechatwebdevtools.app/Contents/MacOS/cli",
        "WECHAT_PROJECT_PATH": "/Users/<you>/WeChatProjects/<project>",
        "NODE_PATH": "/opt/homebrew/bin/node"
      }
    }
  }
}

You can also edit the config file directly:

  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Trae\User\globalStorage\mcp.json

  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Trae/User/globalStorage/mcp.json

[!IMPORTANT] You must select the 「Builder with MCP」 agent in the chat box; regular agents do not call MCP tools. It is also recommended to install the wechat-devtools Skill (Step 5) so the AI calls tools in SOP order.

Step 5 — Install the Skill (Required)

[!IMPORTANT] This MCP must be used together with the wechat-devtools Skill. The Skill contains all the SOP workflows, parameter quick references, and troubleshooting guides the AI needs to operate mini programs. Without the Skill installed, the AI can only call bare APIs and cannot automatically execute standardized testing and debugging workflows.

Option 1: npx skills add (Claude Code users)

npx -y skills add WaterTian/wechat-devtools-mcp/.agents/skills/wechat-devtools

This pulls it into ~/.claude/skills/, and Claude Code loads it automatically.

Option 2: Manually place it in .agents/skills/ (clients that load from .agents/skills/, such as Trae)

Run this in the mini program project root:

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/WaterTian/wechat-devtools-mcp.git .wdm-tmp
mkdir -p .agents/skills
cp -r .wdm-tmp/.agents/skills/wechat-devtools .agents/skills/
rm -rf .wdm-tmp

The resulting directory structure:

your-project/
└── .agents/skills/
    └── wechat-devtools/
        ├── SKILL.md                # 主指令文件(SOP + 能力映射 + 红线规则)
        └── references/
            └── tool_reference.md   # 7 个聚合 API 完整参数参考

[!TIP] Trae users: make sure the Settings → Skills & Commands → Enable .agents skills directory toggle is on (on by default). After saving, refresh and you will see wechat-devtools under the "Skills → Project" tab.

❓ FAQ

Most common cause: the WeChat DevTools "Service Port" is not enabled. Go to SettingsSecurityService Port and turn it on. Once enabled, the AI can reconnect without restarting the IDE.

If you opened DevTools manually, it may not be listening on the debug port. Close DevTools and let the AI run wechat_ide(action='open', cdp_enabled=True) to start it in debug mode.

The MCP service in the editor is still running. See the upgrade note under Step 1 — you need to terminate the process before upgrading.

An older version installed via pip install may take precedence. Run pip uninstall wechat-devtools-mcp to remove the old version, then confirm the mcp_version field is the latest via wechat_ide(action='status').

Make sure WECHAT_DEVTOOLS_CLI in the editor configuration's env is set to an absolute path:

  • Windows: use double backslashes (e.g. C:\\...\\cli.bat)

  • macOS: standard path /Applications/wechatwebdevtools.app/Contents/MacOS/cli, no need to escape slashes

When GUI clients (such as Claude Desktop) start MCP, PATH may not include /opt/homebrew/bin. Since MCP v0.9.6, the Homebrew standard path is attempted automatically; if it still fails, set it explicitly in env:

"NODE_PATH": "/opt/homebrew/bin/node"

📋 Version History

Version

Description

0.9.15

Adapt to DevTools 2.x (Electron) + fix long-standing CDP collection failure: DevTools 2.x switched to Electron (1.06.x Stable still uses NW.js, dual-track compatible, no replacement). macOS startup path auto-detects runtime based on presence of Resources/package.nw, reads CFBundleExecutable from Info.plist for the entry point, and kill mode uses the .app bundle path — the old mode couldn't match Electron processes, making wechat_ide(action='open') with default parameters completely unusable on macOS; 2.x no longer recognizes the --project command-line flag, instead it starts the process with CDP first, then opens the project via CLI, and waits for both the CDP and IDE service ports to be ready before continuing (otherwise CLI would spawn another instance without CDP, resulting in a false success where "the project is open but CDP can't connect"). Fix wechat_inspector(action='cdp') always returning 0 results since v0.9.0 — the daemon puts results in data, but the inspector reads the non-existent logs, so the most commonly used debugging tool silently failed for 8 minor versions. daemon stream limit raised from asyncio default 64 KiB to 16 MiB (measured 634 KiB in 6 seconds of collection under 2.x; exceeding the limit silently discards all results). CDP noise filtering adapted to 2.x target structure, removing the new IDE shell pages and devtools:// that slipped through due to type=webview (measured 734 items → 206 items). IDE port detection changed to read the .ide file written by the IDE (hardcoded candidate ports can't be guessed at all under 2.x); status adds service_port_enabled (the #1 cause of CLI_TIMEOUT, now self-diagnosable) and ide_port; wechat_ide / wechat_build add cdp_port parameter (9222 is often occupied by Chrome)

0.9.14

File read path fix + parameter invalidation fix: wechat_file's read_page/read_file changed to use the same resolution as list_pages (first resolve via miniprogramRoot in project.config.json, then fall back to project root) — previously in cloud development projects, feeding pages/xxx/index returned by list_pages to read_page would always report "page file not found", affecting the first step of SOP G; when a file with the same name exists under both roots, also_found_at is added to report it truthfully; project.config.json always takes the authoritative copy at the project root; read_page returns resolved_base, read_file returns resolved_path. wechat_inspector(action='cdp') adds cdp_port passthrough (previously this parameter was a no-op, always connecting to 9222). subprocess.CREATE_NO_WINDOW all switched to getattr fallback, eliminating the AttributeError risk on non-Windows platforms

0.9.13

--version early exit + documentation verification fix: wechat-devtools-mcp --version / -V prints the installed version with zero dependencies and exits directly (uvx reuses the installed environment and doesn't pull the latest; one command confirms the actual version); documentation fixes: navigate parameter table 5-column misalignment, 设置 -> 安全设置 menu name, mcp_version example de-versioned; added documentation for wechat_ide result_output and wechat_navigate timeout (not documented since v0.6.0); SKILL.md Step 1 adds a skill/MCP version consistency self-check line

0.9.12

Handshake response package version + dependency upper bound: Under mcp 2.x, initialize's serverInfo.version changed from empty string to this package's version (under 1.x it still reports the SDK version; the SDK has no parameter to override); dependency upper bound added: mcp[cli]>=1.9,<3 to prevent future major mcp versions from breaking things; dual-version imports unified into _compat.py (#9 #10)

0.9.11

Compatible with mcp 2.0.0: Official MCP Python SDK 2.0 (released 2026-07-28) removed mcp.server.fastmcp (renamed to MCPServer), causing newly installed users to crash on startup; all imports changed to be compatible with both 1.x/2.x; dependency explicitly set to mcp[cli]>=1.9 (#8)

0.9.10

Fix page_path silent failure: screenshot.js verifies page path match after navigation; returns explicit error when /index suffix is missing or page doesn't exist, instead of silently capturing the old page; node_bridge.py fixes daemon handler error message loss (#5)

0.9.9

Fix screenshot causing mini-program restart: screenshot.js changes navigation for non-TabBar pages from reLaunch (destroys entire page stack) to navigateTo (non-destructive push), fixing the simulator reset issue after screenshot on macOS (#4)

0.9.8

Fix automator connection stability: daemon.js currentPage() health check changed to polling retry (5 times × 3s+1.5s for new connections), no longer discarding established WebSocket connections due to slow page loading; _action_start switched to _run_cli to synchronously detect CLI return code, immediately aware of CLI failure (#3)

0.9.7

Fix daemon orphan process residue: daemon.js adds parent process watchdog, checks liveness every 5 seconds with process.kill(ppid, 0), automatically cleans up WS connections and exits after parent process is killed (#2)

0.9.6

macOS adaptation: cdp_enabled=true mode cross-platform startup (NW.js main program wechatdevtools + package.nw entry + pkill cleanup); default CLI path returned per platform; Node.js detection adds Homebrew/nvm candidate paths; README adds macOS path examples

0.9.5

Fix latent bug where compile health check permanently failed (ui_debug.js has no page_stack action; automator_verified has been falsely reporting false since v0.9.0); compile downgrades fatal patterns like EACCES/EADDRINUSE/#initialize-error to fail, preventing "false success publishing old bundle"; preview auto-resolves relative paths + mtime freshness detection; wechat_automator(action='start') upgraded to TCP+WS dual verification + retry_after_ms precise waiting; compile detects outdated miniprogram_npm and issues warning; inspector issues warning when catching exceptions with short duration; wechat_cloud tool disabled (use CloudBase MCP instead)

0.9.4

Fix switchTab navigation not taking effect (switched to miniProgram.switchTab() instead of callWxMethod); post-compile reconnection stability (remove redundant processes + 3s delay + WS health check); README 5 agent-friendliness improvements

Version

Description

0.9.3

status adds mcp_version field for version confirmation; prints version number to stderr on startup; README adds pip/uv version conflict troubleshooting guide

0.9.2

Fix navigate timeout after compile: daemon connection health check adds 3s timeout protection; automatically invalidates old cached connections and reconnects after compile; navigate currentPage polling adds 2s independent timeout per call; distinguishes HEALTH_CHECK_TIMEOUT and CONNECTION_ERROR error codes

0.9.1

Fix AttributeError crash when cdp_enabled=true; add WXML runtime error collection (CDP automatically captures warnings such as template not found after compile)

0.9.0

Persistent Node daemon architecture: single daemon process stays resident, NDJSON protocol communication, WS connections reused by port; single daemon.bundle.js replaces 8 independent bundles; tool call latency reduced from 500ms+ to ~3ms; daemon automatically rebuilds connections after compile with zero disconnects

0.8.0

Automatically reconnect automator after compile; navigate automatically detects TabBar pages and uses switchTab; screenshot adds full_page/scroll_top/page_path parameters and viewport screenshot mode; page_data adds expected_path polling to prevent stale data; long image stitching dynamic step size fixes content gaps; node_bridge unified connection disconnect retry + 500ms call interval; start port verification increased to 20 times

0.7.0

navigate variable scope fix (currentPageTimeout); evaluate supports declaration statements (const/let/var fallback); call_method returns current page path; automator start port polling verification replaces blind waiting; SKILL.md adds efficiency principles, recovery levels, page navigation methods, 6 troubleshooting entries

C2.8/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

注解均为中性false值,未提供安全画像,描述需要承担完整的副作用披露责任。描述补充了返回JSON结构,但未说明tap/input/set_data等操作可能产生的状态变更、是否需要先执行start,或是否存在权限/运行环境要求,透明性不足。

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?

描述结构紧凑、信息密度高:先总述功能,再以冒号分隔列出动作清单,最后给出返回格式,没有冗余或无效信息,且关键的总述放在最前。

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?

该工具包含13种action和多个依赖参数,动作间存在耦合关系(如start需要project_path,tap需要selector),而描述只是动作清单,没有阐述各动作的使用场景、先决条件或副作用。即使schema提供了部分属性描述,整体描述对一个高复杂度多动作工具仍然不够完整。

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

Parameters2/5

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

顶层params参数在schema中无描述,覆盖率为0%;描述没有对params结构或任何属性进行补充说明,仅用括号标注了action的中文含义,无法补偿参数语义空白。描述没有帮助代理理解如何为不同的action组合正确的参数。

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?

描述以具体动词短语'小程序自动化交互与运行时查询'明确工具功能,并列出13种支持的动作及返回格式,使代理能识别这是用于微信小程序自动化交互与运行时查询的工具。但未明确与兄弟工具进行对比,因此不足以达到5分。

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?

描述仅列举了支持的动作,没有说明何时应使用该工具而不使用兄弟工具(如 wechat_inspector、wechat_screenshot),也没有提到使用条件或动作之间的先后顺序,缺少任何关于如何选择本工具的指导。

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

wechat_buildA
Idempotent

构建、预览、上传小程序及 npm 管理。 支持 action: compile(编译检查), preview(预览), upload(上传), build_npm(构建NPM), cache_clean(清缓存)。 返回 JSON: {success, data, message, error_code?}。

A3.5/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations provide idempotentHint=true but no readOnlyHint or destructiveHint. The description states it returns a JSON structure, which adds behavioral context, and mentions that 'upload' requires 'version' (parameter semantics). However, the description does not disclose side effects, such as whether upload publishes to production, whether cache_clean is destructive, or authentication requirements. The idempotentHint is somewhat contradicted by non-idempotent actions like upload, though the description does not explicitly contradict the annotation.

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 compact, front-loaded with the core purpose and action list, and ends with the return format. No wasted words; fits within a few lines.

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 tool with a rich action enum and many parameters, the description covers the main actions and the return structure, but does not elaborate on prerequisites, side effects, or error handling. With 11 parameters and 5 actions, the description leaves about half the behavioral context to the schema and annotations. Adequate but with clear gaps.

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%, but the parameter descriptions in the schema are quite detailed (e.g., role of cdp_port, clean_type, version for upload). The tool description adds the grouping of actions and the JSON return shape, but most parameter explanations come from the schema itself, not the description. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 action is a build/preview/upload tool for WeChat mini-programs and lists the specific actions it supports. It distinguishes itself from siblings by covering build-related operations, though it doesn't explicitly compare to sibling tools.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies usage contexts (build operations, npm management) but does not provide explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance. It lacks alternatives or exclusions, though the action enum provides some guidance on what each action does.

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

A3.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already disclose readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false. The description adds the JSON return structure ({success, data, message, error_code?}) and enumerates the supported actions, which gives further behavioral clarity. No contradiction with annotations exists, and the description complements the safety profile without duplicating it.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single paragraph that front-loads the purpose, lists the actions, and states the return format. Every sentence contributes value, and there is no filler. It is concise and well-structured, though slightly compact for the amount of information.

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?

With an output schema present, the description need not detail return fields extensively, and it does provide the top-level JSON shape. However, it does not explain parameter relationships or optionality (e.g., which paths are required for which actions), which an agent would need to call the tool correctly. Given the tool's multi-action nature and optional parameters, this is a noticeable gap, though not critical for a read-only tool.

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

Parameters2/5

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

The description explains the meaning of the 'action' enum values (project_info, list_pages, read_page, read_file) but does not clarify the roles of 'file_path', 'page_path', or 'project_path', nor the dependencies (e.g., read_page requires page_path). The schema provides descriptions for each field, but the context signal indicates 0% description coverage, meaning the tool description does not substitute for that. The description only partially compensates for the low coverage.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool reads WeChat mini program project files and structure, and lists four distinct actions (project_info, list_pages, read_page, read_file). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like wechat_navigate or wechat_screenshot, which have different purposes. The verb '读取' and resource '小程序项目文件' make the purpose explicit and unmistakeable.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives, but the available actions imply its scope (reading project files). It does not mention exclusions or conditions that would steer an agent to a sibling tool. Context is clear but there is no comparative guidance, so it remains adequate rather than optimal.

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

B3.3/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already provide idempotentHint=true and destructiveHint=false, and the description does not contradict them. The description adds a return envelope format ({success, data, message, error_code?}) and action semantics, but it does not disclose side effects such as launching a GUI application, blocking on QR code scanning, or requiring the IDE to be installed/running. With annotations covering safety, a 3 is appropriate.

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 exactly two sentences: the first states the overall purpose, the second lists actions and the return format. There is no filler, repetition, or unnecessary detail. The structure is front-loaded and every sentence earns its place.

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?

This is a multi-action tool with 10 parameters, and the description does not map parameters to specific actions (e.g., open requires project_path, login uses qr_format/result_output). It also omits prerequisites and likely failure modes. The one-line JSON envelope covers the output shape, but for a lifecycle manager of this complexity, the description is incomplete.

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

Parameters2/5

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

The tool description only adds semantic meaning to the action enum by explaining what each action does. It says nothing about project_path, port, qr_format, qr_output, cdp_port, or result_output, which are all documented in the schema but not compensated for at the description level. Given schema_description_coverage is 0%, the description should carry more weight for parameters but does not.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly identifies the tool as WeChat Developer Tools IDE lifecycle management and enumerates six specific actions (open, login, is_login, close, quit, status) with brief semantic labels for each, such as '打开IDE/项目' and '扫码登录'. This makes it easy to distinguish from sibling tools like wechat_build or wechat_inspector, which target different aspects of the WeChat toolchain.

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 explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus siblings. It does not mention alternatives, exclusions, prerequisites, or conditions such as 'use wechat_build for compilation' or 'use wechat_inspector for debugging'. The action list implies capability but does not help an agent decide between lifecycle management and other tool categories.

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

wechat_inspectorA
Read-onlyIdempotent

采集小程序运行时日志和异常。 支持 action: console(automator端口采集console日志和JS异常), cdp(通过CDP协议采集WXML警告、渲染层报错、废弃API提示等底层日志)。 cdp action 需先以 cdp_enabled=true 打开项目,确保端口 9222 可用。 返回 JSON: {success, data: {logs, summary}, message}。

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false, so safety is covered. The description adds concrete behavioral context: two acquisition protocols, the cdp pre-condition, and the JSON response envelope {success, data:{logs, summary}, message}. No contradiction with annotations.

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?

Four sentences, no filler; purpose is front-loaded and the action/prerequisite/return-format sections are each one line. Easily scannable.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Between the description, detailed nested parameter docs, and the available output schema, an agent has what it needs to invoke either action. Minor gap: the cdp port prerequisite is stated as a fixed 9222 rather than tied to the cdp_port parameter, but the default matches.

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 schema already documents all nested parameters with descriptions, including duration behavior and log_type. The description adds semantic value by explaining what each action value means and reiterating the cdp port requirement, which the bare schema enum does not provide.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Opens with '采集小程序运行时日志和异常' – a specific verb and object. The two actions (console vs cdp) map to distinct log sources, which separates it from siblings like wechat_build or wechat_screenshot. No ambiguity about what the tool does.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description explicitly states that the cdp action requires opening the project with cdp_enabled=true and a usable port 9222, and separates what each action collects (console/JS exceptions vs WXML/render/deprecated-API logs). It does not name sibling alternatives or exclusions, but the internal action guidance is clear.

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

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already carry idempotent/non-destructive flags, and the description adds the navigation-and-wait behavior plus the exact JSON return contract. It does not detail side effects like page-state changes or failure cases, but for an idempotent navigation tool the disclosure is adequate.

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?

Three front-loaded sentences convey action, applicability, prerequisite, and return shape with no redundant filler. The structure is easy to scan.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a parameter-rich CDP tool, the definition covers the prerequisite, use cases, and return contract while annotations cover safety/idempotency. It is missing only explicit disambiguation from siblings and error/failure behavior, which are not critical given the output schema and schema-level parameter docs.

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 prose only refers abstractly to '指定页面' and '指定时间' and does not document parameters itself. However, the nested schema fully describes page_path with a query-parameter example, timeout/wait_ms ranges, and clear_logs/check_data behavior, so an agent can still invoke the tool correctly without relying on the description.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a precise action—'跳转到指定页面' plus CDP log capture—and binds it to concrete use cases (onLoad/onShow lifecycle checks, page error verification). This is specific enough to tell wechat_navigate apart from siblings like wechat_screenshot or wechat_inspector.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicitly gives the prerequisite call to wechat_automator with cdp_enabled=true and names the intended scenarios. It does not state when to prefer a different tool or define exclusions, so it stops short of a 5.

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

A4.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Beyond the annotations (readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint), the description reveals that the tool auto-scrolls and stitches long screenshots by default, that output_path can be omitted to save to screenshots/, and that the response is a JSON object with success, data.path/width/height/segments, and message. These behavioral details help the agent anticipate side effects and response shape. No contradiction with annotations.

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?

Four short sentences, each adding new information: purpose, long-screenshot default, output_path default, return format. The most important action and defaults are front-loaded. No redundant or marketing language.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a read-only screenshot tool with a rich schema and an output schema, the description covers the key defaults and return format. It does not mention prerequisites like the simulator being open or the meaning of 'segments', but these are minor given the existing schema and annotations. The description is sufficient for an agent to invoke the tool correctly in most cases.

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

Parameters2/5

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

The context signal reports 0% schema description coverage, so the description must compensate, but it only details output_path's default location and implicitly full_page's default. Parameters like overlap, auto_port, page_path, and scroll_top are not explained in the description, requiring the agent to inspect the nested $defs. The $defs do contain descriptions, which mitigates this, but the description itself adds little parametric meaning beyond the schema.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description opens with a specific verb and resource: '实时捕获当前小程序模拟器的界面截图' (capture the current mini-program simulator interface screenshot in real-time). It further clarifies the long-screenshot default and references the output path and return JSON, leaving no doubt about the tool's function. This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like wechat_build or wechat_navigate.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description gives clear context that this is for capturing screenshots of the simulator and mentions default long-screenshot behavior. It does not, however, name any sibling tools or state when to prefer this over wechat_inspector or wechat_automator. A brief 'use this when you need a screenshot' would have been stronger, but the context is unambiguous enough.

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

A3.6/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

The seven tools are mostly organized by clear domains (IDE lifecycle, build, automation, logs, screenshot, navigation, file access). However, wechat_inspector and wechat_navigate both collect CDP/runtime logs, which could create ambiguity when an agent simply needs log data.

Naming Consistency4/5

All tools share the wechat_ prefix and snake_case, making the family recognizable, but the second segment mixes nouns (ide, automator, inspector, screenshot, file) with verbs (build, navigate). The internal action lists are consistently verb-based, so the deviation is minor.

Tool Count5/5

Seven tools is well-scoped for a WeChat DevTools automation server. Each tool bundles related actions under a single interface, avoiding both fragmentation and a monolithic do-everything tool.

Completeness4/5

The surface covers the main lifecycle: open/login/close, compile/preview/upload, automation interaction, log collection, screenshots, navigation, and file/project reads. Minor gaps remain, such as no explicit stop action for automation sessions and no project creation, but core workflows have no dead ends.
