# Message Queue Publisher Tool - Compliance Checklist

**Status**: ✅ **MOSTLY COMPLIANT**  
**Priority**: LOW - Minor verification needed

## ✅ Already Compliant

- [x] Has all required files: `main.py`, `agents.yaml`, `workflows.yaml`, `readme.md`, `template.md`
- [x] Class name follows convention: `MessageQueuePublisherMCPTool`
- [x] Has `_bypass_pydantic = True`
- [x] Documentation files are lowercase
- [x] Modern workflow patterns
- [x] Good documentation structure

## ⚠️ Items to Verify

### 1. Model Configuration Review
- [ ] Verify all agents use optimal models (`gpt-4o` preferred)
- [ ] Check for any `gpt-4` that could be upgraded
- [ ] Ensure message publishing agents have appropriate models

### 2. Workflow Format Verification
- [ ] Verify all workflows use modern `output: to:` format
- [ ] Check for any deprecated `output_key` patterns
- [ ] Validate step reference accuracy

### 3. Message Queue Integration
- [ ] Verify queue publishing patterns are reliable
- [ ] Check error handling for publish failures
- [ ] Validate message formatting and validation

## 🔍 Message Publishing Specific Checks

### Publishing Operations
- [ ] Message validation before publishing
- [ ] Queue routing and topic management
- [ ] Error handling for failed publishes
- [ ] Message persistence options
- [ ] Publishing confirmation mechanisms

### Message Format
- [ ] Message structure validation
- [ ] Content encoding handling
- [ ] Metadata attachment
- [ ] Message prioritization
- [ ] Expiration handling

## 🧪 Testing Recommendations

- [ ] Test message publishing accuracy
- [ ] Verify queue routing works correctly
- [ ] Test error handling scenarios
- [ ] Validate message format compliance
- [ ] Test publishing performance under load

## 📅 Implementation Priority

1. **MEDIUM**: Verify model configurations
2. **LOW**: Check workflow format compliance
3. **LOW**: Validate publishing integration patterns
4. **OPTIONAL**: Optimize performance

## 🎯 Success Criteria

- [ ] All agents use optimal model configurations
- [ ] All workflows use modern format
- [ ] Publishing operations are reliable
- [ ] Error handling is robust
- [ ] Message validation is comprehensive

## 💡 Enhancement Opportunities

- [ ] Add message templates and schemas
- [ ] Implement batch publishing capabilities
- [ ] Add publishing analytics and metrics
- [ ] Enhance error recovery mechanisms
- [ ] Add message routing optimization

## 🔄 Integration with Consumer

This tool works in tandem with `message_queue_consumer`:
- [ ] Ensure message format compatibility
- [ ] Verify queue naming consistency
- [ ] Check error handling coordination
- [ ] Validate end-to-end message flow
