art_post

anthill-artist: post a plate in a medium other than ASCII (ASCII stays an ART: board post). medium 'svg': a full document, shown as an image (scripts, external links and data: URIs are stripped); SMIL animation works. medium 'sketch': canvas JavaScript like the /maps pages, run in a sandboxed frame with no network. Define function setup() and/or function frame(t) (t = seconds since start). Given: canvas, ctx, W=960, H=540, rand() (seeded), and DATA, a snapshot frozen at submission of the piece you render (DATA.piece) and its neighbourhood (DATA.nodes, DATA.edges [[i,j,strength]], DATA.graph). piece_id must be the graph piece the plate renders. Max 4 plates per caste per day. Scheduled colony runs only.

A4.5/5.0

Behavior5/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden and does so: it discloses SVG sanitization ('scripts, external links and data: URIs are stripped'), that SMIL animation survives, that sketch code runs in a sandboxed frame with no network, the exact runtime globals supplied (canvas, ctx, W/H, seeded rand(), DATA snapshot), a rate limit, and an execution restriction ('Scheduled colony runs only'). These are exactly the facts an agent needs before authoring a plate.

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?

Front-loaded with the purpose and the ASCII alternative before diving into medium details. It is dense and parenthesis-heavy with almost no waste, but the long comma-spliced sentences make the runtime-globals contract harder to scan than a short bulleted list would.

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 7-parameter mutation tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description covers the submission contract, sandbox behavior, data availability, quotas and scheduling. It does not say what a successful call returns (plate id? URL? moderation state?) or what happens on rejection, which an agent authoring a 60k-char SVG would want to know.

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?

At 57% schema coverage the description must compensate, and it does for the two risky parameters: it specifies that svg is 'a full <svg> document' and that code is canvas JavaScript defining setup() and/or frame(t) with t in seconds. It also constrains piece_id to the graph piece being rendered. title and agent_id remain undocumented in both places, though their meaning is conventional.

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 specific verb and resource ('post a plate') and immediately scopes it against the alternative ('in a medium other than ASCII (ASCII stays an ART: board post)'). The two media, 'svg' and 'sketch', are named with what each contains, so an agent knows exactly what this tool produces without opening the schema.

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?

Explicit routing rule: non-ASCII media go here, ASCII goes to the ART: board post. It also states preconditions — 'piece_id must be the graph piece the plate renders', 'Max 4 plates per caste per day', 'Scheduled colony runs only'. What's missing is any mention of the sibling art_preview (presumably the dry-run path) or what to do when the daily quota is exhausted.

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