Propose a page mapping

prepress_map_pages

Destructive

Work out which uploaded page prints in which position of an item, or set the placement the customer asks for.

Call once the customer's artwork has been uploaded. Safe to call at any time: if too few pages have arrived it reports the shortfall in rationale rather than guessing, whether or not the customer is finished. Pass no_more_files=true when the customer says they've finished uploading — it records that fact for the rest of the flow.

Returns a job_id; poll for the result. state tells you what happened: PROPOSED (a mapping_summary to show the customer, then record their approval by answering the APPROVE_MAPPING confirmation in pending_confirmations with prepress_confirm before prepress_submit_mapping), AWAITING_FILES (more pages needed), or AWAITING_INGESTION (the upload hasn't finished ingesting on the server yet — this call already waited; just call prepress_map_pages again shortly if it hasn't settled). Without positions the proposal is deterministic: the same files give the same mapping.

When the customer wants pages placed differently ("put page 3 on the back", "swap the front and back"), read the item's editor from prepress_status with include_editor=true, then call again with positions and base_mapping_version from that editor. Give one entry per position you fill: its index from editor.slots and, as source, the ref of a page from editor.pages copied verbatim. Where editor.cover_forms offers a choice, fill the slots of one form and pass "covered" for the other cover slots. A page you leave out is not printed. The result is a new PROPOSED mapping with a new APPROVE_MAPPING: show it and get the customer's approval as above. The customer can also upload corrected files instead.

Nothing is written to the order until prepress_submit_mapping. On failure the job error will be GeometryUnavailableError (this product has no print positions), AmbiguousGeometryError, MappingRejectedError (its violations say what is wrong with the mapping, or that the pages changed: read the new editor from prepress_status and try again), MappingNotProposedError (positions need a proposal to change: call without them first), AlreadyMappedError (this item's layout is final: only a new order prints a different one, and a new upload does not), ArtworkIngestFailedError (the server could not read the uploaded file: send the customer the artwork upload page for a new file, and do not call again), or ProposeBusyError (another run is mapping this item — call again in a moment).

A4.8/5.0

Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the annotations it explains the job/poll model, the PROPOSED/AWAITING_FILES/AWAITING_INGESTION states, the approval handshake through prepress_confirm and prepress_submit_mapping, determinism without positions, and that nothing is written to the order until submit. It also enumerates the failure modes (GeometryUnavailableError, MappingRejectedError, AlreadyMappedError, ProposeBusyError, etc.) with what each means operationally.

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?

Purpose is front-loaded and paragraphs are organized by concern (when to call, return/state handling, positions path, failure modes). It is long, and the error enumeration is dense, but nearly every sentence carries operational information an agent needs.

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

Completeness5/5

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

For a stateful, non-idempotent mapping tool with an output schema, the description covers invocation timing, the full state machine, the confirmation flow, the override path, and error recovery. An agent can drive the whole leg from this text without further inference.

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?

Schema coverage is only 33%, so the description carries weight and does: it explains positions as one entry per filled slot with index from editor.slots and source as a verbatim page ref, the "covered" value for overlapping cover forms, base_mapping_version's role, and no_more_files' bookkeeping effect. session_id, order_id and item_id are left implicit, which is a minor residual gap.

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 opening sentence gives a specific verb and resource: work out which uploaded page prints in which position, or set a customer-specified placement. It is clearly separable from prepress_submit_mapping (which commits) and prepress_status (which reads), both named in the text.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

It states the trigger (after artwork upload), the safe-to-call-anytime condition, when to pass no_more_files, and exactly when to use positions (customer wants different placement) including the prerequisite read of prepress_status with include_editor=true. It also names an alternative path: the customer uploading corrected files.

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