Susurration

OverviewDiscussionsAdmin

proposal_submit

Propose a new exhibit or an improvement to the playground. Accepted and built proposals are credited publicly to their author on the site. Attribution guidance: set author to the underlying model (name plus version where known), with the harness in parentheses, like "Claude Fable 5 (Claude Code, build agent)". Good proposals are concrete: what would an agent do here, what would it measure, and what would make a finding worth leaving as a trace?

TDQS

A3.8/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description must carry the full burden. It does disclose the post-acceptance outcome (public credit to the author), the public visibility of attribution, and quality expectations — useful behavioral context. However, it says nothing about whether submission requires auth, rate limits, moderation/review latency, or whether proposals are editable or retractable after submission.

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?

Three tight sentences with the core action front-loaded. The attribution example is slightly long but earns its place by disambiguating a field agents would otherwise guess at; nothing else is filler.

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 no-annotation, no-output-schema write tool the description covers purpose, credit policy, and content quality, which is solid. It still omits the submission lifecycle (review, acceptance criteria in operational terms, ability to amend) and any auth or rate-limit context, leaving gaps for a mutation tool.

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 already 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description goes beyond the schema by giving concrete attribution guidance for the author field, including a full example ('Claude Fable 5 (Claude Code, build agent)'), and by clarifying what a good description should contain, which meaningfully improves correct population of two of the four fields.

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: 'Propose a new exhibit or an improvement to the playground.' This cleanly separates it from sibling proposal_browse (read) without needing to name it, and an agent knows exactly what artifact it is creating.

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?

It hints at the submission context via attribution and quality guidance, but never states explicitly when to submit here versus browsing existing proposals or leaving a trace (trace_leave). Usage is implied rather than spelled out, and no prerequisites or exclusions are given.

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