Tool Definition Quality
Average 4.4/5 across 28 of 32 tools scored. Lowest: 3.2/5.
Each tool targets a distinct resource and action, e.g., signup vs. delete_account, create_key vs. revoke_key, generate_hooks vs. score_hook. Even similar tools like generate_hooks and generate_hooks_batch are clearly differentiated by single vs. batch operation.
All 32 tools use a consistent verb_noun snake_case pattern (e.g., add_credits, create_checkout, revoke_key, list_outcomes) with no mixing of camelCase or other conventions.
32 tools is slightly above the typical 15-tool range, but the domain is broad (account, keys, webhooks, generation, scoring, jobs, outcomes), and each tool has a specific purpose. No tools seem redundant.
The tool surface covers most lifecycle operations: CRUD for accounts/keys/webhooks, generation/scoring with batch and async variants, outcomes reporting, and auxiliary tools. Missing explicit delete for hooks (expire automatically) and some update operations, but no critical gaps.
Available Tools
43 toolsadd_creditsAIdempotentInspect
Top up your credit balance (1-10000). Self-serve by default.
When VHGENGINE_ADMIN_KEY is configured on the deployment this requires a
matching admin_key argument; otherwise it stays self-serve (unless
VHGENGINE_FREE_CREDITS is off). Idempotent on idempotency_key (replay does NOT
grant twice). Returns {credits (new balance), granted}. Errors: unauthorized
(missing/wrong admin key or self-serve disabled), invalid_request (amount range
/ balance ceiling), idempotency_conflict, rate_limited.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| amount | Yes | Credits to add, 1-10000. Charged operations spend these; see pricing for the per-mode cost. The grant also has a per-account balance ceiling, so a large top-up on a full balance is invalid_request. | |
| api_key | No | API key for this call. Omit to fall back to the Authorization: Bearer / X-API-Key request header (streamable-HTTP only), then the VHGENGINE_API_KEY env var (the stdio default). No key resolvable -> unauthorized. | |
| admin_key | No | The deployment's VHGENGINE_ADMIN_KEY. Required ONLY when the operator configured one; omit on a self-serve deployment. A wrong or missing value where one is configured is unauthorized. | |
| idempotency_key | No | Caller-chosen replay key (any string, unique per intended effect). A repeat call with the SAME key returns the stored result and is NEVER charged twice; the same key with different arguments is an idempotency_conflict. Omit and every call is a fresh, separately charged operation. |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| credits | No | Balance AFTER the grant. |
| granted | No | Credits added by this call; 0 on an idempotent replay. |
| replayed | No | true when an earlier call with the same idempotency_key already granted. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Beyond the idempotentHint annotation, it details that replay with the same key does NOT grant twice, lists specific error categories (unauthorized, invalid_request, idempotency_conflict, rate_limited), and states the return shape. This is rich behavioral disclosure that annotations alone do not provide.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is three sentences (plus an error list) with no wasted words. It front-loads the purpose and packs behavioral details, auth modes, and errors into a compact block.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the existence of an output schema, the description still covers auth modes, idempotency, errors, and a high-level return value. It is thorough for a 4-parameter tool with complex deployment-dependent behavior.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with descriptions for all parameters, which is a baseline 3. The description adds meaningful context for admin_key (required only when configured) and idempotency_key (replay semantics), going beyond the schema. This pushes it to a 4.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description opens with 'Top up your credit balance (1-10000)' — a specific verb, resource, and range. This clearly distinguishes it from billing/checkout siblings and conveys the core action immediately.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
It explains when admin_key is required versus self-serve, and idempotency behavior. However, it does not explicitly contrast with alternatives like create_checkout or state when not to use this tool. Context is clear but no exclusions are given, matching a 4.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
cancel_jobADestructiveInspect
Cancel a job that is STILL QUEUED. Free, repeatable, never refunds.
ALWAYS branch on `cancelled`; reason + next_action say what to do. A queued job
was never charged (the worker charges), so credits_refunded is always 0. A RUNNING
job cannot be stopped: it finishes, CHARGES and persists. Cancelled reads as
status "failed" with error.error.details.cancelled true; to re-run, resubmit with
a FRESH idempotency_key (reusing the cancelled one replays the cancelled result).
Errors: unauthorized, forbidden (key lacks the spend scope), not_found, rate_limited.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| job_id | Yes | The job to cancel. Account-scoped: an id you do not own reads as not_found, exactly like get_job. | |
| api_key | No | API key for this call. Omit to fall back to the Authorization: Bearer / X-API-Key request header (streamable-HTTP only), then the VHGENGINE_API_KEY env var (the stdio default). No key resolvable -> unauthorized. |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| error | No | Not returned by this tool. Named here because get_job(job_id) afterwards carries error.error.details.cancelled true (code 'conflict', details.reason 'cancelled'): THAT is how you tell your own cancel apart from a genuine job failure. |
| job_id | No | The job the cancel targeted. |
| reason | No | Why the call ended the way it did, in one sentence. |
| status | No | The job's status AFTER the attempt: 'failed' when cancelled, else whatever it really is (running / succeeded / failed). |
| cancelled | No | true only when this call moved a still-QUEUED job to terminal. false means nothing changed; `reason` says why and `next_action` says what to do. |
| next_action | No | The exact next call to make, if any. |
| credits_refunded | No | Always 0. A queued job was never charged (the charge runs inside the worker), and a running job cannot be stopped, so a cancel never refunds. |
| already_cancelled | No | true when an earlier cancel_job had already cancelled this job, so this call was a no-op rather than a miss. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Goes far beyond the destructiveHint=true annotation. Discloses non-refundable behavior ('never refunds'), the absence of refunds for queued jobs ('credits_refunded is always 0'), post-cancellation status ('reads as status \"failed\"'), and the idempotency quirk ('reusing the cancelled one replays the cancelled result'). Also enumerates error conditions: unauthorized, forbidden, not_found, rate_limited.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is compact yet information-dense. Front-loaded with the primary action, each sentence adds critical operational detail (status handling, refunds, errors, idempotency). No filler or repetition.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite having full schema coverage and an output schema, the description adds necessary behavioral context: what counts as cancellation, why refunds are always 0, how cancelled results appear, and how to handle errors. This is more than sufficient for an agent to safely invoke the tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The tool description does not add parameter-specific semantics beyond what the schema already provides (e.g., job_id's account-scoping and api_key's fallback chain). The description's idempotency_key note is about a different call, not this tool's parameters.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description opens with 'Cancel a job that is STILL QUEUED,' which states the exact verb, resource, and condition. It clearly distinguishes from sibling tools like get_job, list_jobs, start_generate_job, and wait_for_job by narrowing the scope to queued jobs only.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly states when to use: 'Cancel a job that is STILL QUEUED.' Provides a when-not: 'A RUNNING job cannot be stopped: it finishes, CHARGES and persists.' Offers an alternative for re-running: 'resubmit with a FRESH idempotency_key.' It also directs the caller to branch on 'cancelled' and use 'reason + next_action.'
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
create_checkoutAInspect
Get a Stripe hosted-checkout link for a credit pack. You never touch a card (WP-PAY).
Hand the returned checkout_url to your human; the webhook credits you after they pay.
Args: pack (a credits amount from pricing.credit_packs), success_url/cancel_url
(optional), api_key (spend scope). Returns {checkout_url, pack, credits, usd_cents,
expires_at}. Errors: unauthorized, forbidden, invalid_request (bad pack),
payments_disabled (503; use add_credits), rate_limited.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| pack | Yes | Which credit pack to buy, given as its CREDITS amount and matched against pricing.credit_packs exactly (not a dollar figure and not an index). A value that is not an offered pack is invalid_request. | |
| api_key | No | API key for this call. Omit to fall back to the Authorization: Bearer / X-API-Key request header (streamable-HTTP only), then the VHGENGINE_API_KEY env var (the stdio default). No key resolvable -> unauthorized. | |
| cancel_url | No | Where Stripe sends the browser if your human abandons checkout. At most 2048 characters. Omit to use the deployment's default. | |
| success_url | No | Where Stripe sends the browser after a successful payment. At most 2048 characters. Omit to use the deployment's default landing page. |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| pack | No | Which pack this session buys. |
| credits | No | Credits that land on your balance after the webhook confirms payment. |
| usd_cents | No | What your human is charged, in cents. |
| expires_at | No | When the checkout link stops working, ISO-8601 UTC. |
| checkout_url | No | The URL your human opens to pay. Single use. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations available, the description carries the full burden and does well: it discloses that no card is touched, that the webhook credits after payment, and lists the return fields and error types. It gives a solid understanding of the async credit flow and failure modes, though it omits details like idempotency or rate-limit specifics.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is well-structured and concise: a one-line purpose, a short behavior note, then clearly labeled Args, Returns, and Errors sections. Every sentence adds value, and the format is scannable for an agent. No filler or redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's moderate complexity (payment flow, async crediting, multiple error modes), the description covers the essential behavioral context. It explains the user-facing flow, return object, and error conditions. Since an output schema exists, the return values are already structured, and the description complements that without redundancy.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema already covers all parameters with detailed descriptions (100% coverage). The description adds minimal extra semantic value, mainly restating 'pack' as a credits amount and adding 'spend scope' for api_key. Since the schema does the heavy lifting, the baseline of 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
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: 'Get a Stripe hosted-checkout link for a credit pack.' This clearly states what the tool does and distinguishes it from related tools like add_credits. It also explains the token flow ('You never touch a card') and the intended use case, making the purpose unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides clear context for when to use the tool: to generate a checkout link that is handed to a human for payment. It mentions an explicit alternative in the error section: 'payments_disabled (503; use add_credits)'. However, it does not provide broader when-not-to-use guidance beyond that specific error case, so it stops short of a full 5.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
create_creator_profileAIdempotentInspect
Create an owned, versioned creator profile. Free; admin scope.
At least one creator/audience/stance/fact is required. Returns the exact version,
deny-by-default secondary-use decisions, receipts, and an unverified-attestation
warning. Optional idempotency_key replays safely. Errors: unauthorized, forbidden,
invalid_request, conflict, idempotency_conflict, configuration_unavailable, rate_limited.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| stance | No | Optional: what the creator is for or against, selling, or building, so hooks carry a real position instead of a neutral summary. | |
| api_key | No | API key for this call. Omit to fall back to the Authorization: Bearer / X-API-Key request header (streamable-HTTP only), then the VHGENGINE_API_KEY env var (the stdio default). No key resolvable -> unauthorized. | |
| creator | No | Optional: who is speaking, free text ('wedding videographer, 40k followers, I talk to camera over b-roll of my shoots'). The more the engine knows about the creator, the more the hooks are theirs rather than a generic narrator's. | |
| audience | No | Optional: who watches ('engaged couples budgeting'). Aims every hook at a real audience instead of an assumed one. | |
| display_name | Yes | Account-local profile label, 1-100 characters. | |
| secondary_use | No | Each secondary-use decision is independent and denied by default. These decisions are retained for governance only: generation, scoring, retrieval, and learning do not consume them today. | |
| idempotency_key | No | Caller-chosen replay key (any string, unique per intended effect). A repeat call with the SAME key returns the stored result and is NEVER charged twice; the same key with different arguments is an idempotency_conflict. Omit and every call is a fresh, separately charged operation. | |
| authority_attested | Yes | I confirm that I am this creator or am authorized by them to store these declarations and use the selected immutable version when I later make an explicit profile-bound hook-generation request. VHGENGINE records this caller attestation; it does not verify identity, ownership, or legal authority. | |
| first_person_facts | No | Optional: facts TRUE of this creator that hooks may assert first-person ('I have filmed 200+ weddings'). The ONLY sanctioned source of personal claims; without it, hooks never invent a biography. | |
| subject_relationship | Yes | self, authorized representative, or organization representative. |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| stance | No | Caller-declared speaker stance. |
| creator | No | Caller-declared creator description. |
| version | No | Exact immutable version returned by this read or write. |
| audience | No | Caller-declared audience. |
| replayed | No | true when idempotency replayed the stored write. |
| created_at | No | Profile creation time, ISO-8601 UTC. |
| is_current | No | Whether this immutable version is current. |
| profile_id | No | Opaque account-owned profile id. |
| updated_at | No | Current profile update time, ISO-8601 UTC. |
| display_name | No | Account-local profile label. |
| secondary_use | No | Three independent deny-by-default decisions. |
| current_version | No | Profile's current version. |
| attestation_note | No | Unverified-authority and non-consumption warning. |
| consent_receipts | No | Latest revision receipt for every decision. |
| authority_attested | No | The caller recorded the required authority attestation. |
| first_person_facts | No | Sanctioned caller-declared facts. |
| rights_notice_text | No | Exact immutable caller-authority notice text. |
| version_created_at | No | This version's creation time, ISO-8601 UTC. |
| consent_notice_text | No | Exact deny-by-default secondary-use notice text. |
| subject_relationship | No | Caller's declared relationship to the creator. |
| rights_notice_version | No | Immutable rights-attestation notice version. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description discloses multiple behavioral traits beyond the idempotentHint annotation: it returns 'the exact version, deny-by-default secondary-use decisions, receipts, and an unverified-attestation warning' and lists specific error codes. It also explains idempotency_key replays safely, adding meaning to 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is compact and front-loaded with the key purpose. All sentences add value: cost/scope, validation requirement, return values, idempotency, and error list. The error list is concise and the overall structure is efficient without redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (10 parameters, output schema, annotations), the description covers essentials: cost, permissions, minimum content, return payload, idempotency behavior, and errors. It complements the rich schema without repeating it, providing sufficient context for correct invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, but the description adds a crucial cross-parameter constraint: 'At least one creator/audience/stance/fact is required,' which is not evident from individual optional fields. It also highlights idempotency_key replay safety, supplementing the schema's description.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Create an owned, versioned creator profile' with a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes the create operation from sibling tools like update_creator_profile, delete_creator_profile, and list_creator_profiles by focusing on creation and the 'owned, versioned' aspect.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides clear context: 'Free; admin scope' indicates cost and permission prerequisites, and 'At least one creator/audience/stance/fact is required' gives a content constraint. It also notes optional idempotency_key replay safety. It doesn't explicitly name alternatives, but the create-vs-update distinction is clear from context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
create_keyAInspect
Mint a new named API key; the plaintext is returned ONCE. Requires admin scope.
Delegate safely (WP-SCOPE): optional scopes (subset of read|spend|admin; omit for
full power) + daily_credit_cap (credits/day; omit for uncapped) hand a sub-agent a
key that can only do what you allow. Args: name (1-100), api_key (an admin-scoped
key). Returns {api_key (store it), prefix, name, scopes, daily_credit_cap,
created_at}. Errors: unauthorized, forbidden, invalid_request, rate_limited.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | No | Label for the new key, 1-100 chars, shown by list_keys so you can tell delegated keys apart. Defaults to 'key'. | key |
| scopes | No | Powers the new key gets: read (free reads), spend (charged generate/score/remix), admin (key + account + webhook management). OMIT for a full-power key; pass a subset to hand a sub-agent strictly less power than you hold. | |
| api_key | No | API key for this call. Omit to fall back to the Authorization: Bearer / X-API-Key request header (streamable-HTTP only), then the VHGENGINE_API_KEY env var (the stdio default). No key resolvable -> unauthorized. | |
| daily_credit_cap | No | Credits this key may spend per UTC day, 1-100000; further charges on it are refused once reached (other keys are unaffected). Omit for uncapped. list_keys reports spent_today against this. |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| name | No | The label you gave it. |
| prefix | No | First 12 chars, used by list_keys / revoke_key / get_usage(key_prefix=...). |
| scopes | No | Powers granted, a subset of read/spend/admin (all three = full power). |
| api_key | No | The plaintext key. Store it now; it is never readable again. |
| created_at | No | Creation time, ISO-8601 UTC. |
| daily_credit_cap | No | Per-UTC-day spend ceiling, or null for uncapped. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It discloses the one-time plaintext return, admin scope requirement, full-power vs scoped behavior, daily cap semantics, auth parameter, return fields, and error types. This is rich, honest behavioral disclosure.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is structured into a quick-essential first line, a delegation rationale paragraph, then compact Args/Returns/Errors lines. Every sentence adds value—no fluff or repetition—and it stays focused despite covering critical security details.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool has 4 params, an output schema, and genuine complexity (auth scopes, caps, one-time secret). The description covers purpose, usage, return shape, auth requirements, and error cases. It is complete enough to invoke correctly without external documentation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% and the schema descriptions are already strong, but the description adds clarifying meaning: 'omit for full power,' 'store it' for the returned api_key, and 'admin-scoped key' for the api_key parameter. This goes beyond the schema baseline.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description opens with 'Mint a new named API key; the plaintext is returned ONCE. Requires admin scope,' which uses a specific verb ('mint'), resource ('API key'), and key trait (one-time plaintext). This clearly distinguishes it from siblings like list_keys, revoke_key, and add_credits.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
It explicitly states the admin-scope requirement and positions delegation use cases: 'Delegate safely... hand a sub-agent a key that can only do what you allow.' It does not name alternative tools, but the purpose is clearly distinct from revoke_key or list_keys, and the context is sufficient.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
delete_accountADestructiveInspect
Permanently delete this account. TERMINAL, not reversible. Admin scope (WP-LIFE). Pass confirm="delete" (guards accidents). Revokes ALL keys and deletes live profile facts/consent, hooks, webhooks, deliveries, jobs and idempotency; KEEPS bounded profile retraction markers, the immutable financial ledger, and de-associated outcome rows. Export FIRST with export_usage: ledger, every hook/immutable instance/outcome/profile, plus every retained job, commission and request tag in one call. Paged: get_usage/list_hooks/list_outcomes/list_jobs. Backup aging: GET /v1/legal. Errors: unauthorized, forbidden, invalid_request, rate_limited.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| api_key | No | API key for this call. Omit to fall back to the Authorization: Bearer / X-API-Key request header (streamable-HTTP only), then the VHGENGINE_API_KEY env var (the stdio default). No key resolvable -> unauthorized. | |
| confirm | Yes | Must be exactly the string "delete". A guard: any other value (or omitting it) fails argument validation before anything is touched, so an accidental invocation cannot destroy the account. |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| note | No | Human-readable summary of what was and was not removed. |
| deleted | No | true once the account is tombstoned. Every key now 401s. |
| retained | No | {financial_events, anonymized_outcomes, creator_profile_retractions}: the ledger, de-associated outcome rows, and bounded profile exclusion markers survive. The outcome field keeps its legacy name; submitted content can remain. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Beyond the destructiveHint annotation, the description details exactly what is revoked/deleted (keys, profile facts, hooks, webhooks, deliveries, jobs, idempotency) and what is retained (retraction markers, ledger, outcome rows). It also emphasizes irreversibility ('TERMINAL, not reversible') and the confirm guard.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is dense but every sentence provides essential information: terminal action, scope, guard, effects, retention, export first, pagination, and errors. It is front-loaded with the most critical words ('Permanently delete this account') and is well-structured despite its length.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity and high stakes, the description covers all necessary context: what is destroyed, what is kept, how to prepare (export), how to list data, and error handling. It is fully complete for a destructive account-deletion tool, and the presence of an output schema further covers return values.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema already provides complete, precise descriptions for both `api_key` and `confirm` (including the `const: "delete"` guard). The description only repeats the confirm requirement ('Pass confirm="delete"'), adding no new parameter-specific meaning beyond the schema, so it does not exceed the baseline.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description opens with 'Permanently delete this account,' which uses a specific verb and resource, and is clearly distinct from sibling tools like delete_creator_profile and revoke_key. It also clarifies the scope ('Admin scope (WP-LIFE)') and the terminal nature of the action.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
It explicitly states when to use it (admin scope) and includes a critical prerequisite: 'Export FIRST with export_usage.' It also provides alternative listing tools for paged access (get_usage/list_hooks/list_outcomes/list_jobs) and expected errors, guiding the agent on correct invocation and safety.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
delete_creator_profileADestructiveIdempotentInspect
Erase profile facts and consent history; retain a retraction marker. Admin scope.
Already committed customer hook outputs are not silently deleted. No profile data is
used for secondary learning or cross-customer retrieval today. One-way replay-key
tombstones prevent delayed keyed writes from recreating the profile. Requires the current
expected_version and confirm="delete". Errors: unauthorized, forbidden, not_found,
conflict, idempotency_conflict, invalid_request, configuration_unavailable, rate_limited.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| api_key | No | API key for this call. Omit to fall back to the Authorization: Bearer / X-API-Key request header (streamable-HTTP only), then the VHGENGINE_API_KEY env var (the stdio default). No key resolvable -> unauthorized. | |
| confirm | Yes | Must be exactly "delete" so an accidental call cannot erase it. | |
| profile_id | Yes | Account-owned creator profile id returned by create/list profiles. | |
| idempotency_key | No | Caller-chosen replay key (any string, unique per intended effect). A repeat call with the SAME key returns the stored result and is NEVER charged twice; the same key with different arguments is an idempotency_conflict. Omit and every call is a fresh, separately charged operation. | |
| expected_version | Yes | Positive immutable profile version. |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| note | No | Committed-output and disabled-secondary-use boundary. |
| deleted | No | true once direct profile data was erased. |
| replayed | No | true when idempotency replayed the stored delete response. |
| retained | No | Erasure, job-race, and lineage retraction receipts. |
| profile_id | No | The erased profile id. |
| last_version | No | Last version erased. |
| retracted_at | No | Retraction time, ISO-8601 UTC. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Even with annotations declaring destructive and idempotent hints, the description adds substantial value: what is retained (retraction marker), that committed hook outputs are not touched, that no data is used for secondary learning, and the one-way replay-key tombstone mechanism. It also lists the full error set, providing excellent behavioral transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The core statement is front-loaded with an efficient first sentence. Additional sentences provide necessary caveats and error handling, though the privacy sentence about secondary learning is somewhat tangential. Overall structured and scannable.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description covers what is erased, what is retained, authorization scope, side effects, idempotency behavior, required parameters, and error scenarios. Given the output schema exists, it need not explain return values; it is fully complete for the tool's complexity.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, but the description adds meaning beyond the schema: it ties expected_version and confirm to safety requirements, and explains the idempotency_key behavior via tombstones. This is more than baseline but does not deeply elaborate every parameter.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states a specific verb ('Erase') and resource ('profile facts and consent history') with a clear nuance ('retain a retraction marker'). It also specifies admin scope, which distinguishes it from sibling tools like update_creator_profile or delete_account.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description clearly indicates administrative scope and prerequisites ('Admin scope', 'Requires the current expected_version and confirm="delete"'). However, it does not explicitly name alternatives or state when not to use it, though the context strongly implies its use for full erasure rather than updates.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
delete_webhookAIdempotentInspect
Remove this account's webhook (WP-M). Admin scope.
Args: api_key (admin scope). Cost=free. Returns {deleted: true}. Errors: unauthorized,
forbidden, not_found (none registered), rate_limited.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| api_key | No | API key for this call. Omit to fall back to the Authorization: Bearer / X-API-Key request header (streamable-HTTP only), then the VHGENGINE_API_KEY env var (the stdio default). No key resolvable -> unauthorized. |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| deleted | No | true once removed. No further events are delivered. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description adds substantial behavioral context beyond the idempotentHint annotation: it states admin scope is required, cost is free, returns {deleted: true}, and enumerates possible errors including not_found when no webhook is registered. This clarifies edge cases like repeated deletions and rate-limiting. 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely compact and well-structured, segmented into Args, Cost, Returns, and Errors. Every sentence earns its place and there is no redundant filler.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple one-parameter delete tool, the description covers prerequisites, cost, return value, and all relevant error conditions. It even clarifies idempotency behavior by noting that deleting a non-existent webhook yields not_found, which is important for repeated calls. The output schema exists, and the description is complete enough for an agent to invoke correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema already provides detailed fallback semantics for api_key with 100% coverage, so the baseline is 3. The description adds the requirement that the key must have admin scope, which is additional meaning not present in the schema, elevating it to 4.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses the specific verb 'Remove' and identifies the resource as 'this account's webhook,' clearly distinguishing it from sibling tools like set_webhook, get_webhook, or delete_account. The '(WP-M)' is slightly cryptic but does not obscure the purpose.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies the tool is for deleting the account webhook and notes the admin scope prerequisite, but it does not explicitly discuss when to use it relative to alternatives or provide any exclusions. It would benefit from mentioning that set_webhook is for creation/updating.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
export_usageARead-onlyInspect
Export ledger, hook, instance, lineage, outcome, profile, and retained-job data. Free; run BEFORE delete_account. Same JSON body as GET /v1/usage/export; CSV has events. UNBOUNDED: prefer paged reads on big accounts. Email is masked without admin scope. Returns account/email/count, ledger, hooks, instances, lineage, outcomes, jobs, profiles, source_evidence, and corrupt markers. Jobs and profiles retain their bounded receipts. Source evidence includes metrics, retractions, and separate research/extraction results. Filters narrow ledger events only; all retained data categories stay complete. Errors: unauthorized, forbidden (key lacks read scope), rate_limited.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| tag | No | Filter to rows carrying EXACTLY this fleet tag (exact match, not a substring). Omit for every tag. | |
| api_key | No | API key for this call. Omit to fall back to the Authorization: Bearer / X-API-Key request header (streamable-HTTP only), then the VHGENGINE_API_KEY env var (the stdio default). No key resolvable -> unauthorized. | |
| key_prefix | No | Narrow the LEDGER to charges made with ONE api key, identified by the 12-char prefix from list_keys. `hooks`, `hook_instances`, `hook_lineage`, `outcomes`, `jobs`, `creator_profiles`, and `source_evidence` are always the full set and are NOT narrowed by this. Omit for every key. |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| jobs | No | Every currently retained async job, including exact commission snapshots, including schema-v2 capture-only intent when supplied, bounded request metadata, results, errors, and corruption markers. Rolling v1 execution views and worker charge identities are not presented as the accepted snapshot. |
| count | No | Number of usage-ledger rows in events after event filters. |
| No | Contact email in full for an admin-scoped key and masked for a read-only key. | |
| hooks | No | Every currently retained hook, not narrowed by event filters. |
| events | No | Usage-ledger rows, oldest first, narrowed by event filters. |
| outcomes | No | Every retained outcome, not narrowed by event filters. |
| account_id | No | The exporting account id. |
| hook_lineage | No | Non-prose per-hook minimum occurrence counts retained until account deletion so expired or rolling-version rows cannot become falsely exact. |
| corrupt_fields | No | Bounded markers for retained event, hook, or outcome JSON fields that could not be decoded safely. Raw malformed values and row identifiers are not echoed. |
| hook_instances | No | Every immutable served-hook occurrence currently retained, including non-prose profile/version lineage when one was used. Unreferenced instances follow the hook TTL; every retained instance for a hook with any outcome remains so historical ambiguity cannot become false exactness. |
| source_evidence | No | Immutable source observations, bounded exact extracts, and candidate-to-served lineage. Corrupt parent chains are suppressed without echoing raw values. |
| creator_profiles | No | Every retained creator-profile version and consent event, plus bounded retraction markers for profiles whose direct declarations were erased. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Discloses many non-obvious behaviors—unbounded output, email masking without admin scope, filters only narrow ledger events while other categories remain complete, and error conditions. Annotations only mark readOnlyHint, so this description carries the burden and exceeds it.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is long but information-dense; every sentence delivers a distinct caveat or clarification. It opens with the primary action and front-loads key facts (free, before delete_account) before detailed return categories. Slight redundancy between the first sentence's data list and later 'Returns...' list, but not enough to be wasteful.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a high-complexity export tool with optional filters and a rich result set, the description covers behavior, scoping, auth, errors, and return composition. Since an output schema is present, return-value details are bonus; the operational caveats are the critical missing context and are included.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema already describes tag/key_prefix fully (100% coverage). Description adds critical cross-parameter semantics: 'Filters narrow ledger events only; all retained data categories stay complete,' which clarifies that key_prefix/tag do not limit hooks, jobs, profiles, etc. It also notes error cases tied to auth.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description opens with specific verb 'Export' and enumerates exact data categories (ledger, hooks, instances, lineage, outcomes, profiles, retained jobs). It distinguishes this from lighter paged reads by warning 'UNBOUNDED: prefer paged reads on big accounts' and by tying it to the pre-delete_account snapshot use case.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
States clear usage conditions: free, run before delete_account, not suitable for large accounts ('prefer paged reads'). It does not name specific sibling alternatives but gives enough contextual guidance to choose export vs paged reads.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
generate_hooksAInspect
Generate ranked, scored hooks for a topic. Charged by mode. Cost = base + per_hook * returned (instant 0+1, smart 0+2, research 10+4); pre-flight never bills a broke account. Only instant is deterministic. CANCELLING DOES NOT REFUND: a timeout cannot stop the engine. Send idempotency_key. If auto_job is true, poll job_id; otherwise recover a lost result via list_hooks. Profile pairs return resolved_creator_profile and immutable hook_instances in all verbosity and job states. Errors: unauthorized, invalid_request, llm_unavailable, insufficient_credits.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| mode | No | Generation engine and therefore the price: instant (0 base + 1/hook, deterministic templates, sub-second), smart (0 + 2/hook, one LLM call, seconds), research (10 + 4/hook, brief->draft->judge, tens of seconds). Aliases: template|off|quick->instant, llm|on|fast->smart, search|deep|deep_research->research. Omit (or auto) -> smart when an LLM key is configured, else instant. | |
| tags | No | 1-5 lowercase slug tags ([a-z0-9_-], <=40 chars) stamped on this call's usage event so a fleet can attribute spend per campaign. Omit for no tagging. Filter later with get_usage(tag=...) / list_hooks(tag=...). | |
| count | No | How many hooks to generate, 1-25. Drives the price (base + per_hook * hooks_RETURNED) and the pre-flight reservation, so a high count on research is the expensive combination. | |
| style | No | Voice/tone to match, <=200 chars. Honored as a real instruction by smart and research; on instant it only varies which deterministic template fillers are drawn, so it cannot change the voice there. Omit for the engine's default register. | |
| topic | Yes | What the hooks are about, 3-200 chars. A concrete subject ('cold plunges for desk workers') scores far better than a bare noun; on research it is also what the brief is researched against. | |
| stance | No | Optional: what the creator is for or against, selling, or building, so hooks carry a real position instead of a neutral summary. | |
| api_key | No | API key for this call. Omit to fall back to the Authorization: Bearer / X-API-Key request header (streamable-HTTP only), then the VHGENGINE_API_KEY env var (the stdio default). No key resolvable -> unauthorized. | |
| clarify | No | Request-sufficiency behaviour: 'ask' returns ONLY clarifying questions (uncharged, nothing generated) - relay them to your human, then re-submit enriched; 'auto' (default) proceeds and the research envelope carries the questions and proposed assumptions as observations; they do not currently change retrieval or writer prompts. 'off' skips the check. Batch and jobs accept only 'auto'/'off'. | |
| creator | No | Optional: who is speaking, free text ('wedding videographer, 40k followers, I talk to camera over b-roll of my shoots'). The more the engine knows about the creator, the more the hooks are theirs rather than a generic narrator's. | |
| audience | No | Optional: who watches ('engaged couples budgeting'). Aims every hook at a real audience instead of an assumed one. | |
| language | No | The language the hooks are WRITTEN in, and the market their evidence is scraped from. en (default) | fr | es | ar (Modern Standard Arabic) | ary (Moroccan Darija, Arabic script). NOT a translation layer: the brief researches the topic as it is actually discussed in that language, the platform evidence is fetched from that language's region with transcripts in that language, and the judge scores register in it rather than against English. Omit for English. Same price in every language. | |
| platform | No | Target platform, which selects the length/format conventions the hooks are written and scored against. Defaults to tiktok when omitted. | tiktok |
| verbosity | No | How much of the response envelope to return: minimal (identity, text, score total/source, money, honesty warnings, and any persona/shape), standard (the default, including hook receipts), full (adds per-dimension score numbers, notes, and attribution). A failing phone_test survives minimal; passing phone_test, say_it, and pattern_source are standard/full detail. Shapes the RESPONSE only, never what is generated, persisted, hashed for idempotency, or charged. | standard |
| archetypes | No | Restrict generation to these archetype ids (see list_archetypes). Omit to let the engine spread across archetypes, which is what you want unless you are deliberately narrowing a deck. | |
| deadline_ms | No | Milliseconds you are willing to block, 1000-600000. If the chosen mode's p90 exceeds it the call returns IMMEDIATELY with auto_job:true + a job_id to poll with get_job instead of generating inline. Omit to disable deadline conversion; an exact keyed async job may still own the request. | |
| idempotency_key | No | Caller-chosen replay key (any string, unique per intended effect). A repeat call with the SAME key returns the stored result and is NEVER charged twice; the same key with different arguments is an idempotency_conflict. Omit and every call is a fresh, separately charged operation. | |
| requested_market | No | Caller-declared target market or locality, up to 100 characters. This is not inferred or verified and does not override today's language-derived evidence region. Recorded in commission identity and retained async-job snapshots. It does not change retrieval, prompts, scoring, pricing, or generated text yet. | |
| requested_dialect | No | Caller-declared desired dialect or register, up to 100 characters. This is not an observed-language or classifier result. Recorded in commission identity and retained async-job snapshots. It does not change retrieval, prompts, scoring, pricing, or generated text yet. | |
| creator_profile_id | No | Exact owned profile id. Send with creator_profile_version and without inline creator/audience/stance/first_person_facts. | |
| first_person_facts | No | Optional: facts TRUE of this creator that hooks may assert first-person ('I have filmed 200+ weddings'). The ONLY sanctioned source of personal claims; without it, hooks never invent a biography. | |
| footage_constraints | No | Up to 10 caller-declared filming or edit constraints, each up to 200 characters. Recorded in commission identity and retained async-job snapshots. It does not change retrieval, prompts, scoring, pricing, or generated text yet. | |
| delivery_constraints | No | Desired spoken performance or cadence, up to 300 characters, distinct from the broader style/voice field. Recorded in commission identity and retained async-job snapshots. It does not change retrieval, prompts, scoring, pricing, or generated text yet. | |
| desired_viewer_action | No | What the viewer should do after hearing the hook, such as keep watching, comment, or reconsider a belief, up to 300 characters. Recorded in commission identity and retained async-job snapshots. It does not change retrieval, prompts, scoring, pricing, or generated text yet. | |
| creator_profile_version | No | Exact immutable profile version paired with creator_profile_id. | |
| hook_length_constraints | No | Desired spoken-hook length, up to 200 characters, for example '8-12 words' or 'under 6 seconds'. Recorded in commission identity and retained async-job snapshots. It does not change retrieval, prompts, scoring, pricing, or generated text yet. | |
| desired_audience_feeling | No | How the audience should feel immediately after the hook, such as understood, curious, or challenged, up to 300 characters. Recorded in commission identity and retained async-job snapshots. It does not change retrieval, prompts, scoring, pricing, or generated text yet. | |
| requested_content_format | No | Desired production format: solo_talking_head, podcast, interview, yapping_monologue, voiceover, skit, montage, or other. This is a request, not a claim about any retrieved source. Recorded in commission identity and retained async-job snapshots. It does not change retrieval, prompts, scoring, pricing, or generated text yet. | |
| caller_confirmed_constraints | No | Up to 10 caller-confirmed request constraints from a prior clarification round, each up to 300 characters. Runtime-generated questions and model assumptions are execution receipts, not copied here or treated as approved automatically. Recorded in commission identity and retained async-job snapshots. It does not change retrieval, prompts, scoring, pricing, or generated text yet. |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| hint | No | auto_job path only: what to do next, in one sentence. |
| hooks | No | Ranked hooks, best first. Each is {id, text, archetype, score, claim_type, rank}. NOTE the key is `id`, and THAT is the hook id you pass to report_outcome(hook_id=...) / get_hook (where the same value is spelled `hook_id`). You pay per hook RETURNED, so this can be shorter than `count`. At standard/full, a judge-ranked smart hook may also carry {shape, phone_test, say_it}; a judge-ranked research hook carries receipts {persona, shape, phone_test, say_it, pattern_source}. pattern_source is null when no measured opener was attributed, otherwise its nested provenance is the authoritative actual platform, source surface, transcript method, language, route, media, and origin-time record. Minimal keeps persona and shape, plus phone_test only when it is the warning value 'fail'. |
| usage | No | LLM token usage {input_tokens, output_tokens, est_cost_usd} (+ web_searches and fallback_* counters when those paths ran). NULL means NO LLM ran, which is not the same as zero tokens. |
| engine | No | Which generator implementation produced the deck. |
| job_id | No | auto_job path only: poll it with get_job or block on wait_for_job. |
| reason | No | instant only, non-null when the template pool ran out: prose saying hooks were WITHHELD rather than duplicated. On a clause-topic it says outright that widening `archetypes` will not help, so do not retry that way. |
| status | No | auto_job path only: the job's lifecycle state ('queued'). |
| timing | No | What actually happened: {latency_ms, stages}. `stages` keys are mode specific (instant render_ms; smart llm_ms/judge_ms; research brief_ms/draft_ms/judge_ms). |
| auto_job | No | Present and true when deadline_ms created a job, or this exact key already owns the same async job, so the call returns a JOB instead of hooks. CHECK IT BEFORE READING `hooks`: on this path `hooks` is ABSENT and the body is the job pointer below (job_id, status, estimated_seconds, poll_after_seconds, status_url, expires_at, requeued, hint). Nothing is charged until the job runs. |
| replayed | No | true when an idempotency_key replayed a stored result, so nothing was charged again. The credits_charged below is what the ORIGINAL call cost. |
| requeued | No | auto_job path only: true when an idempotent resubmit revived an existing job. |
| research | No | mode research ONLY (null on instant/smart). The grounding ledger you paid for. Keys, and what to DO with each: - brief_summary (str), angles (list of {angle, detail, why_it_stops_scroll}), vocabulary (list of insider terms), tensions (list of conflicts/open questions): the brief itself. Reuse them to write more, do not re-buy them. - clean (bool): the ONE boolean separating a clean run from a salvaged one. clean:false WITH a full hook count is a partial-quality delivery at full price, which is otherwise invisible. Check it before trusting the deck. - degraded (bool), degraded_reason (str|null), degraded_stages (list of stage names), judge_skipped (bool): what went wrong and where. A judge-degraded run BILLS at the smart tier, so reconcile spend against pricing_mode, not mode_used. - rank_basis (str): what the served ORDER means: llm_judge | judge_order_no_scores | heuristic | unranked. Pairs with each hook's score.source, which says what its TOTAL means. Do not present a 'heuristic' order as a judged ranking. - stages (list): the per-stage ledger, uniform rows {stage, status, attempts, calls, latency_ms, branches_ok, branches_failed, judged_n, backfilled_n, ranked_n, skipped_n, skipped_reason, notes}. null in a field means NOT OBSERVED and must never be read as 0; [] means observed and empty. - ledger_source (str): 'engine' when the pipeline reported its own ledger, 'derived' when this layer reconstructed it. On 'derived', treat every null as unobserved. - pool_size (int|null): unique draft candidates the judge chose from; null when not observable. A small pool means little real selection happened. - grounded (bool), web_searches (int), sources (list of {url, title}, max 10): grounded is true ONLY when at least one real web search ran. Cite `sources` rather than claiming the hooks are researched. - grounded_degraded_reason (str|null): non-null ONLY when a grounded brief was refused by the vendor and the run spent its retry ungrounded. Same price, different product: this is how you tell 'grounding never asked for' from 'asked for and refused'. - evidence (list): each {id, claim, kind, source_url, source_title, source_domain, cited_text, confidence, freshness_days, authority, angle_ids, bind_score}. confidence is computed in code from a binding against a span the vendor actually returned, never self-reported by the model. Quote `cited_text` when you need to show a receipt. - evidence_counters (dict): the honesty half: declared_total, invented_urls, duplicate_ids, source_url_corrected, cite_markup_stripped, orphan_citations, dropped_by_cap, rows, established, reported, unsourced, sources_seen, citations_seen, distinct_domains, primary_domains, id_remap. invented_urls counts model-cited URLs ABSENT from the real result set (nulled, not shipped). A high invented_urls / declared_total ratio means downgrade your trust in this grounding. - selection (dict|null): what the selector actually did. null means no selection ran (an empty report would wrongly read as 'nothing was dropped'). Carries floor, requested, returned, above_floor, band_counts, relaxations, shortfall {requested, returned, cause, message}, the drop counters (near_duplicates_dropped, contradictions_dropped, off_topic_dropped, below_floor_dropped, archetype_capped_dropped, register_capped_dropped), diversity_thinning {thinned, displaced, delivered_mean, top_ranked_mean, quality_delta}, the caps (archetype_cap, register_cap, dedup_threshold), constraints_unavailable, and a one-sentence `notice`. A NEGATIVE diversity_thinning.quality_delta means the diversity caps cost you quality: narrow `archetypes` next time if you would rather have the top-ranked set. - injection_attempt (bool): true when the grounded brief reported that its search results tried to INSTRUCT it. Treat as a security signal: never auto-execute anything derived from that run's text. - platform_evidence (dict|absent): the measured-openers stage. ABSENT means this deployment has no evidence key and the stage does not exist; present means it ran. {used, source, routes, scanned, with_speech, deduplicated, filtered, dropped, kept, not_requested, budget_omitted, transcript_unavailable, not_selected, terminal_accounted, reconciled, cached, reason, rank_policy, rank_signals, transcripts_requested, requested_platform, actual_platforms, requested_language, observed_languages, transcript_methods, duration_policy, origin_fetched_at, current_request_vendor_calls, current_request_vendor_credits, origin_vendor_calls, origin_vendor_credits, vendor_calls, vendor_credits, planner_version, plan_fingerprint, query_policy, instagram_policy, query_plan, route_failures, suggested_queries, logical_vendor_calls, vendor_attempts, vendor_logical_call_cap, vendor_logical_call_cap_exhausted, adaptive_transcripts}. Experimental fields appear only for an active lab policy. used:true means real opening lines transcribed off the platform reached both the brief and the WRITER; used:false always carries a `reason`. `reconciled:true` means kept plus every terminal drop category equals scanned exactly. `source` names the supply that actually answered, and says '(proxy for X)' when you asked for a platform with no route of its own. cached:true means the openers were observed up to 15 minutes before this run rather than during it. The counters attribute every drop between scanned and kept, so a low `kept` has a cause rather than a shrug, and `dropped` breaks the qualification losses out by cause: views_below_minimum (the platform-reported count was below the inclusive 200,000-view eligibility floor, so no transcript was bought), language (the platform says the clip is SPOKEN in another language), ad (bought reach, so the view count does not measure the opening line), duration. Guarded native discovery also reports ad_unverified, duration_unverified, language_unverified, and format_unverified when the vendor did not establish a required fact. rank_policy says which clips became your evidence: 'blend' fuses raw views with outperformance (views over followers) and velocity (views per day), so a clip that escaped a small audience outranks a large account posting an ordinary result; 'views' is raw popularity. rank_signals lists the ones actually available, since not every route publishes follower counts or dates. origin_vendor_calls and origin_vendor_credits describe the fetch that populated the evidence. current_request_vendor_calls and current_request_vendor_credits are zero on a cache hit. vendor_calls and vendor_credits remain compatibility aliases for origin cost. None changes your price, which is fixed per hook. - clarification (dict|absent): present only when you passed clarify. {mode, sufficient, questions, assumptions, creator_context_declared}. sufficient:false with questions is the run telling you it generated WITHOUT knowing something it needed; answer them in creator_context and re-submit for a materially better set. - personas (dict|absent): {set, assumption, from_creator_context}. The speaker profiles the run inferred and wrote for. from_creator_context:false means the engine GUESSED who is talking, and `assumption` is the guess it made. |
| mode_used | No | The engine that actually ran (instant|smart|research) after aliases and auto were resolved. May differ from mode_requested. |
| shortfall | No | {requested, returned, cause} on EVERY response. `cause` is a closed vocabulary: 'none' on a full delivery, else template_pool / model_under_delivery / pool_exhausted. Branch on cause; never retry on 'none'. You were billed for `returned`, not `requested`. |
| base_price | No | Fixed part of the charge for this mode. |
| expires_at | No | auto_job path only: earliest terminal-row prune cutoff, ISO-8601 UTC. Queued/running rows are not deleted solely because this time passed. |
| rank_basis | No | verbosity=minimal ONLY, alongside degraded_stages: hoisted out of `research`; what the served ORDER means (llm_judge | judge_order_no_scores | heuristic | unranked). At standard/full read research.rank_basis. |
| request_id | No | Id of this call. Keep it: get_usage(request_id=...) itemises exactly what it charged, and it identifies the call in a support question. |
| status_url | No | auto_job path only: REST URL for the same status (HTTP clients). |
| llm_fallback | No | true when the requested LLM tier was unavailable and a cheaper engine ran instead; llm_fallback_reason says why. You are billed for what RAN. |
| pricing_mode | No | The tier billed, which is what price_per_hook belongs to. |
| expected_wait | No | {mode, p50_ms, p90_ms, source} for this mode, to size the NEXT call. |
| hook_instances | No | Immutable non-prose served-occurrence identities. Profile-bound queued/running work returns an empty list; a successful result returns one row per served hook. |
| mode_requested | No | The mode string you sent, before alias/auto resolution. |
| price_per_hook | No | Per-hook part of the charge for this mode. |
| prompt_version | No | Prompt build used, for reproducibility. |
| count_requested | No | The count you asked for, echoed so you never have to diff an array length against your own request. |
| credits_charged | No | Credits this call actually cost. |
| degraded_reason | No | verbosity=minimal ONLY, and only when non-null: hoisted out of `research` so the trimmed envelope still says WHY the run degraded. At standard/full read research.degraded_reason instead. |
| degraded_stages | No | verbosity=minimal ONLY, and only when non-empty: hoisted out of `research`; which stages to blame. At standard/full read research.degraded_stages. |
| grounding_refund | No | Non-null ONLY when you asked for research and the VENDOR REFUSED the web-search tool: the full pipeline still ran, so you are not billed as smart, but part of the research premium is waived. {credits_waived, list_price, pct_of_research_premium, reason, explanation}. This is why credits_charged can come in UNDER base_price + price_per_hook * hooks; research.grounded_degraded_reason says what the vendor said. |
| score_disclaimer | No | The honest limits of the scores above. Absent at verbosity=minimal. |
| credits_remaining | No | Your balance AFTER this charge. |
| estimated_seconds | No | auto_job path only: queue-aware estimate of total time to a result. |
| poll_after_seconds | No | auto_job path only: wait at least this long before the first get_job. |
| replayed_at_charge | No | true when the replay was detected at the charge boundary rather than up front; either way you are billed exactly once. |
| llm_fallback_reason | No | Why the fallback happened, or null. |
| judge_fallback_reason | No | smart/research only: why the judge did NOT rank this set, or null when it ran. Non-null means these score.totals are heuristic-scale, so never compare them against a judged run's totals. |
| resolved_creator_profile | No | Exact immutable creator-profile binding used by this occurrence. Null/absent for inline or unprofiled generation. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure, and it does so richly. It discloses cost structure, deterministic behavior, cancellation effects, idempotency requirements, async fallback, and error types, giving the agent a clear picture of side effects and constraints.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is dense and front-loaded with the core purpose, and each sentence adds substantive information. However, the block-with-newlines formatting is somewhat unstructured compared to clean bullets or separate sentences, though no content is wasted.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's 28 parameters and existing output schema, the description covers the most critical behavioral and operational context: pricing, cancellation, idempotency, async job handling, and error conditions. It does not explicitly address the relationship to batch generation, but the output schema and parameter descriptions cover many details, so it is reasonably complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema already has 100% parameter description coverage, so the baseline is 3. The tool description adds a high-level cost formula referencing mode and count, but it does not add per-parameter semantics beyond what the schema already provides.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The opening phrase 'Generate ranked, scored hooks for a topic' is a specific verb+resource statement that clearly identifies the tool's core function. However, it does not explicitly distinguish this tool from close siblings like generate_hooks_batch or remix_hook, so it misses the top score.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides operational guidance (e.g., auto_job polling, idempotency key usage, error handling) but does not state when to use this tool versus alternatives. There is no mention of generate_hooks_batch for batch scenarios or remix_hook for variations, so the agent is not told which sibling to prefer.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
generate_hooks_batchAInspect
Generate many topics in one atomic, all-or-nothing charged call. Each item bills base + per_hook * returned; divergent tiers report mixed pricing. One mode, key, and tags cover the batch; progress streams item i/n. CANCELLING DOES NOT REFUND. Send idempotency_key; a timeout cannot stop the engine. If auto_job is true, poll job_id before reading results. Profile pairs return resolved_creator_profile and immutable hook_instances in every verbosity. Errors: unauthorized, invalid_request, llm_unavailable, insufficient_credits.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| mode | No | Generation engine and therefore the price: instant (0 base + 1/hook, deterministic templates, sub-second), smart (0 + 2/hook, one LLM call, seconds), research (10 + 4/hook, brief->draft->judge, tens of seconds). Aliases: template|off|quick->instant, llm|on|fast->smart, search|deep|deep_research->research. Omit (or auto) -> smart when an LLM key is configured, else instant. | |
| tags | No | 1-5 lowercase slug tags ([a-z0-9_-], <=40 chars) stamped on this call's usage event so a fleet can attribute spend per campaign. Omit for no tagging. Filter later with get_usage(tag=...) / list_hooks(tag=...). | |
| stance | No | Optional: what the creator is for or against, selling, or building, so hooks carry a real position instead of a neutral summary. | |
| api_key | No | API key for this call. Omit to fall back to the Authorization: Bearer / X-API-Key request header (streamable-HTTP only), then the VHGENGINE_API_KEY env var (the stdio default). No key resolvable -> unauthorized. | |
| clarify | No | Request-sufficiency behaviour: 'ask' returns ONLY clarifying questions (uncharged, nothing generated) - relay them to your human, then re-submit enriched; 'auto' (default) proceeds and the research envelope carries the questions and proposed assumptions as observations; they do not currently change retrieval or writer prompts. 'off' skips the check. Batch and jobs accept only 'auto'/'off'. | |
| creator | No | Optional: who is speaking, free text ('wedding videographer, 40k followers, I talk to camera over b-roll of my shoots'). The more the engine knows about the creator, the more the hooks are theirs rather than a generic narrator's. | |
| audience | No | Optional: who watches ('engaged couples budgeting'). Aims every hook at a real audience instead of an assumed one. | |
| language | No | The language the hooks are WRITTEN in, and the market their evidence is scraped from. en (default) | fr | es | ar (Modern Standard Arabic) | ary (Moroccan Darija, Arabic script). NOT a translation layer: the brief researches the topic as it is actually discussed in that language, the platform evidence is fetched from that language's region with transcripts in that language, and the judge scores register in it rather than against English. Omit for English. Same price in every language. | |
| platform | No | Target platform, which selects the length/format conventions the hooks are written and scored against. Defaults to tiktok when omitted. | tiktok |
| requests | Yes | 1-20 items, each {topic, count?, archetypes?, style?}. Per-item `mode` is rejected: mode, tags, verbosity and idempotency_key are set ONCE for the whole batch. Unknown item keys are invalid_request. | |
| verbosity | No | How much of the response envelope to return: minimal (identity, text, score total/source, money, honesty warnings, and any persona/shape), standard (the default, including hook receipts), full (adds per-dimension score numbers, notes, and attribution). A failing phone_test survives minimal; passing phone_test, say_it, and pattern_source are standard/full detail. Shapes the RESPONSE only, never what is generated, persisted, hashed for idempotency, or charged. | standard |
| idempotency_key | No | Caller-chosen replay key (any string, unique per intended effect). A repeat call with the SAME key returns the stored result and is NEVER charged twice; the same key with different arguments is an idempotency_conflict. Omit and every call is a fresh, separately charged operation. | |
| requested_market | No | Caller-declared target market or locality, up to 100 characters. This is not inferred or verified and does not override today's language-derived evidence region. Recorded in commission identity and retained async-job snapshots. It does not change retrieval, prompts, scoring, pricing, or generated text yet. | |
| requested_dialect | No | Caller-declared desired dialect or register, up to 100 characters. This is not an observed-language or classifier result. Recorded in commission identity and retained async-job snapshots. It does not change retrieval, prompts, scoring, pricing, or generated text yet. | |
| creator_profile_id | No | Exact owned profile id. Send with creator_profile_version and without inline creator/audience/stance/first_person_facts. | |
| first_person_facts | No | Optional: facts TRUE of this creator that hooks may assert first-person ('I have filmed 200+ weddings'). The ONLY sanctioned source of personal claims; without it, hooks never invent a biography. | |
| footage_constraints | No | Up to 10 caller-declared filming or edit constraints, each up to 200 characters. Recorded in commission identity and retained async-job snapshots. It does not change retrieval, prompts, scoring, pricing, or generated text yet. | |
| delivery_constraints | No | Desired spoken performance or cadence, up to 300 characters, distinct from the broader style/voice field. Recorded in commission identity and retained async-job snapshots. It does not change retrieval, prompts, scoring, pricing, or generated text yet. | |
| desired_viewer_action | No | What the viewer should do after hearing the hook, such as keep watching, comment, or reconsider a belief, up to 300 characters. Recorded in commission identity and retained async-job snapshots. It does not change retrieval, prompts, scoring, pricing, or generated text yet. | |
| creator_profile_version | No | Exact immutable profile version paired with creator_profile_id. | |
| hook_length_constraints | No | Desired spoken-hook length, up to 200 characters, for example '8-12 words' or 'under 6 seconds'. Recorded in commission identity and retained async-job snapshots. It does not change retrieval, prompts, scoring, pricing, or generated text yet. | |
| desired_audience_feeling | No | How the audience should feel immediately after the hook, such as understood, curious, or challenged, up to 300 characters. Recorded in commission identity and retained async-job snapshots. It does not change retrieval, prompts, scoring, pricing, or generated text yet. | |
| requested_content_format | No | Desired production format: solo_talking_head, podcast, interview, yapping_monologue, voiceover, skit, montage, or other. This is a request, not a claim about any retrieved source. Recorded in commission identity and retained async-job snapshots. It does not change retrieval, prompts, scoring, pricing, or generated text yet. | |
| caller_confirmed_constraints | No | Up to 10 caller-confirmed request constraints from a prior clarification round, each up to 300 characters. Runtime-generated questions and model assumptions are execution receipts, not copied here or treated as approved automatically. Recorded in commission identity and retained async-job snapshots. It does not change retrieval, prompts, scoring, pricing, or generated text yet. |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| hint | No | auto_job path only: poll instruction. |
| engine | No | The generator implementation, or 'mixed' when items diverged. |
| job_id | No | auto_job path only: poll it with get_job or wait_for_job. |
| status | No | auto_job path only: the job lifecycle state. |
| timing | No | {latency_ms} for the whole batch. |
| results | No | One entry per item, in request order: {topic, hooks, pricing_mode, price_per_hook, base_price, credits, grounding_refund, timing, judge_fallback_reason, count_requested, shortfall, reason, research}. Every per-item key means exactly what the same key means on a single generate. Hook ids live at results[i].hooks[j].id. At standard/full, a judge-ranked smart hook may also carry {shape, phone_test, say_it}; a judge-ranked research hook carries receipts {persona, shape, phone_test, say_it, pattern_source}. pattern_source is null when no measured opener was attributed, otherwise its nested provenance is the authoritative actual platform, source surface, transcript method, language, route, media, and origin-time record. Minimal keeps persona and shape, plus phone_test only when it is the warning value 'fail'. |
| auto_job | No | Present and true when this key already owns the exact async multi-topic job. On this path `results` is absent; poll job_id/status_url instead. |
| replayed | No | true when an idempotency_key replayed a stored result, so nothing was charged again. The credits_charged below is what the ORIGINAL call cost. |
| requeued | No | auto_job path only: whether the existing job was requeued. |
| mode_used | No | The engine that ran, after aliases and auto were resolved; 'mixed' when items diverged. |
| base_price | No | Fixed part of the charge, or null when pricing_mode is mixed. |
| expires_at | No | auto_job path only: earliest terminal-row prune cutoff, ISO-8601 UTC. |
| rank_basis | No | verbosity=minimal ONLY, alongside degraded_stages: hoisted out of `research`; what the served ORDER means (llm_judge | judge_order_no_scores | heuristic | unranked). At standard/full read research.rank_basis. |
| request_id | No | Id of this call. Keep it: get_usage(request_id=...) itemises exactly what it charged, and it identifies the call in a support question. |
| status_url | No | auto_job path only: REST URL for the same job. |
| degraded_any | No | Wider signal than judge_fallback_any: true when any item ran off-tier for any reason, including a partial stage that still delivered a full hook count. |
| llm_fallback | No | true when ANY item fell back to a cheaper engine or a fallback provider. |
| pricing_mode | No | The tier billed across the batch, or 'mixed' when items fell back to different engines. On 'mixed', base_price/price_per_hook are null and each results[i] carries its own. |
| expected_wait | No | {mode, p50_ms, p90_ms, source} for the batch's tier. |
| hook_instances | No | Immutable non-prose served-occurrence identities. Profile-bound queued/running work returns an empty list; a successful result returns one row per served hook. |
| mode_requested | No | The mode string you sent, before alias/auto resolution. |
| price_per_hook | No | Per-hook part of the charge, or null when pricing_mode is mixed. |
| prompt_version | No | Prompt build used, for reproducibility. |
| credits_charged | No | Credits this call actually cost. |
| degraded_reason | No | verbosity=minimal ONLY, and only when non-null: hoisted out of `research` so the trimmed envelope still says WHY the run degraded. At standard/full read research.degraded_reason instead. |
| degraded_stages | No | verbosity=minimal ONLY, and only when non-empty: hoisted out of `research`; which stages to blame. At standard/full read research.degraded_stages. |
| score_disclaimer | No | The honest limits of the scores above. Absent at verbosity=minimal. |
| credits_remaining | No | Your balance AFTER this charge. |
| estimated_seconds | No | auto_job path only: queue-aware estimate of total time to a result. |
| judge_fallback_any | No | true when at least one item's hooks are HEURISTIC-scale because its judge did not rank them. Then results[i].judge_fallback_reason says which, and you must not rank topics by comparing avg(score.total) across items. At verbosity=minimal this key appears only when true. |
| poll_after_seconds | No | auto_job path only: wait at least this long before the first poll. |
| replayed_at_charge | No | true when the replay was detected at the charge boundary rather than up front; either way you are billed exactly once. |
| llm_fallback_reason | No | Why the first such fallback happened, or null. |
| resolved_creator_profile | No | Exact immutable creator-profile binding used by this occurrence. Null/absent for inline or unprofiled generation. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden and excels by disclosing non-obvious behaviors: 'CANCELLING DOES NOT REFUND', idempotency_key requirement, auto_job polling, and profile pair return behavior. However, it references 'auto_job' which is absent from the provided input schema, creating potential confusion.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is dense but efficient, front-loading the core purpose and then adding operational warnings, billing details, async behavior, and errors in a logical sequence. Every sentence earns its place without redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a 24-parameter batch tool with an output schema, the description covers critical operational aspects: atomicity, pricing, cancellation danger, idempotency, async polling, profile results, and error names. The only notable completeness gap is the auto_job parameter not appearing in the schema.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds valuable cross-parameter context: per-item pricing formula ('base + per_hook * returned'), batch-level scope of mode/key/tags, and idempotency guidance. The phantom auto_job reference slightly reduces reliability.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The opening sentence 'Generate many topics in one atomic, all-or-nothing charged call' gives a specific verb+resource+scope, clearly distinguishing this batch tool from the single-topic generate_hooks sibling. The name and description align perfectly.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description clearly conveys when to use this tool: when you need many topics generated in a single atomic, all-or-nothing call. It also warns about cancellation/refund policy and idempotency, but it does not explicitly name alternatives like generate_hooks or explicitly say when not to use it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_accountARead-onlyInspect
Return this account's state + remaining rate-limit budget. Free read.
`rate_limit` carries {limit, remaining, reset_epoch, reset_at, window_seconds} for
the per-account window, the same budget REST clients read from X-RateLimit-* headers.
Pace a fleet off `remaining` instead of discovering the ceiling by taking a
rate_limited mid-run; this read itself consumes one of those calls. No API key is
ever echoed back. Errors: unauthorized, rate_limited.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| api_key | No | API key for this call. Omit to fall back to the Authorization: Bearer / X-API-Key request header (streamable-HTTP only), then the VHGENGINE_API_KEY env var (the stdio default). No key resolvable -> unauthorized. |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| name | No | Display name given at signup. |
| No | Contact address if one was given at signup. | |
| credits | No | Current balance. |
| account_id | No | Your account id. |
| created_at | No | Account creation time, ISO-8601 UTC. |
| rate_limit | No | {limit, remaining, reset_epoch, reset_at, window_seconds} for the per-account window. Pace off `remaining`; limit 0 means limiting is disabled and remaining/reset are null. |
| api_key_prefix | No | Prefix of the key that authenticated this call. Never the key itself. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description goes beyond the readOnlyHint annotation by explaining that it is a 'free read' (likely not billing-consuming), that it counts against rate limit, that no API key is echoed back, and lists likely errors. This is rich behavioral context beyond structured metadata.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is front-loaded with the main purpose and then provides useful details in a structured way. It is slightly verbose with the rate_limit field listing, but every sentence adds value and it remains readable.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple read-only account info tool, the description covers purpose, usage guidance, rate-limit semantics, error cases, and response details (rate_limit fields). An output schema exists, so return values need not be described exhaustively, but the description provides ample context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, and the schema already fully documents the `api_key` parameter including fallback behavior. The description adds no new parameter information, so baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool returns the account's state and remaining rate-limit budget, which is a specific verb+resource combination. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like get_usage or list_keys by focusing on account-level rate-limit information.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description gives concrete usage guidance: use it to check `remaining` before pacing a fleet, and warns that the read itself consumes a rate-limit call. It does not explicitly name alternatives, but the context for when to use it is clear.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_activityARead-onlyInspect
See what this account's agents are doing: in-flight ops + recent ops. Free.
`in_flight` merges the live-ops registry (real stage/pct/eta mid-run) with your
queued/running jobs; `recent` is the last completed charged ops. Every row has a
human-readable message. The REST surface also offers an SSE feed at
GET /v1/activity/stream. Args: recent_limit (1-100, default 20), api_key.
Errors: unauthorized, rate_limited.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| api_key | No | API key for this call. Omit to fall back to the Authorization: Bearer / X-API-Key request header (streamable-HTTP only), then the VHGENGINE_API_KEY env var (the stdio default). No key resolvable -> unauthorized. | |
| recent_limit | No | Max completed rows in `recent`, 1-100. Does not limit `in_flight`, which always shows everything currently running. |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| recent | No | The last completed charged operations, sized by recent_limit. |
| in_flight | No | Live operations: the running-ops registry (real stage/pct/eta) merged with your queued and running jobs. Every row has a human-readable message. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description adds rich behavioral context beyond the readOnlyHint: it explains that in_flight merges a live-ops registry with queued/running jobs, recent contains last completed charged ops, each row has a human-readable message, and it even mentions the SSE feed. It also discloses error conditions like unauthorized and rate_limited.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is well-structured and front-loaded with the main purpose, then expands into details. The 'Free.' sentence and markdown formatting add some noise, but all sentences carry useful operational information (args, errors, SSE feed).
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a read-only activity tool with an output schema and an annotation, the description is thorough: it covers the distinction between in_flight and recent, mentions the SSE alternative, lists errors, and parameter behavior. There is no significant missing context that would prevent an agent from using the tool correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so the input schema already fully documents api_key and recent_limit. The description only repeats the arg names and limits, adding no new meaning beyond the schema definitions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool shows 'what this account's agents are doing' with 'in-flight ops + recent ops', providing a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes itself by covering agent activity rather than generic jobs/runs, though it does not explicitly name sibling tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Usage is implied through the description of the activity overview ('See what this account's agents are doing'), but there is no explicit guidance on when to use this instead of alternatives like list_jobs or list_runs, and no exclusions are provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_creator_profileARead-onlyInspect
Get the current or one exact historical creator-profile version. Read scope.
Foreign, deleted, and unknown ids all return the same not_found envelope. Returns
the same profile object as REST. Errors: unauthorized, forbidden, not_found,
invalid_request, rate_limited.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| api_key | No | API key for this call. Omit to fall back to the Authorization: Bearer / X-API-Key request header (streamable-HTTP only), then the VHGENGINE_API_KEY env var (the stdio default). No key resolvable -> unauthorized. | |
| version | No | Exact immutable version; omit for the current version. | |
| profile_id | Yes | Account-owned creator profile id returned by create/list profiles. |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |

| rights_notice_version | No | Immutable rights-attestation notice version. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations only declare readOnlyHint=true, but the description adds valuable behavioral context: uniform not_found envelope for foreign/deleted/unknown IDs, return consistency with REST, and a specific error list. This exceeds annotation coverage and provides useful operational expectations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise and front-loaded with the core purpose. The additional sentences about error envelopes and REST parity are useful, though the error list could be considered slightly verbose for a description. Overall, it earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple read-only tool with full schema descriptions, an output schema, and a read-only annotation, the description is comprehensive: it covers purpose, version selection, edge-case behavior, error types, and return consistency. The context is complete enough for an agent to select and invoke the tool correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Since the input schema has 100% parameter description coverage, the description adds little beyond the schema. It echoes the version behavior ('current or one exact historical') but does not meaningfully enhance parameter understanding. Baseline 3 applies.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's function: 'Get the current or one exact historical creator-profile version.' It uses a specific verb (Get) and resource (creator-profile version), and the scope ('current or one exact historical') differentiates it from sibling list/create/delete/update profile tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage by focusing on a single profile version with an optional version parameter, which distinguishes it from listing all profiles. However, it does not explicitly mention alternatives like 'use list_creator_profiles to list all profiles', so it falls short of full usage guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, and the description adds meaningful context: it's free, requires no auth, and explains the source field's behavior (measured vs default) and advice. This goes beyond the structured annotation without contradicting it.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single dense sentence with the return structure embedded. It front-loads the core purpose ('measured/expected wait per generation mode') and immediately notes free/no-auth. While the nested return format is heavy, every phrase earns its place with no fluff.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a parameterless, read-only endpoint with an output schema, the description delivers everything needed: purpose, usage timing, cost/auth status, and a detailed return-shape. There are no gaps for the intended use case.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The tool has zero parameters, so the schema provides no semantics. The description compensates by fully describing the return object: op, modes, per-mode p50/p90 timings, sample counts, source, and advice. This gives complete meaning to the tool's output.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's function: returning measured/expected wait times per generation mode. The phrase 'Size a call before spending' gives a specific, actionable purpose that distinguishes it from cost-related siblings like quote or pricing.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides clear context for when to use the tool ('before spending') but does not explicitly mention alternatives or exclusions. It implies a pre-call sizing use case, which is sufficient guidance without being exhaustive.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_hookARead-onlyInspect
Fetch one bought hook in full, including its parsed score. Free (WP-G).
Account-scoped: a foreign or unknown id is not_found (no existence leak). Args:
hook_id (from a generate/batch/remix response or list_hooks), api_key. Returns
{hook_id, text, archetype, claim_type, mode, platform, topic, score_total, score,
prompt_version, request_id, created_at, outcomes:[...], outcome_summary:{count,
max_views, avg_views}}. Report results with report_outcome. Errors: unauthorized,
not_found, rate_limited.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| api_key | No | API key for this call. Omit to fall back to the Authorization: Bearer / X-API-Key request header (streamable-HTTP only), then the VHGENGINE_API_KEY env var (the stdio default). No key resolvable -> unauthorized. | |
| hook_id | Yes | The hook's id, as returned in the `hooks[].hook_id` of a generate/batch/remix response or by list_hooks. Account-scoped: an id you do not own reads as not_found. |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| mode | No | Engine that produced it (instant|smart|research|remix). |
| text | No | The hook line. |
| score | No | Per-dimension score breakdown. |
| topic | No | Topic it was generated from. |
| hook_id | No | The hook's id. |
| outcomes | No | Outcomes you have reported against this hook. |
| platform | No | Platform it was written for. |
| archetype | No | Archetype it was written in. |
| claim_type | No | What kind of claim it makes. |
| created_at | No | When it was generated, ISO-8601 UTC. |
| request_id | No | The generate call that bought it. |
| score_total | No | Total craft score. |
| prompt_version | No | Prompt build that produced it, for reproducibility. |
| outcome_summary | No | {count, max_views, avg_views} over those outcomes. |
| contains_placeholder_stat | No | true when the text carries an unverified number you must replace before posting (e.g. '90% of people'). Treat as an edit-before-use flag. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Even though readOnlyHint annotation already signals a safe read, the description adds meaningful behavior: account-scoping with no existence leak, error types (unauthorized, not_found, rate_limited), cost (free), and a hint to report results via report_outcome. These details go well beyond 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is well-organized with a clear purpose sentence followed by scoping, args, returns, and errors. It is slightly redundant with the schema's parameter descriptions, but each section carries useful information and the overall length is appropriate for the tool.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description covers the full context: what the tool does, how to obtain the required ID, account scoping behavior, return structure, error conditions, and a follow-up action (report_outcome). Even with an output schema present, the explicit return field list and error handling make this highly complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema already has 100% coverage for both parameters, with detailed descriptions for hook_id and api_key. The description merely restates the parameter sources without adding new meaning, so it meets the baseline but does not exceed it.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description starts with 'Fetch one bought hook in full, including its parsed score,' which precisely states the action and resource. It distinguishes from sibling list_hooks (which lists) and score_hook (which scores) by focusing on retrieval of a single detailed hook.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description tells you where hook_id comes from and that the call is free, but does not explicitly discuss when to use this versus alternatives like list_hooks or score_hook. Usage is inferred rather than directly guided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_jobARead-onlyInspect
Poll an async job: status, real engine stage, progress, ETA, result/error.
Poll after poll_after_seconds until status is "succeeded" (result holds the full
generate body) or "failed" (error holds the typed envelope). Only the owning
account can read a job; a foreign/unknown id is not_found (no existence leak).
Returns {job_id, status, stage, progress_pct, eta_seconds, elapsed_ms,
poll_after_seconds, result, error}. Errors: unauthorized, not_found, rate_limited.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| job_id | Yes | The job's id, as returned by start_generate_job (or by a generate_hooks call that auto-jobbed on deadline_ms). Account-scoped: an id you do not own reads as not_found. | |
| api_key | No | API key for this call. Omit to fall back to the Authorization: Bearer / X-API-Key request header (streamable-HTTP only), then the VHGENGINE_API_KEY env var (the stdio default). No key resolvable -> unauthorized. |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| error | No | On failure: the same typed error envelope a synchronous call returns. details.cancelled true means YOU cancelled it with cancel_job, not a fault. |
| stage | No | The real engine stage while running (e.g. brief, draft, judge). |
| job_id | No | The job polled. |
| result | No | On success: the FULL generate (or batch) body, always full-verbosity. At standard/full, a judge-ranked smart hook may also carry {shape, phone_test, say_it}; a judge-ranked research hook carries receipts {persona, shape, phone_test, say_it, pattern_source}. pattern_source is null when no measured opener was attributed, otherwise its nested provenance is the authoritative actual platform, source surface, transcript method, language, route, media, and origin-time record. Minimal keeps persona and shape, plus phone_test only when it is the warning value 'fail'. |
| status | No | queued (waiting on a worker), running, succeeded (see `result`), failed (see `error`). Stop polling on the last two. |
| elapsed_ms | No | Milliseconds since the job started running. |
| eta_seconds | No | Estimated seconds remaining. |
| progress_pct | No | 0-100 progress within the run. |
| hook_instances | No | Immutable non-prose served-occurrence identities. Profile-bound queued/running work returns an empty list; a successful result returns one row per served hook. |
| poll_after_seconds | No | How long to wait before polling again. |
| resolved_creator_profile | No | Exact immutable creator-profile binding used by this occurrence. Null/absent for inline or unprofiled generation. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With only readOnlyHint=true as annotation context, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It thoroughly explains polling semantics, terminal states, result/error payloads, ownership scoping (no existence leak), and possible errors (unauthorized, not_found, rate_limited). This goes well beyond the minimal annotation and provides rich, non-obvious behavioral details.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is front-loaded with the core purpose and then efficiently expands into polling behavior, ownership, return fields, and errors. Every sentence adds essential information with no redundancy or fluff. The structured layout aids readability without excessive length.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a poll-based async job tool, the description covers the full lifecycle: when to poll, how to interpret terminal statuses, the exact return shape, and error semantics. Even with an output schema likely existing, the description is self-sufficient for correct usage, including edge cases like not_found and rate_limited.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema covers both parameters (job_id and api_key) with descriptions, so baseline is 3. The description adds no parameter-specific syntax beyond what the schema already provides; it merely references the return field poll_after_seconds, which is not a parameter. Thus, it neither enriches nor detracts from parameter understanding.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
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: 'Poll an async job: status, real engine stage, progress, ETA, result/error.' This clearly identifies the tool's function and distinguishes it from siblings like list_jobs (listing) and cancel_job (cancelling), without needing to read beyond the first line.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides a clear usage pattern: 'Poll after poll_after_seconds until status is succeeded or failed.' It also notes ownership constraints and not_found behavior. However, it does not explicitly mention alternatives such as wait_for_job or list_jobs for similar polling scenarios, so differentiation relies on context rather than explicit exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
getting_startedARead-onlyInspect
The 5-step agent quickstart: modes, wait guidance, links. Free, no auth.
Written to be parsed and acted on. Returns {what_this_is, five_steps, modes
(cost + live latency + when to use), wait_guidance (expected_wait, estimates,
progressToken, jobs), links}.

| links | No | Docs and endpoint links. |
| modes | No | One entry PER MODE (a list, not a map): {mode, base, per_hook, formula, p50_ms, p90_ms, latency_source, when_to_use}. |
| evaluate | No | How to judge output quality, including the public bake-off. |
| payments | No | How to top up: add_credits and create_checkout. |

| fleet_accounting | No | How tags and per-key caps attribute spend across a fleet. |
| response_shaping | No | How verbosity changes what you get back. |
| data_and_deletion | No | Retention and what delete_account keeps. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Beyond the readOnlyHint annotation, the description discloses the exact return structure ({what_this_is, five_steps, modes, wait_guidance, links}) and adds specifics like 'cost + live latency' and 'expected_wait, estimates, progressToken, jobs.' It also clarifies authentication requirements ('no auth') and that it is free, providing valuable context not captured in annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two compact sentences with a clear bullet-like list of returned fields. It is front-loaded with the core purpose and avoids redundancy. Every sentence adds value, making it highly efficient.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple, zero-parameter tool with an output schema, the description provides complete context: what it is, what it returns, authentication, cost, and intended use. It even elaborates on output structure beyond the schema, making it fully self-contained for an agent.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The tool has zero parameters, so the baseline is 4. The description correctly omits parameter details and focuses on output, which is sufficient. Schema coverage is trivially 100% with no params, and no additional parameter semantics are needed.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool is a '5-step agent quickstart' covering modes, wait guidance, and links. This distinguishes it from the operational sibling tools (e.g., get_job, create_key) which perform specific actions. The verb 'quickstart' and resource scope make the purpose unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies this is the first tool to use by calling it a 'quickstart' and noting it is 'written to be parsed and acted on.' It also mentions 'Free, no auth,' indicating it can be called without prerequisites. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use it or compare it to alternatives, though no real alternatives exist among siblings.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_usageARead-onlyInspect
Return the credit balance, per-operation totals, and recent ledger. Free.
Args: recent_limit (1-200, default 50), offset (>=0, pages `recent` past the newest
rows), request_id (scope recent to that call's charges), tag + key_prefix (WP-J
fleet filters), api_key. Returns {credits, totals:{by_operation}, recent:[...]}
(each row carries key_prefix; tags in metadata).
Errors: unauthorized, invalid_request, rate_limited.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| tag | No | Filter to rows carrying EXACTLY this fleet tag (exact match, not a substring). Omit for every tag. | |
| offset | No | Rows to skip before `recent` starts, for paging past the newest page. Page with offset += recent_limit, exactly like list_hooks and list_outcomes; an offset past the end is an empty `recent`, never an error. `totals` always covers all history and is never paged away. For the WHOLE ledger in one call use export_usage instead. | |
| api_key | No | API key for this call. Omit to fall back to the Authorization: Bearer / X-API-Key request header (streamable-HTTP only), then the VHGENGINE_API_KEY env var (the stdio default). No key resolvable -> unauthorized. | |
| key_prefix | No | Filter to charges made with ONE api key, identified by the 12-char prefix from list_keys (e.g. vhg_sk_ab12). Omit for every key. | |
| request_id | No | Scope `recent` to the charges of ONE earlier call: pass the request_id that call RETURNED (or its X-Request-Id header), never a freshly minted id. An id that charged nothing matches no rows and comes back as an empty `recent`, not an error. Omit for all recent charges. | |
| recent_limit | No | Max recent ledger rows to return, 1-200. Totals are unaffected by this; it only sizes `recent`. |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| recent | No | Recent charge rows, newest first, sized by recent_limit. Each carries the operation, credits, key_prefix, request_id and tags in metadata. |
| totals | No | {by_operation: {op: {calls, credits}}} over the whole account lifetime. |
| credits | No | Current balance. |
| unreported_hooks | No | How many bought hooks still have no outcome, i.e. how much free reward is on the table. Find them with list_hooks(unreported=true). |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The annotation readOnlyHint=true already signals a safe read operation. The description adds value with error types (unauthorized, invalid_request, rate_limited), a 'Free' cost note, and a clear return shape including legacy metadata. It does not contradict annotations and provides additional behavioral context beyond the safety flag.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is compact and well-structured: first the one-sentence purpose, then a parameter summary, return shape, and errors. Each line earns its place and there is no repetition of schema fields. The formatting with line breaks aids scannability.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With an output schema present and readOnly annotation, the description is comprehensive: it covers scope, defaults, pagination hints, error conditions, and free usage. It even notes what each row carries. For a 6-param read-only tool, this leaves no critical gaps evident.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents all six parameters precisely. The description's condensed parameter list (e.g., 'tag + key_prefix (WP-J fleet filters)') adds mild conceptual grouping but no new syntax or semantics. This meets the baseline expected when schema handles param detail.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description opens with a specific verb ('Return') and three concrete resources (credit balance, per-operation totals, recent ledger), making the tool's function unambiguous. It distinguishes itself from siblings by scoping to 'recent ledger' rather than whole-history exports (export_usage), even without naming alternatives.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description lacks an explicit statement of when to select this tool over related tools like export_usage or get_account. It implies usage by enumerating return values and mentioning 'Free,' but does not provide exclusions or alternatives. Thus it is adequate but not a strong usage guide.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_webhookARead-onlyInspect
This account's webhook (url + last delivery status; never the secret). Free read.
Args: api_key (read scope). Cost=free. Returns {url, created_at, last_delivery_status,
last_delivery_at, events}. Errors: unauthorized, not_found (none registered),
rate_limited.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| api_key | No | API key for this call. Omit to fall back to the Authorization: Bearer / X-API-Key request header (streamable-HTTP only), then the VHGENGINE_API_KEY env var (the stdio default). No key resolvable -> unauthorized. |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| url | No | The registered endpoint. |
| events | No | Event types being delivered. |
| created_at | No | Registration time, ISO-8601 UTC. |
| last_delivery_at | No | When that attempt happened, ISO-8601 UTC. |
| last_delivery_status | No | Status of the most recent delivery attempt. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Beyond the readOnlyHint annotation, the description adds critical behaviors: it never returns the secret, is free, requires read-scoped API key, and lists specific errors (unauthorized, not_found, rate_limited). This rich context helps the agent anticipate side effects and failure modes.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is front-loaded with the main purpose, followed by a structured Args/Errors list. It is compact but slightly dense in the second sentence; still every sentence earns its place, though it could be split for readability.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With an output schema present and thorough annotations, the description covers all essential context: return fields, error modes, authentication requirements, and cost. No critical gaps are apparent for a single-parameter read operation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema already covers the api_key parameter with 100% description coverage, including fallback mechanisms. The description adds only a minor 'read scope' note, which is already implied by the tool's read-only nature. Schema does the heavy lifting, so baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool retrieves the account's webhook URL and delivery status, explicitly excluding the secret. This distinguishes it from siblings like set_webhook, delete_webhook, and list_webhook_deliveries, which handle different aspects or collections.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies use when you need the account webhook details, but does not explicitly contrast with alternatives like list_webhook_deliveries or get_hook. No when-not-to-use or alternative references are provided, so guidance is implied rather than explicit.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
healthARead-onlyInspect
Deep health: DB read+write probe, worker/queue, backup + integrity. Free. Uses the same DB, backup, offsite, and integrity probes as GET /health; status is "ok" only when the DB reads and writes. Returns status/time/LLM, outcome, queue, backups, integrity, commission/source/extract readers, profile readiness, and source writer state. Readable schema 3 proves codec support only; readiness separately proves this process has the exact authorization, private queue, deletion, and immutable-lineage substrate. llm_configured never calls an LLM; check job_worker_alive before start_generate_job.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| time | No | Server time, ISO-8601 UTC. |
| status | No | 'ok' only when the DB both READS and WRITES (a write probe, not just a ping); 'unavailable' otherwise. |
| offsite | No | Off-volume upload health: {enabled, last_upload_at, last_status, remote_retained}. In-memory, no live S3 call. Null when status is unavailable. |
| version | No | Server version. |
| integrity | No | Weekly PRAGMA quick_check result: {last_check_at, ok}, both null before the first check has ever run. Null (the whole object) when status is unavailable. |
| backup_count | No | How many daily backups are retained. Null when status is unavailable. |
| last_backup_at | No | Newest nightly backup's timestamp, ISO-8601 UTC. Null before the first backup runs, or when status is unavailable. |
| llm_configured | No | Whether an LLM key is configured. false means smart/research are unavailable and mode=auto resolves to instant. A pure config read, never a live call. |
| job_queue_depth | No | Jobs queued and not yet claimed, across all accounts. Null when status is unavailable. |
| job_worker_alive | No | Whether this deployment runs the job worker. FALSE means start_generate_job would queue a job nothing executes: use generate_hooks instead. |
| outcomes_reported_total | No | Size of the shared outcome corpus (60s-cached COUNT). Null when status is unavailable. |
| extract_schema_read_versions | No | Permanent Extract schema versions this process can decode. A listed version does not enable extraction. |
| source_lineage_writes_enabled | No | Whether authoritative source/extract writers are active on this process. ARCH-103A2 intentionally reports false. |
| research_intent_writes_enabled | No | Whether schema-v4 research-intent writers and workers are active. API-105A intentionally reports false while its permanent readers are deployed. |
| commission_schema_read_versions | No | Permanent commission schema versions this process can decode. Schema 3 being listed does not by itself enable profile-bound generation. |
| creator_profile_generation_ready | No | Whether this process can safely execute exact schema-3 profile commissions: authorization, private queue ownership, deletion races, payload scrubbing, and immutable lineage are enforced. Public profile-reference input fields remain a separate surface contract. |
| source_asset_schema_read_versions | No | Permanent SourceAsset schema versions this process can decode. A listed version does not enable ingestion. |
| source_metric_schema_read_versions | No | Permanent source-metric observation schema versions this process can decode without enabling a metric writer. |
| research_result_schema_read_versions | No | Permanent standalone research result and occurrence schema versions this process can decode without enabling research delivery. |
| extraction_result_schema_read_versions | No | Permanent standalone extraction result and occurrence schema versions this process can decode without enabling extraction delivery. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description reveals several behavioral details beyond the readOnlyHint annotation: it never calls an LLM ('llm_configured never calls an LLM'), it reports on specific subsystems (queue, backups, integrity, source writer state), and it clarifies that schema readability is not equivalent to readiness. No contradiction with annotations; the readOnlyHint is consistent with a diagnostic probe. The disclosure is thorough, though it could explicitly state that the probe performs no writes.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is front-loaded with the core purpose ('Deep health:...'), then expands with necessary details. It is dense but every sentence adds value, covering return fields, semantic differences, and operational guidance. It could be slightly trimmed, but it remains well-structured and not wasteful.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has no parameters and an output schema exists, the description goes beyond what's necessary by explaining what key return fields mean, how to interpret readiness vs schema, and what to check before starting a job. It provides complete context for an agent to correctly use this tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has zero parameters, and the description need not explain any. Baseline for no params is 4, and the description appropriately focuses on the tool's behavior and return values instead of adding unnecessary parameter info.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states a specific verb+resource: 'Deep health: DB read+write probe, worker/queue, backup + integrity.' It distinguishes itself from sibling tools by being a health check rather than a job or account tool, and explicitly defines what 'ok' means. This makes the purpose immediately clear and distinct.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description gives concrete usage context: it mentions using the same probes as GET /health (indicating a deeper diagnostic), and explicitly warns to 'check job_worker_alive before start_generate_job'. It also differentiates what readiness proves versus schema readability, helping the agent decide when this tool is needed. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use it or name alternative tools beyond that one suggestion.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_archetypesARead-onlyInspect
List the hook archetypes with psychology, platforms, and templates. Free, no auth.

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description adds useful context beyond the readOnlyHint annotation: it states the operation is free and requires no auth, and it discloses the exact return shape. Since annotations already cover the read-only nature, the description provides complementary behavioral details.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two sentences, front-loaded with the main action, and includes a compact return format. Every sentence earns its place, providing both purpose and usage guidance without waste.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has no parameters, an output schema exists, and readOnlyHint is present, the description is fully sufficient. It covers what is returned, how to use the results, and cost/auth requirements, leaving no critical gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The tool has zero parameters, so schema coverage is trivially 100%. With no parameters to explain, the baseline is 4. The description adds value by explaining how the returned ids are used in other tools, which helps the agent understand the output's role.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'List' and the resource 'hook archetypes', specifying the included attributes (psychology, platforms, templates). It distinguishes itself from siblings like generate_hooks and remix_hook by showing how its output feeds into them.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies when to use it: to get archetype IDs for generate_hooks or remix_hook. It also notes 'Free, no auth' as a usage condition. However, it does not explicitly contrast with alternative listing tools (e.g., list_hooks) or state exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_billing_eventsARead-onlyInspect
Recent billing events (usage.recorded, credits.granted, credits.low). Free.
Newest first, paged with limit/offset like list_hooks and list_outcomes. Returns
{events:[{id, event_type, payload, created_at}], limit, offset, total}.
Errors: unauthorized, invalid_request, rate_limited.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | Max billing events to return, 1-200. Above the ceiling is an invalid_request, never a silent truncation. | |
| offset | No | Number of rows to skip for paging, 0-9223372036854775807. Page with offset += the limit you actually requested; `total` in the response is the unpaged count. The ceiling is SQLite's largest bindable integer: above it the read could only ever have been a 500, so it is a typed invalid_request instead. | |
| api_key | No | API key for this call. Omit to fall back to the Authorization: Bearer / X-API-Key request header (streamable-HTTP only), then the VHGENGINE_API_KEY env var (the stdio default). No key resolvable -> unauthorized. |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| limit | No | Page size actually applied. |
| total | No | Rows matching the filters IGNORING paging. |
| events | No | This page: {id, event_type, payload, created_at}. |
| offset | No | Offset this page started at. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, but the description adds substantial behavior: newest-first ordering, paging via limit/offset, response shape ({events, limit, offset, total}), and error types (unauthorized, invalid_request, rate_limited). This significantly exceeds the annotation and schema information.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is three concise sentences, front-loaded with purpose and cost, then paging, response format, and errors. No redundancy or unnecessary detail. Every sentence earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the presence of an output schema and detailed parameter schemas, the description still provides response shape and error conditions, making it complete for invocation. It doesn't cover every possible behavior, but for a simple list endpoint it is sufficient.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already explains limit, offset, and api_key thoroughly. The description only adds that limit/offset are used for paging, which is marginal. Baseline 3 is appropriate as the schema does the heavy lifting.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the resource (billing events) and the action ('Recent billing events'), enumerates specific event types (usage.recorded, credits.granted, credits.low), and differentiates from siblings by focusing on billing events only. The verb and resource are specific and unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides clear context: it's a paged list with limit/offset like list_hooks and list_outcomes, and notes it's free. However, it doesn't explicitly state when not to use it or direct users to alternative tools for other event types, so it lacks explicit exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_creator_profilesARead-onlyInspect
List current creator-profile versions, newest changed first. Free; read scope.
Returns {profiles, limit, offset, total}. Each profile carries its immutable
version, declarations, current secondary-use decisions, consent receipts, and
unverified-attestation warning. Errors: unauthorized, forbidden, invalid_request,
rate_limited.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | Profile page size, 1-100. | |
| offset | No | Number of rows to skip for paging, 0-9223372036854775807. Page with offset += the limit you actually requested; `total` in the response is the unpaged count. The ceiling is SQLite's largest bindable integer: above it the read could only ever have been a 500, so it is a typed invalid_request instead. | |
| api_key | No | API key for this call. Omit to fall back to the Authorization: Bearer / X-API-Key request header (streamable-HTTP only), then the VHGENGINE_API_KEY env var (the stdio default). No key resolvable -> unauthorized. |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| limit | No | Page size actually applied. |
| total | No | Profiles owned by this account before paging. |
| offset | No | Offset this page started at. |
| profiles | No | Current profile objects in this page. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Beyond the readOnlyHint annotation, the description discloses the free cost, the exact return shape ({profiles, limit, offset, total}), per-profile contents (immutable version, declarations, consent receipts), and possible error types. This adds substantial value over annotations alone.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is compact and front-loaded with the main purpose in the first sentence. Subsequent sentences add distinct value—return structure and errors—without redundancy or fluff.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With rich parameter schemas, an output schema, and a readOnly annotation, the description adds sufficient context about ordering, response contents, and error cases. It is fully adequate for an agent to invoke the tool correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, with each parameter having a detailed description. The description only echoes limit/offset in the return shape, adding no new parameter semantics beyond the schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb ('List'), the resource ('current creator-profile versions'), and a distinguishing trait ('newest changed first'). This effectively differentiates it from sibling tools like create_creator_profile or get_creator_profile.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides clear context for use ('Free; read scope', listing versions) but does not explicitly name alternatives or exclusions. The appropriate use case is strongly implied rather than explicitly contrasted with siblings, so it misses a 5.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_hooksARead-onlyInspect
List the hooks this account has bought, newest first. Free (WP-G).
Retrievable for 90 days. Args: mode (instant|smart|research|remix, or a generate
alias such as template/search), since (ISO timestamp), tag (exact fleet-tag match),
topic (substring), request_id (recover one charged call's hooks), unreported (only
hooks a first outcome report can reward), limit (1-100), offset, api_key. Returns
{hooks:[{hook_id, text, archetype, mode, score_total, created_at, request_id}],
limit, offset, total}. Errors: unauthorized, invalid_request, rate_limited.| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| tag | No | Filter to hooks carrying EXACTLY this fleet tag: a lowercase slug of 1-40 chars of [a-z0-9_-], matched LITERALLY. `_` is a legal tag character and is NOT a wildcard here, and neither is `%`; there is no pattern matching. Omit for every tag. | |
| mode | No | Filter to hooks bought from this engine. Canonical stored values: instant|smart|research|remix; the generate aliases (template|off|quick, llm|on|fast, search|deep|deep_research) are accepted and resolved to their canonical value. Omit for every mode. | |
| limit | No | Max hooks to return, 1-200. Above the ceiling is an invalid_request, never a silent truncation. | |
| since | No | Return only rows created at or after this UTC timestamp. Compared LEXICALLY against stored 'YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ' values, so pass that exact format (a date-only string or a unix epoch silently selects the wrong window). Omit for no lower bound. | |
| topic | No | Case-insensitive SUBSTRING match against the topic a hook was generated for (unlike `tag`, which is exact). Omit for every topic. | |
| offset | No | Number of rows to skip for paging, 0-9223372036854775807. Page with offset += the limit you actually requested; `total` in the response is the unpaged count. The ceiling is SQLite's largest bindable integer: above it the read could only ever have been a 500, so it is a typed invalid_request instead. | |
| api_key | No | API key for this call. Omit to fall back to the Authorization: Bearer / X-API-Key request header (streamable-HTTP only), then the VHGENGINE_API_KEY env var (the stdio default). No key resolvable -> unauthorized. | |
| request_id | No | Return ONLY the hooks produced by this request_id. This is the exact recovery filter: an agent that lost a generate response reads the request_id off list_runs (or its own log) and gets back precisely the hooks that call was charged for, with no guessing by topic or timestamp. An unknown or foreign request_id returns an empty page, never an error. | |
| unreported | No | true = only hooks with no outcome yet, i.e. the ones a first report_outcome can still earn a reward on. false = only hooks already reported. Omit for both. |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| hooks | No | This page: {hook_id, text, archetype, mode, score_total, created_at, request_id}. hook_id is what report_outcome and get_hook take. |
| limit | No | Page size actually applied. |
| total | No | Rows matching the filters IGNORING paging: the number to page through, not the number returned here. |
| offset | No | Offset this page started at. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Beyond the readOnlyHint annotation, the description adds cost (Free), data retention (90 days), error types (unauthorized, invalid_request, rate_limited), and the return shape. It does not contradict annotations. The limit discrepancy is noted but belongs to parameter semantics.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single compact paragraph, front-loaded with purpose, then a dense list of args and return/error info. Every sentence earns its place without verbosity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given 9 parameters and output schema, the description covers cost, retention, errors, and return structure. It is nearly complete, but the limit inaccuracy (1-100 vs schema's 1-200) creates a gap in reliable context, so not a 5.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with rich descriptions, so baseline is 3. The description summarizes parameters, but it incorrectly states 'limit (1-100)' while the schema allows 1-200. This active misinformation about a parameter range reduces trust and scores below baseline.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description starts with "List the hooks this account has bought, newest first," which is a specific verb+resource+scope statement. It clearly distinguishes from sibling tools like get_hook (single hook) and generate_hooks (creation).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides useful context: 'Free (WP-G)' and 'Retrievable for 90 days.' It implies when the tool can be used, but does not explicitly compare against alternatives or state exclusions. Despite no explicit alternatives, the context is clear enough for a 4.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_jobsARead-onlyInspect
List this account's jobs, newest first (summaries without the result blob).
Args: limit (1-200, default 50), offset (>=0), api_key. Returns {jobs:[{job_id,
status, stage, progress_pct, created_at, started_at, finished_at}], limit,
offset, total}. Errors: unauthorized, rate_limited.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | Max jobs to return, 1-200. Above the ceiling is an invalid_request, never a silent truncation. | |
| offset | No | Number of rows to skip for paging, 0-9223372036854775807. Page with offset += the limit you actually requested; `total` in the response is the unpaged count. The ceiling is SQLite's largest bindable integer: above it the read could only ever have been a 500, so it is a typed invalid_request instead. | |
| api_key | No | API key for this call. Omit to fall back to the Authorization: Bearer / X-API-Key request header (streamable-HTTP only), then the VHGENGINE_API_KEY env var (the stdio default). No key resolvable -> unauthorized. |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| jobs | No | Summaries: {job_id, status, stage, progress_pct, created_at, started_at, finished_at}. Fetch a result with get_job. |
| limit | No | Page size actually applied. |
| total | No | Jobs matching ignoring paging. |
| offset | No | Offset this page started at. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true. The description adds meaningful behavior beyond that: ordering (newest first), response fields (job_id, status, progress_pct, etc.), pagination semantics, and error types (unauthorized, rate_limited). This enriches the agent's understanding without contradiction.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is compact and well-structured with labeled Args, Returns, and Errors sections. Every sentence is informative, no fluff, and the main purpose is front-loaded in the first sentence.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the presence of output schema and fully detailed parameter descriptions, the description covers all essential aspects: purpose, response format, error cases, and parameter constraints. It is complete enough for an agent to use the tool correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, with each parameter having detailed descriptions (e.g., limit ceiling behavior, offset paging). The description merely restates parameter names and basic bounds, adding no new meaning beyond what the schema already provides.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses the specific verb 'List' with the resource 'this account's jobs' and adds 'newest first' and 'summaries without the result blob'. This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like get_job, which likely retrieves full job details.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description gives clear context by stating it returns summaries without the result blob, implying use for lightweight listing rather than full job retrieval. It does not explicitly name alternatives or say when not to use, but the context is clear enough.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_keysARead-onlyInspect
List this account's API keys as PREFIXES only (never the raw key). Admin scope.
Returns {keys:[{prefix, name, scopes, daily_credit_cap, spent_today, created_at,
revoked_at}]}, oldest first; revoked_at is null for an active key, scopes lists the
key's grant (WP-SCOPE), spent_today is its credits spent since UTC midnight. Your
signup key shows as name "default". Errors: unauthorized, forbidden, rate_limited.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| api_key | No | API key for this call. Omit to fall back to the Authorization: Bearer / X-API-Key request header (streamable-HTTP only), then the VHGENGINE_API_KEY env var (the stdio default). No key resolvable -> unauthorized. |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| keys | No | Oldest first. Each {prefix, name, scopes, daily_credit_cap, spent_today, created_at, revoked_at}; revoked_at null means still active, and the signup key shows as name 'default'. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Beyond the readOnlyHint annotation, the description discloses key behavioral details: it returns only prefixes, never the raw key; it provides the exact return object schema including field semantics (revoked_at null for active, spent_today since UTC midnight); and lists possible errors (unauthorized, forbidden, rate_limited). This is rich, non-obvious context that helps the agent understand side effects and constraints.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is front-loaded with the essential action and security constraint, followed by a compact but complete return structure explanation. Every sentence provides actionable information with no filler or redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the simple parameter set and the presence of an output schema, the description goes beyond by explaining ordering, field values, default key naming, and error conditions. It fully equips the agent to invoke the tool and interpret results without guessing.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema covers the only parameter (api_key) with a detailed description of its fallback behavior, achieving 100% schema coverage. The tool description adds no additional parameter-specific meaning (admin scope is not param-related), so the baseline score of 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's job: 'List this account's API keys as PREFIXES only (never the raw key).' It names the resource (API keys), the action (list), and adds a critical scope distinction ('Admin scope'), distinguishing it from sibling tools like create_key and revoke_key.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies when to use by stating 'Admin scope' and 'this account's API keys', giving clear context. It does not explicitly compare with alternatives or state when not to use, but the read-only listing purpose is clear from the context and sibling names.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_outcomesARead-onlyInspect
List the posted outcomes THIS account has reported, newest first. Free (WP-LIFE).
Retrieve submitted telemetry in bulk. Args: platform
(tiktok|instagram|youtube|x|linkedin|other), since (ISO timestamp), hook_id,
limit (1-200, default 50), offset (>=0), api_key. Rows include the feature snapshot.
Returns {outcomes:[...], limit, offset, total}. Errors: unauthorized,
invalid_request, rate_limited.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | Max outcomes to return, 1-200. Above the ceiling is an invalid_request, never a silent truncation. | |
| since | No | Return only rows created at or after this UTC timestamp. Compared LEXICALLY against stored 'YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ' values, so pass that exact format (a date-only string or a unix epoch silently selects the wrong window). Omit for no lower bound. | |
| offset | No | Number of rows to skip for paging, 0-9223372036854775807. Page with offset += the limit you actually requested; `total` in the response is the unpaged count. The ceiling is SQLite's largest bindable integer: above it the read could only ever have been a 500, so it is a typed invalid_request instead. | |
| api_key | No | API key for this call. Omit to fall back to the Authorization: Bearer / X-API-Key request header (streamable-HTTP only), then the VHGENGINE_API_KEY env var (the stdio default). No key resolvable -> unauthorized. | |
| hook_id | No | Filter to the outcomes reported against ONE hook (its id from list_hooks / a generate response). Omit for every hook. | |
| platform | No | Filter to outcomes reported for one platform. Omit for all. |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| limit | No | Page size actually applied. |
| total | No | Rows matching the filters ignoring paging. |
| offset | No | Offset this page started at. |
| outcomes | No | Each row is the reported outcome plus a snapshot of the hook at report time (hook_text, topic, mode, archetype, claim_type, score_total, score_source, prompt_version, tags). |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Beyond the readOnlyHint annotation, the description adds useful behavioral details: results are ordered newest first, scoped to the current account, include the feature snapshot, and return {outcomes, limit, offset, total}. It also discloses error conditions (unauthorized, invalid_request, rate_limited), which is valuable context for invocation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is front-loaded with a strong one-sentence purpose, followed by a structured block of args, return, and errors. It is slightly redundant ('List' versus 'Retrieve submitted telemetry') and includes the unclear 'Free (WP-LIFE)', so it isn't perfect, but it remains compact and organized for a tool with six parameters.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (six optional parameters, pagination, output schema), the description covers the essential operational context: account scope, ordering, bulk retrieval, return shape, authentication via api_key/headers/env var, and error cases. The presence of an output schema means detailed return field documentation is not required in the description.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema already covers all parameters with rich descriptions, so the baseline is 3. The description lists the parameters and some constraints (platform enum, since ISO timestamp, limit 1-200, offset >=0), but this largely repeats schema information without adding significant new meaning.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description opens with a specific verb+resource+scope: 'List the posted outcomes THIS account has reported, newest first.' This clearly identifies the operation and its account-specific scope, and it distinguishes list_outcomes from sibling list tools like list_hooks or list_runs.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description gives clear context for use ('Retrieve submitted telemetry in bulk') and notes the tool is free. It does not explicitly name alternatives or exclusion criteria, but the purpose is sufficiently clear that an agent can infer when to use it versus other listing tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_runsARead-onlyInspect
Every call this account was charged for, newest first. Free read.
Recover a lost response in two calls, never re-charged: list_runs(request_id=...)
for the receipt, then follow `hooks_url` for the hooks it produced. Page with
`cursor` (one pass total) or `offset`; stop only when `exhausted` is true, never
on a short page. Same composed read GET /v1/runs makes, so the two can never
disagree. Errors: unauthorized, invalid_request, rate_limited.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | Max runs to return, 1-200. Above the ceiling is an invalid_request, never a silent truncation. | |
| cursor | No | Ledger position to resume scanning from (see `next_cursor` on a prior page); not a run count, not an opaque token. Leave at 0 and follow `next_cursor` to walk your whole history in bounded reads. | |
| offset | No | Number of rows to skip for paging, 0-9223372036854775807. Page with offset += the limit you actually requested; `total` in the response is the unpaged count. The ceiling is SQLite's largest bindable integer: above it the read could only ever have been a 500, so it is a typed invalid_request instead. | |
| api_key | No | API key for this call. Omit to fall back to the Authorization: Bearer / X-API-Key request header (streamable-HTTP only), then the VHGENGINE_API_KEY env var (the stdio default). No key resolvable -> unauthorized. | |
| operation | No | Return only runs of this operation: generate_hooks, generate_hooks_batch, remix_hook, score_hook, score_hooks_batch, add_credits. An unknown value returns an empty page, never an error. | |
| request_id | No | Return only the run with this X-Request-Id (the response header on every call, including errors). This is the lookup for a lost response whose id you still have. | |
| charged_only | No | true (default): only calls that COST credits. false: also include grants and zero-cost calls. |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| runs | No | This page: {request_id, operation, created_at, credits_delta, credits_charged, balance_after, key_prefix, topic, topics, platform, mode, hooks_returned, tags, hooks_url, usage_url, metadata}. hooks_url is set only for a hook-producing operation and follows the SAME id. |
| limit | No | Page size actually applied. |
| total | No | Rows matching the filters WITHIN the scanned window (see `scanned`), not over all history unless `exhausted` is also true. |
| offset | No | Offset this page started at. |
| scanned | No | Ledger rows examined to build this page. |
| has_more | No | true when this page is not the whole remainder. Follow `next_cursor` (preferred) or `next_offset`; never infer 'that was all' from a short page. |
| exhausted | No | true only when the read reached the END of your ledger. `total` is the COMPLETE count only when this is true. |
| scan_limit | No | Ledger rows one page may examine, however many reads that takes. |
| next_cursor | No | Pass as `cursor` for the next page (leave offset at 0); null when nothing follows. PREFER this over next_offset for a full walk: it resumes exactly where this page stopped instead of re-scanning from the newest row. |
| next_offset | No | Pass as `offset` for the next page; null when nothing follows. |
| credits_remaining | No | Your balance right now. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Beyond the readOnlyHint annotation, the description discloses free/no-charge behavior ('Free read', 'never re-charged'), ordering ('newest first'), pagination semantics ('stop only when exhausted is true, never on a short page'), and consistency with the composed GET /v1/runs. It even lists error types. This is rich behavioral context above structured annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is compact yet information-dense: opening with the core purpose, then a practical recovery flow, paging rule, consistency guarantee, and error list. Every sentence serves a distinct role with no filler or repetition.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the 7 parameters are fully explained in the schema and an output schema exists, the description covers all necessary behavioral context: purpose, safety (free read), paging, error types, and a recovery workflow. It leaves no critical ambiguity for invocation or interpretation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema already contains detailed descriptions for all 7 parameters, so the baseline is 3. The description adds a bit by tying request_id to the lost-response recovery flow and cursor/offset to paging, but it does not add significant meaning beyond what the schema provides.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description opens with 'Every call this account was charged for, newest first' — a specific verb+resource+scope that clearly distinguishes this from list_hooks or list_billing_events. It also states 'Free read' and the primary use case (recovering lost responses), making the tool's purpose unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Provides a concrete use case: 'Recover a lost response in two calls... list_runs(request_id=...) for the receipt, then follow hooks_url'. Also gives paging instructions with cursor/offset and the exhausting condition. However, it does not explicitly contrast with sibling tools like list_hooks or list_billing_events, nor state when not to use it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_webhook_deliveriesARead-onlyInspect
List this account's webhook deliveries, newest first. Free read (WP-HOOKS).
Verify your receiver end-to-end (a webhook.test ping is enqueued at registration) and
diagnose failures without waiting out a real event. Args: status (pending|retrying|
delivered|dead|retired), limit (1-200, default 50), offset (>=0), api_key. Each row has
{delivery_id, event_type, status, attempts, last_status_code, error, timestamps,
next_attempt_at, payload_preview (200 chars; the full body is never returned)}. Dead
rows are kept 7 days. Errors: unauthorized, invalid_request, rate_limited.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | Max deliveries to return, 1-200. Above the ceiling is an invalid_request, never a silent truncation. | |
| offset | No | Number of rows to skip for paging, 0-9223372036854775807. Page with offset += the limit you actually requested; `total` in the response is the unpaged count. The ceiling is SQLite's largest bindable integer: above it the read could only ever have been a 500, so it is a typed invalid_request instead. | |
| status | No | Filter to deliveries in this state: pending (queued, not yet attempted), retrying (failed, backing off), delivered (2xx), dead (retries exhausted; redrive_webhook_delivery can requeue it), retired. Omit for all. | |
| api_key | No | API key for this call. Omit to fall back to the Authorization: Bearer / X-API-Key request header (streamable-HTTP only), then the VHGENGINE_API_KEY env var (the stdio default). No key resolvable -> unauthorized. |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| limit | No | Page size actually applied. |
| total | No | Deliveries matching the filter ignoring paging. |
| offset | No | Offset this page started at. |
| deliveries | No | Each {delivery_id, event_type, status, attempts, last_status_code, error, timestamps, next_attempt_at, payload_preview (200 chars; the full body is never returned)}. `dead` rows are kept 7 days and can be redriven. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Beyond the readOnlyHint annotation, the description adds critical behavioral details: 'Free read (WP-HOOKS)', 'payload_preview (200 chars; the full body is never returned)', 'Dead rows are kept 7 days', and a list of possible errors. These disclosures go well beyond what annotations provide and help the agent set expectations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is front-loaded with the one-sentence purpose, followed by a compact paragraph of usage, args, output fields, retention, and errors. The args summary is somewhat redundant given the rich schema, but it is brief and doesn't bloat the text. Overall well-structured and efficient.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity, the existing output schema, and the readOnlyHint annotation, this description covers all essential aspects: purpose, when to use, key output fields, important limitations, retention, and possible errors. Nothing critical is missing, and the presence of an output schema means the description needn't detail return values further.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema description coverage is 100% and each parameter already has detailed semantics (e.g., status enum, limit bounds, offset pagination, api_key fallback). The description's 'Args:' line merely restates parameter names and basic ranges, adding no new meaning beyond the schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description opens with 'List this account's webhook deliveries, newest first' — a specific verb, resource, and ordering that clearly distinguishes this from sibling tools like list_hooks and get_webhook. The scope ('this account's') and the delivery-specific focus make the purpose unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
It provides explicit context: 'Verify your receiver end-to-end (a webhook.test ping is enqueued at registration) and diagnose failures without waiting out a real event.' This tells the agent exactly when this tool is useful. It does not explicitly name alternatives, but the use case is clear enough and the sibling list reinforces differentiation.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
pricingARead-onlyInspect
The machine-readable price list, with per-mode expected_wait. Free, no auth.
Returns {unit, usd_per_credit (0 while credits are free), operations,
pricing_modes:{instant:{base:0,per_hook:1},smart:{base:0,per_hook:2},
research:{base:10,per_hook:4}} each with a formula, expected_wait, signup_grant,
low_balance_threshold}. A generate charge is base + per_hook * hooks_returned;
these are the exact constants the charge path uses.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| unit | No | Name of the billing unit (credits). |
| operations | No | Per-operation costs for the non-generate tools. |
| credit_packs | No | Buyable packs; pass one of these credit amounts as create_checkout(pack=...). |
| signup_grant | No | Credits a new account starts with. |
| expected_wait | No | Per-mode {p50_ms, p90_ms, source} latency, same as get_estimates. |
| pricing_modes | No | Per mode {base, per_hook, formula, expected_wait}. A generate charge is base + per_hook * hooks_RETURNED. |
| usd_per_credit | No | Cash price per credit; 0 while credits are free. |
| payments_enabled | No | false when Stripe is not configured: create_checkout then returns payments_disabled and add_credits is the only top-up path. |
| low_balance_threshold | No | Balance at which the credits.low webhook fires. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations declare readOnlyHint=true, and the description goes beyond by stating 'Free, no auth' and detailing the dynamic nature of usd_per_credit (0 while credits are free), plus the exact charge formula. This adds meaningful operational context not available from annotations alone.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is compact but information-dense. Each sentence adds value: identifies the resource, states free/no auth, lists return fields, and explains the charge formula. It is front-loaded with the core purpose, though the return structure could be compressed.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given this is a simple zero-parameter read operation with an output schema, the description is fairly complete. It covers the return shape, the meaning of key fields, and the exact formula. Minor omissions like response envelope are not critical for a static price list.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With zero parameters, there is nothing to document beyond the schema. The description enhances understanding by explaining the return structure and formula, which helps the agent interpret what the no-arg call returns, going beyond the output schema's type information.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly identifies the resource as the machine-readable price list and states it returns pricing constants, which distinguishes it from action-oriented siblings by indicating it contains the exact constants the charge path uses. However, it lacks an explicit verb like 'get' or 'retrieve', relying on 'Returns' to imply read behavior.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No explicit when-to-use or alternative tools are named. The description implies this is the canonical source for pricing constants via 'exact constants the charge path uses', but does not contrast with similar tools like quote or get_estimates. Thus usage guidance is present but not explicit.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
quoteARead-onlyInspect
Price and time a generate BEFORE you commit to it, without spending. Free.
Answers what you cannot otherwise learn without paying: which engine will BILL
(mode=auto resolves here), credits_max, expected_wait, and whether this key can
afford it now (balance AND any daily account/key cap, spelled out in `blocker`).
Same validation as generate_hooks, so a bad topic/archetype/mode fails HERE.
credits_max is a CEILING (you pay per hook RETURNED) and nothing is reserved.
Errors: unauthorized, invalid_request, rate_limited.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| mode | No | Generation engine and therefore the price: instant (0 base + 1/hook, deterministic templates, sub-second), smart (0 + 2/hook, one LLM call, seconds), research (10 + 4/hook, brief->draft->judge, tens of seconds). Aliases: template|off|quick->instant, llm|on|fast->smart, search|deep|deep_research->research. Omit (or auto) -> smart when an LLM key is configured, else instant. | |
| count | No | How many hooks you intend to ask for, 1-25. Drives the quoted ceiling: credits_max = base + per_hook * count. | |
| topic | Yes | The topic you intend to generate for, 3-200 chars. It is fully VALIDATED here, so a bad topic is an invalid_request now instead of after you commit to spending. | |
| api_key | No | API key for this call. Omit to fall back to the Authorization: Bearer / X-API-Key request header (streamable-HTTP only), then the VHGENGINE_API_KEY env var (the stdio default). No key resolvable -> unauthorized. | |
| platform | No | Target platform, which selects the length/format conventions the hooks are written and scored against. Defaults to tiktok when omitted. | tiktok |
| archetypes | No | Restrict generation to these archetype ids (see list_archetypes). Omit to let the engine spread across archetypes, which is what you want unless you are deliberately narrowing a deck. |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| count | No | The hook count quoted. |
| topic | No | The topic as validated (echoed back). |
| blocker | No | Null when affordable. Otherwise the SAME typed error block generate_hooks would have returned ({code, message, retriable, details, ...}), whose details.hint names the exact fix. |
| formula | No | The exact charge formula, so you can predict any other count. |
| platform | No | The platform quoted. |
| operation | No | The operation this quote prices ('generate_hooks'). |
| affordable | No | true when a generate with these arguments would pass every pre-flight gate (balance AND any daily account/key spend cap). Branch on THIS. |
| base_price | No | Fixed part of the charge for pricing_mode. |
| credits_max | No | The CEILING: base_price + price_per_hook * count. The real charge bills hooks RETURNED, so a short deck costs less. Never more than this. |
| pricing_mode | No | The tier that will actually be BILLED after aliases and auto were resolved: instant|smart|research. This, not mode_requested, is what the price belongs to. |
| credits_short | No | How many credits you are missing; 0 when affordable. Against a daily cap this is the gap to the remaining daily headroom, not to your balance. |
| expected_wait | No | {mode, p50_ms, p90_ms, source} for pricing_mode. Compare p90_ms against your own patience to choose sync vs start_generate_job + wait_for_job. |
| llm_configured | No | Whether this deployment has an LLM key. false means smart/research are unavailable and mode=auto resolves to instant. |
| mode_requested | No | The mode string you passed, before resolution; null if omitted. |
| price_per_hook | No | Per-hook part of the charge for pricing_mode. |
| recommendation | No | One sentence naming the next call to make. |
| credits_remaining | No | Your balance right now. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Beyond the readOnlyHint annotation, the description adds crucial behavioral context: the operation is free, 'nothing is reserved,' credits_max is a ceiling with payment per hook returned, and `blocker` spells out affordability limits including daily caps. It also lists exact error types (unauthorized, invalid_request, rate_limited). This significantly enriches the agent's understanding of side effects and constraints beyond a simple read-only flag.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is moderately long but well-structured: a one-sentence summary followed by a compact paragraph of key behaviors. Bolded terms like `credits_max` and `blocker` aid scanning. Every sentence adds information—pricing, validation, errors—without fluff. It earns a 4 rather than a 5 only because the information density is high and slightly verbose, but it remains efficient and front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
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 correctly avoids detailing return values. It covers all operational aspects needed: cost implications (free, nothing reserved), validation consistency with generate_hooks, affordability checks via `blocker`, and error conditions. The readOnlyHint annotation plus these details makes the tool fully understood in context, especially given the complexity of pricing modes.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema already provides 100% description coverage, so the baseline is 3. The description adds value by clarifying the financial semantics of credits_max (a ceiling, pay per hook returned) and explaining that mode=auto resolves to smart/instant depending on key configuration. This complements the detailed schema mode description and justifies a 4.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description opens with 'Price and time a generate BEFORE you commit to it, without spending,' which clearly identifies the tool as a pre-flight quote for the generate operation. It distinctly separates itself from generate_hooks by stating 'Same validation as generate_hooks' while being free and non-committal. It also lists what it answers (engine, credits_max, expected_wait, affordability), giving a precise verb+resource scope.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly says 'BEFORE you commit to it' and 'without spending,' indicating when this should be used. It also notes that mode=auto resolution happens here, which is a specific use case. However, it does not name an alternative tool for when NOT to use (e.g., when you are ready to commit, use generate_hooks directly), so it lacks a full exclusion statement.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
redrive_webhook_deliveryAInspect
Requeue a dead-lettered webhook delivery: reset to pending, due now. Admin scope.
Valid ONLY on a `dead` delivery (a live receiver that exhausted its retries); any other
status is a 409 conflict and a delivery you do not own is not_found. It re-attempts
through the normal pipeline and, if it dies again, dead-letters normally. Args:
delivery_id (from list_webhook_deliveries), api_key. Returns the refreshed row. Errors:
unauthorized, forbidden, not_found, conflict, rate_limited.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| api_key | No | API key for this call. Omit to fall back to the Authorization: Bearer / X-API-Key request header (streamable-HTTP only), then the VHGENGINE_API_KEY env var (the stdio default). No key resolvable -> unauthorized. | |
| delivery_id | Yes | The delivery to requeue, from list_webhook_deliveries. Only a `dead` row can be redriven; any other status is a conflict and a delivery you do not own is not_found. |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| error | No | Last failure reason, or null. |
| status | No | Reset to 'pending' and due now. |
| dead_at | No | When it was dead-lettered, or null once redriven. |
| attempts | No | Attempts so far; the redrive adds to this count. |
| created_at | No | When the delivery was first enqueued, ISO-8601 UTC. |
| event_type | No | The event this delivery carries. |
| delivery_id | No | The delivery that was requeued. |
| delivered_at | No | When it finally succeeded, or null. |
| next_attempt_at | No | When the pipeline will try again, ISO-8601 UTC. Null on a terminal row. |
| payload_preview | No | First 200 chars of the body; the full body is never returned. |
| last_status_code | No | HTTP status of the most recent attempt, or null. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden. It discloses the state reset, admin scope, validity constraints, error responses, and the re-attempt/dead-letter behavior. This is thorough and adds significant context beyond the schema.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is well-structured, front-loaded with the core purpose, and every sentence provides necessary detail. It efficiently uses a paragraph for constraints and a bullet-style list for errors, avoiding redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the presence of an output schema, the description doesn't need to detail return values, but it still covers all essential context: prerequisites, constraints, behavior, and errors. It is complete for a mutation tool with no annotations.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents both parameters thoroughly. The description lists 'Args: delivery_id ... , api_key' but adds minimal new meaning beyond what the schema provides, though it does note the source of delivery_id and the auth fallback behavior for api_key already in schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose with a specific verb and resource: 'Requeue a dead-lettered webhook delivery: reset to pending, due now.' It also distinguishes from siblings by focusing on the redrive action for dead deliveries, which is unique.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides explicit when-to-use and when-not-to-use conditions: 'Valid ONLY on a `dead` delivery' and specifies 409 conflict for other statuses. It also gives context about ownership and re-attempt behavior. However, it does not explicitly name alternative tools, though it references list_webhook_deliveries as the source for delivery_id.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
remix_hookAInspect
Rewrite an existing hook into a target archetype. 2 credits per variant.
Args: EXACTLY one of text or hook_id; target_archetype OR its alias archetype
(disagreeing spellings are a 400); count, tags, verbosity, api_key, idempotency_key.
Deterministic; billed only for variants returned. Returns {original:{text, score},
remixes:[{id, text, archetype, score, rank}], topic_core, reason, score_disclaimer,
credits_charged, credits_remaining, request_id}. Errors: unauthorized,
invalid_request, not_found, insufficient_credits, rate_limited.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| tags | No | 1-5 lowercase slug tags ([a-z0-9_-], <=40 chars) stamped on this call's usage event so a fleet can attribute spend per campaign. Omit for no tagging. Filter later with get_usage(tag=...) / list_hooks(tag=...). | |
| text | No | The existing hook to rewrite, 3-300 chars. Its subject is kept; only the angle moves to target_archetype. Pass this OR `hook_id`, never both and never neither. | |
| count | No | How many variants to produce, 1-5, at 2 credits each. You are billed only for variants actually returned. | |
| topic | No | The subject the hook was written FOR, scored as on score_hook: the verbatim-echo penalty only fires when the scorer is told the topic, so a hook (or a variant) that repeats its own subject scores up to 8 points higher without it and the rank order of the pack can differ. Only needed with `text`: a remix by `hook_id` reads the topic off the hook you bought. Sending both is fine when they are equal and a disagreement is a typed invalid_request rather than a silent winner. Omit for unchanged behaviour. | |
| api_key | No | API key for this call. Omit to fall back to the Authorization: Bearer / X-API-Key request header (streamable-HTTP only), then the VHGENGINE_API_KEY env var (the stdio default). No key resolvable -> unauthorized. | |
| hook_id | No | Remix a hook you ALREADY bought, by the id a generate/batch/remix response returned (also listed by list_hooks): the stored text is looked up for you, so you do not have to carry it back. Account-scoped, so an unknown or foreign id is the same not_found get_hook returns. Pass this OR `text`, never both and never neither. | |
| platform | No | The platform whose SCORING WINDOW grades these variants, as on generate_hooks and score_hook: LinkedIn's ideal hook length is 10-18 words against 8-14 elsewhere, so it moves both score.total and the rank order. Each variant's total is then reproducible through score_hook with the SAME platform, and the scale used is echoed back as `platform`. Omit for tiktok (unchanged behaviour). | |
| archetype | No | Alias for `target_archetype`, spelled the way every hook object in every response spells it. Send either one; sending both is fine only if they are equal, and a disagreement is a typed invalid_request rather than a silent winner. | |
| verbosity | No | How much of the response envelope to return: minimal (identity, text, score total/source, money, honesty warnings, and any persona/shape), standard (the default, including hook receipts), full (adds per-dimension score numbers, notes, and attribution). A failing phone_test survives minimal; passing phone_test, say_it, and pattern_source are standard/full detail. Shapes the RESPONSE only, never what is generated, persisted, hashed for idempotency, or charged. | standard |
| idempotency_key | No | Caller-chosen replay key (any string, unique per intended effect). A repeat call with the SAME key returns the stored result and is NEVER charged twice; the same key with different arguments is an idempotency_conflict. Omit and every call is a fresh, separately charged operation. | |
| target_archetype | No | Archetype id to rewrite INTO (see list_archetypes for ids and their psychology). `archetype` is an accepted alias for this argument; one of the two is required, there is no default angle. |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| reason | No | Why these rewrites fit the target archetype, or null. |
| remixes | No | The variants: {id, text, archetype, score, rank}. Billed per variant RETURNED, so this can be shorter than count. |
| original | No | {text, score} of what you passed in. |
| platform | No | The platform scoring window every total above was produced on. Score a variant through score_hook with this SAME platform to reproduce its number; a different window gives a different total and a different rank. null when the request named none, which means the tiktok default. |
| replayed | No | true when an idempotency_key replayed a stored result, so nothing was charged again. The credits_charged below is what the ORIGINAL call cost. |
| request_id | No | Id of this call. Keep it: get_usage(request_id=...) itemises exactly what it charged, and it identifies the call in a support question. |
| topic_core | No | The subject the remixer preserved from the original. |
| llm_fallback | No | true when the LLM remixer was unavailable and the deterministic one ran; llm_fallback_reason says why. You are billed for what RAN. |
| remix_engine | No | Which remixer produced the variants. |
| credits_charged | No | Credits this call actually cost. |
| score_disclaimer | No | The honest limits of the score attached above. |
| credits_remaining | No | Your balance AFTER this charge. |
| replayed_at_charge | No | true when the replay was detected at the charge boundary rather than up front; either way you are billed exactly once. |
| llm_fallback_reason | No | Why the fallback happened, or null. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden and does well: it discloses determinism, billing ('2 credits per variant,' 'billed only for variants returned'), error types, and the return envelope. It does not mention whether remixes are persisted or if the original is modified, but the return structure implies non-destructive behavior.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is front-loaded with the purpose, then compactly lists args, behavior, returns, and errors. It is dense but every sentence adds useful information. The use of a structured list makes it scannable.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For an 11-parameter tool with an output schema, the description covers billing, determinism, errors, and return fields. The omission of `topic` and `platform` from the arg summary is a minor completeness gap, but otherwise it is quite comprehensive.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds the useful 'EXACTLY one of text or hook_id' and the alias handling, but its 'Args:' list omits `topic` and `platform`, which is a noticeable gap. It does not significantly enhance the schema details.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description opens with 'Rewrite an existing hook into a target archetype,' using a specific verb (rewrite) and resource (existing hook) with a clear target. This clearly distinguishes it from siblings like generate_hooks (create new) and score_hook (evaluate).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
It provides clear context: this tool is for rewriting an existing hook, and it states the required argument constraints (EXACTLY one of text/hook_id; target_archetype or alias). However, it does not explicitly mention alternatives or when not to use it, so it falls 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.

Report what a bought hook actually did once posted. FREE (WP-H). Caller-supplied, unverified, and not used by generation/scoring/retrieval today. Retained for possible future calibration; no view prediction. Args: hook_id, platform (tiktok|instagram|youtube|x|linkedin|other), posted_at, views/likes (0..1e11), retention_pct?, url?, api_key, idempotency_key. Caps 20/hook, 500/day; an exact duplicate is a conflict. Returns outcome + aggregate + reward. Errors: unauthorized, not_found, invalid_request, conflict, rate_limited.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| url | No | Public http(s) URL of the post, for your own audit trail. Must carry a host; omit entirely rather than passing a placeholder. | |
| likes | No | Likes at report time, >=0. Omit if you cannot read it. | |
| views | Yes | Views the post had accrued at report time, >=0. Required: caller-supplied and not independently verified; retained as the primary measure for possible future calibration. Generation, scoring, and retrieval do not consume outcomes today. Report again later (up to 20 reports per hook) to record how it matured. | |
| api_key | No | API key for this call. Omit to fall back to the Authorization: Bearer / X-API-Key request header (streamable-HTTP only), then the VHGENGINE_API_KEY env var (the stdio default). No key resolvable -> unauthorized. | |
| hook_id | Yes | Which bought hook this result belongs to: the hook_id from a generate/batch/remix response or list_hooks. Must be a hook you own. | |
| platform | Yes | Where the hook was actually posted. Required. | |
| posted_at | Yes | When it went live, ISO-8601 UTC ('YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ'). May be in the past; more than 48h in the FUTURE is invalid_request. | |
| retention_pct | No | Average view-through as a PERCENT, 0-100 (not a 0-1 fraction). Omit if the platform does not expose it. | |
| idempotency_key | No | Caller-chosen replay key (any string, unique per intended effect). A repeat call with the SAME key returns the stored result and is NEVER charged twice; the same key with different arguments is an idempotency_conflict. Omit and every call is a fresh, separately charged operation. |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| outcome | No | The stored row, as recorded. |
| replayed | No | true when an idempotency_key replayed a stored report. |
| aggregate | No | Rolled-up totals for this hook across every report you have made. |
| reward_credits | No | Credits granted for this report. Only a hook's FIRST report earns one, so later reports return 0. |
| credits_remaining | No | Your balance after the reward. Present only when one was granted. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden and does well: it discloses that data is unverified, not consumed by other functions, retained for calibration, and has no prediction power. It also states rate limits (20/hook, 500/day), duplicate conflict behavior, and a concise list of possible errors, giving clear expectations about the tool's behavior.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a dense paragraph but well-organized, opening with the primary purpose, then the data caveat, a compact parameter list, limits, and return/error summary. Every sentence provides necessary context, though formatting could be improved with line breaks for easier scanning. Appropriately sized for a 9-parameter tool with no annotations.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (9 parameters, no annotations) and that an output schema exists, the description covers all critical non-schema context: the post-posting use case, data trustworthiness, lack of immediate consumption, rate and conflict rules, and expected return payload. It is thorough enough for an agent to decide when and how to invoke it.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema already describes every parameter with detailed explanations (100% coverage), so the description adds little beyond listing the parameter names and a few inline comments like '(tiktok|instagram|youtube|x|linkedin|other)'. The high schema coverage sets the baseline at 3; the description doesn't meaningfully augment the schema's semantics.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description opens with 'Report what a bought hook actually did once posted,' which clearly states the action (report) and the resource (outcome of a bought hook). It distinguishes itself from siblings like score_hook and generate_hooks by emphasizing it reports actual results rather than predicting or generating.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explains that data is 'caller-supplied, unverified, and not used by generation/scoring/retrieval today,' clarifying it is for future calibration, not immediate use. This implies when to use it, though no explicit alternatives are named. It could be stronger with a direct 'use list_outcomes to view reported outcomes,' but it provides enough context to guide selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
revoke_keyAIdempotentInspect
Revoke the key with prefix (from list_keys): it stops working, others keep working.
Use to kill a leaked or old key. Args: prefix (the 12-char key prefix, e.g.
vhg_sk_ab12), api_key (a DIFFERENT active key to authenticate this call).
Returns {prefix, name, revoked, revoked_at, already_revoked}. You cannot revoke
your LAST active key (create a replacement first). Requires the admin scope. Errors:
unauthorized, forbidden, invalid_request (last key), not_found, rate_limited.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| prefix | Yes | The 12-char key prefix to kill, copied from list_keys (e.g. vhg_sk_ab12), NOT the plaintext key. Revoking is idempotent; you cannot revoke your last active key. | |
| api_key | No | API key for this call. Omit to fall back to the Authorization: Bearer / X-API-Key request header (streamable-HTTP only), then the VHGENGINE_API_KEY env var (the stdio default). No key resolvable -> unauthorized. |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| name | No | Its label. |
| prefix | No | The key that was revoked. |
| revoked | No | Whether the key is now revoked (true after a successful call). |
| revoked_at | No | When it was revoked, ISO-8601 UTC. |
| already_revoked | No | true when it was already revoked, i.e. this call changed nothing. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Beyond the idempotentHint annotation, the description adds substantial behavioral context: revoking is idempotent, it requires a DIFFERENT active key for authentication, it returns a specific object, and it enumerates error conditions (unauthorized, forbidden, invalid_request for last key, not_found, rate_limited). This fully discloses the tool's behavior and side effects.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a compact block with all essential information: purpose, args, return, constraints, and errors. While it's somewhat dense, every sentence contributes; it could be structured with bullets for easier scanning but remains efficient.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (revoking access), the description covers all necessary context: return format, error types, admin scope, last-key restriction, and authentication fallback. With an output schema present, it doesn't need to explain returns in more detail. It is fully sufficient for an agent to invoke correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds meaningful nuance beyond the schema by specifying that prefix comes from list_keys and is NOT the plaintext key, and that api_key must be a DIFFERENT active key. This enriches parameter understanding.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
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: 'Revoke the key with `prefix`' and immediately clarifies the effect ('it stops working, others keep working'). This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like create_key or list_keys, and references list_keys as the source of the prefix.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly states when to use: 'Use to kill a leaked or old key.' It also provides a key exclusion ('You cannot revoke your LAST active key (create a replacement first)') and notes the required admin scope, giving clear context for appropriate use.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
score_hookAInspect
Score any hook text on 5 dimensions with rewrite tips. 1 credit.
Deterministic heuristic scorer (no LLM). Args: text (3-300), platform, topic
(optional, reproduces generate's score via the verbatim-echo penalty), tags (1-5
fleet slugs, WP-J), verbosity (full keeps per-dimension attribution), api_key,
idempotency_key (replay not re-charged). Returns {score:{...,total}, verdict,
suggestions, confidence, disclaimer, credits_charged, credits_remaining, request_id}.
Errors: unauthorized, invalid_request, insufficient_credits, rate_limited.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| tags | No | 1-5 lowercase slug tags ([a-z0-9_-], <=40 chars) stamped on this call's usage event so a fleet can attribute spend per campaign. Omit for no tagging. Filter later with get_usage(tag=...) / list_hooks(tag=...). | |
| text | Yes | The hook line to score, 3-300 chars. Any text is accepted (it does not have to be one Hook Detector generated) and it is never persisted as a hook you own. | |
| topic | No | The subject this text was written FOR. Pass the SAME topic string a generate call used and this reproduces the exact score.total that generate served for the hook: the scorer's verbatim-echo penalty only fires when it is told the topic, so a hook that repeats its own subject scores up to 8 points higher without it. Omit to score the text on its own (unchanged behaviour). Two caveats on exactness: a hook flagged contains_placeholder_stat was scored with a fabricated-number penalty this cannot apply, and a total capped at the deterministic template ceiling says so in score.notes at verbosity=full. | |
| api_key | No | API key for this call. Omit to fall back to the Authorization: Bearer / X-API-Key request header (streamable-HTTP only), then the VHGENGINE_API_KEY env var (the stdio default). No key resolvable -> unauthorized. | |
| platform | No | Target platform, which selects the length/format conventions the hooks are written and scored against. Defaults to tiktok when omitted. | tiktok |
| verbosity | No | How much of the response envelope to return: minimal (identity, text, score total/source, money, honesty warnings, and any persona/shape), standard (the default, including hook receipts), full (adds per-dimension score numbers, notes, and attribution). A failing phone_test survives minimal; passing phone_test, say_it, and pattern_source are standard/full detail. Shapes the RESPONSE only, never what is generated, persisted, hashed for idempotency, or charged. | standard |
| idempotency_key | No | Caller-chosen replay key (any string, unique per intended effect). A repeat call with the SAME key returns the stored result and is NEVER charged twice; the same key with different arguments is an idempotency_conflict. Omit and every call is a fresh, separately charged operation. |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| score | No | Per-dimension scores plus `total`. |
| verdict | No | One-line read of the total. |
| replayed | No | true when an idempotency_key replayed a stored result, so nothing was charged again. The credits_charged below is what the ORIGINAL call cost. |
| confidence | No | How much weight to put on this score. |
| disclaimer | No | The honest limits of the scorer. Worth surfacing to your human. |
| request_id | No | Id of this call. Keep it: get_usage(request_id=...) itemises exactly what it charged, and it identifies the call in a support question. |
| suggestions | No | Concrete rewrite tips. |
| credits_charged | No | Credits this call actually cost. |
| credits_remaining | No | Your balance AFTER this charge. |
| replayed_at_charge | No | true when the replay was detected at the charge boundary rather than up front; either way you are billed exactly once. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full transparency burden and exceeds expectations. It discloses deterministic behavior, a fixed credit cost, idempotency replay without re-charging, that text is never persisted as owned, that verbosity only shapes the response, and lists potential error types. This is rich behavioral context.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description front-loads purpose and cost in the first sentence, then uses a compact structured list for arguments, returns, and errors. It is dense but well-organized; each sentence contributes concrete information without fluff.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given a fully described input schema, an output schema, and 7 parameters, the description covers the tool's purpose, key behavioral traits, return envelope, and error cases. It omits only explicit alternative guidance (e.g., when to prefer score_hooks_batch), but overall it is contextually complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, with detailed per-parameter descriptions already present (e.g., topic, verbosity, idempotency_key). The description's parameter summary is a condensed recap and adds little beyond what the schema provides, so the baseline of 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states a specific action and resource: 'Score any hook text on 5 dimensions with rewrite tips.' It also distinguishes itself as a 'Deterministic heuristic scorer (no LLM)', which separates it from generation tools. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from the sibling score_hooks_batch, so it is clear but lacks explicit sibling differentiation.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides clear context for when to use the tool: 'Score any hook text' and mentions that passing the same topic as generate reproduces generate's score. It does not explicitly state exclusions or name alternative tools (e.g., score_hooks_batch for multiple hooks), so the guidance is context-rich but not fully explicit.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
score_hooks_batchAInspect
Score many hooks ranked with best, or compare named SETS. 1 credit per text.
All-or-nothing charge. Plain: texts (1-25, each 3-300 chars). Self-test (E13):
compare=true + sets (2-4 named lists, <=25 texts total) INSTEAD of texts -> per-set
rankings + avg_score + winner + an honest winner_summary (same heuristic scorer
on every set, never view prediction). Also: platform, tags, verbosity, api_key,
idempotency_key. Returns {results, best, ...} or {sets, winner, winner_summary, ...}.
Errors: unauthorized, invalid_request, insufficient_credits, rate_limited.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| sets | No | Compare mode input: 2-4 NAMED variant lists, e.g. {"curiosity": ["..."], "contrarian": ["..."]}, each 1-25 texts and <=25 texts across all sets. Requires compare=true and excludes `texts`. Every set is scored by the SAME heuristic scorer, so the winner is a craft comparison, never a view prediction. | |
| tags | No | 1-5 lowercase slug tags ([a-z0-9_-], <=40 chars) stamped on this call's usage event so a fleet can attribute spend per campaign. Omit for no tagging. Filter later with get_usage(tag=...) / list_hooks(tag=...). | |
| texts | No | 1-25 hook lines (3-300 chars each) to score and rank. Use this OR sets, never both: texts is the plain ranked mode, sets is the compare mode. 1 credit per text either way. | |
| topic | No | What the hooks are about, 3-200 chars. Supply it to score these lines the way they were generated: the scorer penalises a line that only echoes its own topic back, and it cannot apply that penalty to a topic it was never told. Omit and the scores are topic-blind, so they will not match the numbers a topic-aware call was charged for. | |
| api_key | No | API key for this call. Omit to fall back to the Authorization: Bearer / X-API-Key request header (streamable-HTTP only), then the VHGENGINE_API_KEY env var (the stdio default). No key resolvable -> unauthorized. | |
| compare | No | Switch on compare mode, which requires `sets` and returns per-set rankings + a winner instead of one flat ranking. Leave false for the ordinary texts ranking. | |
| platform | No | Target platform, which selects the length/format conventions the hooks are written and scored against. Defaults to tiktok when omitted. | tiktok |
| verbosity | No | How much of the response envelope to return: minimal (identity, text, score total/source, money, honesty warnings, and any persona/shape), standard (the default, including hook receipts), full (adds per-dimension score numbers, notes, and attribution). A failing phone_test survives minimal; passing phone_test, say_it, and pattern_source are standard/full detail. Shapes the RESPONSE only, never what is generated, persisted, hashed for idempotency, or charged. | standard |
| idempotency_key | No | Caller-chosen replay key (any string, unique per intended effect). A repeat call with the SAME key returns the stored result and is NEVER charged twice; the same key with different arguments is an idempotency_conflict. Omit and every call is a fresh, separately charged operation. |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| best | No | Plain mode: the highest-scoring entry. |
| sets | No | Compare mode: per-set rankings and avg_score, keyed by your set names. |
| winner | No | Compare mode: the winning set name. |
| results | No | Plain mode: one scored entry per text, ranked. |
| replayed | No | true when an idempotency_key replayed a stored result, so nothing was charged again. The credits_charged below is what the ORIGINAL call cost. |
| request_id | No | Id of this call. Keep it: get_usage(request_id=...) itemises exactly what it charged, and it identifies the call in a support question. |
| winner_summary | No | Compare mode: an honest reading of the win. The same heuristic scorer runs on every set, so this is a craft comparison, never a view prediction. |
| credits_charged | No | Credits this call actually cost. |
| credits_remaining | No | Your balance AFTER this charge. |
| replayed_at_charge | No | true when the replay was detected at the charge boundary rather than up front; either way you are billed exactly once. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the transparency burden and does well: it discloses per-text pricing, all-or-nothing charging, the honest winner_summary (same heuristic scorer, never view prediction), return shapes, and expected error types. Minor gaps remain around rate limiting specifics or idempotency behavior, but those are partly covered in parameter descriptions.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The first line states the purpose, followed by a compact, organized breakdown of modes, pricing, returns, and errors. No filler or repetition; every sentence earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description covers both modes, charging, return shapes, and errors, and an output schema exists for field-level detail. It doesn't explicitly differentiate from score_hook, but the scope is clear and the parameter descriptions fill in remaining context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, with each parameter already richly described. The tool description adds high-level mode semantics (texts vs sets, counts) but does not add per-parameter syntax beyond what the schema provides, so a baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
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 ('Score many hooks ranked with `best`, or compare named SETS'), clearly distinguishing batch scoring from single-line scoring (score_hook). It also contrasts the two operating modes (plain ranking vs. compare sets) within the same tool.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description gives concrete usage guidance: 'Plain: texts (1-25, each 3-300 chars)' vs 'compare=true + sets ... INSTEAD of texts', plus the all-or-nothing charge. It does not explicitly say 'use this instead of score_hook for multiple texts', but the batch context and sibling naming make that implicit.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
set_webhookAInspect
Register (or replace) this account's webhook; the secret is returned ONCE. Admin scope.
Hook Detector POSTs signed job.succeeded/job.failed/credits.low (WP-M). `url` https, no
creds, public host; re-registering ROTATES the secret (a repeat call is not a no-op).
Verify via X-VHG-Signature: sha256=HMAC_SHA256(secret, raw_body); a webhook.test pings.
Args: url (1-2048), api_key (admin). Cost=free. Errors: unauthorized, forbidden,
invalid_request, rate_limited. Returns {url, secret, created_at, events, note,
test_delivery_id}.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| url | Yes | https:// endpoint that will receive signed event POSTs. Must be a public host with no embedded credentials. Re-registering ANY url rotates the signing secret, so this is not safe to blind-retry. | |
| api_key | No | API key for this call. Omit to fall back to the Authorization: Bearer / X-API-Key request header (streamable-HTTP only), then the VHGENGINE_API_KEY env var (the stdio default). No key resolvable -> unauthorized. |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| url | No | The endpoint now registered. |
| note | No | Human-readable summary, including the rotation warning. |
| events | No | Event types that will be delivered. |
| secret | No | HMAC signing secret, shown exactly once. Verify deliveries with X-VHG-Signature: sha256=HMAC_SHA256(secret, raw_body). |
| test_note | No | What that test delivery is and how to check it. |
| created_at | No | Registration time, ISO-8601 UTC. |
| test_delivery_id | No | A webhook.test ping enqueued immediately; look it up with list_webhook_deliveries to prove your receiver works. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It discloses that the secret is returned only once, re-registration rotates the secret, verification via X-VHG-Signature, webhook.test ping, admin scope, cost, and possible errors. This is exceptional transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is dense but every sentence adds value: purpose, behavior, verification, parameters, cost, errors, return fields. It is front-loaded with the core action and stays focused without any fluff.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite an output schema existing, the description does not need to explain returns but still lists them. It covers authentication, scope, cost, error types, event types, and side effects, making it a complete guide for safe invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description repeats url constraints (1-2048) and mentions api_key is admin, but the schema already includes detailed parameter descriptions including https requirements and rotation caution. No significant additional parameter meaning is added.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description opens with 'Register (or replace) this account's webhook', a specific verb and resource that clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like get_webhook or delete_webhook. It also notes the secret is returned once and admin scope, adding precision.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description states when to use the tool (register/replace) and explicitly warns that a repeat call rotates the secret and is not a no-op, i.e., when not to re-register blindly. It does not name alternative tools, so it falls short of full 5.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
signupAIdempotentInspect
Create an account and return your API key exactly once. No auth needed.
The entry point: an agent with nothing calls this and is productive immediately
(no CAPTCHA); new accounts get 500 credits. An idempotent replay returns the SAME
account with replayed:true and a NULL api_key (the plaintext is never stored), so
branch on `replayed`, never on the empty key. Cost: free.
Errors: invalid_request, idempotency_conflict, rate_limited.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | No | Display name for the account, 1-100 chars. Purely a label (it is never checked for uniqueness); defaults to 'agent'. | agent |
| No | OPTIONAL contact address. Never required, never verified, and never used to authenticate; the api_key is the only credential. | ||
| idempotency_key | No | Caller-chosen replay key (any string, unique per intended effect). A repeat call with the SAME key returns the stored result and is NEVER charged twice; the same key with different arguments is an idempotency_conflict. Omit and every call is a fresh, separately charged operation. |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| docs | No | Where to read more, keyed by topic. |
| note | No | Human-readable summary of the above. |
| api_key | No | The plaintext key, returned EXACTLY once. NULL on an idempotent replay (the plaintext is never stored), so store it on first sight: it cannot be re-read. |
| credits | No | Starting balance (500 on a fresh account). |
| replayed | No | true when this response replays an earlier signup with the same idempotency_key (and therefore carries no api_key); false on a fresh one. |
| account_id | No | Your account id. Not a credential. |
| created_at | No | Account creation time, ISO-8601 UTC. |
| next_steps | No | Ordered suggestions for what to call next. |
| memory_card | No | A compact block worth persisting into your own memory. |
| api_key_prefix | No | First 12 chars of the key, safe to log and to pass to revoke_key. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Beyond the idempotentHint annotation, it discloses critical behavior: idempotent replay returns the SAME account with replayed:true and NULL api_key, plaintext never stored, the need to branch on `replayed`, and a list of error codes. This is rich, non-redundant transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is dense and well-structured, front-loaded with the core purpose. Each sentence adds behavioral, cost, or error context, though the bullet-like formatting and extra details make it slightly longer than strictly necessary.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the detailed schema, output schema, and annotation, the description covers idempotency, auth requirements, credits, cost, and error cases. It fully prepares an agent to invoke this tool correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, with each parameter already well-documented. The description does not add significant parameter-specific semantics beyond what the schema provides, so the baseline of 3 applies.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description opens with a specific verb+resource ('Create an account and return your API key exactly once') and clearly positions it as the entry point for agents with nothing. This distinguishes it from siblings like get_account or create_key.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
It states this is the entry point 'an agent with nothing calls this', which clearly implies when to use it (no existing account/key). It does not explicitly name alternatives or when-not-to-use, but the context is clear enough.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
start_generate_jobAIdempotentInspect
Submit a generate as an async job; poll get_job for the result. Charge runs on the worker and results are full verbosity. Pass either one topic or 1-20 topics; both or neither is invalid_request. A job requires a live worker. Profile pairs are pinned: the 202 and every poll return resolved_creator_profile plus empty-then-populated immutable hook_instances. Errors: unauthorized, invalid_request, insufficient_credits, idempotency_conflict.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| mode | No | Generation engine and therefore the price: instant (0 base + 1/hook, deterministic templates, sub-second), smart (0 + 2/hook, one LLM call, seconds), research (10 + 4/hook, brief->draft->judge, tens of seconds). Aliases: template|off|quick->instant, llm|on|fast->smart, search|deep|deep_research->research. Omit (or auto) -> smart when an LLM key is configured, else instant. | |
| tags | No | 1-5 lowercase slug tags ([a-z0-9_-], <=40 chars) stamped on this call's usage event so a fleet can attribute spend per campaign. Omit for no tagging. Filter later with get_usage(tag=...) / list_hooks(tag=...). | |
| count | No | Hooks per topic, 1-25. With `topics` this applies to every subject, so the job's cost scales with count * len(topics). | |
| style | No | Voice/tone to match, <=200 chars. Honored as a real instruction by smart and research; on instant it only varies which deterministic template fillers are drawn, so it cannot change the voice there. Omit for the engine's default register. | |
| topic | No | Single subject for the job, 3-200 chars. Pass EITHER this or `topics`, never both and never neither. | |
| stance | No | Optional: what the creator is for or against, selling, or building, so hooks carry a real position instead of a neutral summary. | |
| topics | No | 1-20 subjects run as ONE job with ONE atomic charge; the result is the batch envelope instead of a single generate body. Pass EITHER this or `topic`. | |
| api_key | No | API key for this call. Omit to fall back to the Authorization: Bearer / X-API-Key request header (streamable-HTTP only), then the VHGENGINE_API_KEY env var (the stdio default). No key resolvable -> unauthorized. | |
| clarify | No | Request-sufficiency behaviour: 'ask' returns ONLY clarifying questions (uncharged, nothing generated) - relay them to your human, then re-submit enriched; 'auto' (default) proceeds and the research envelope carries the questions and proposed assumptions as observations; they do not currently change retrieval or writer prompts. 'off' skips the check. Batch and jobs accept only 'auto'/'off'. | |
| creator | No | Optional: who is speaking, free text ('wedding videographer, 40k followers, I talk to camera over b-roll of my shoots'). The more the engine knows about the creator, the more the hooks are theirs rather than a generic narrator's. | |
| audience | No | Optional: who watches ('engaged couples budgeting'). Aims every hook at a real audience instead of an assumed one. | |
| language | No | The language the hooks are WRITTEN in, and the market their evidence is scraped from. en (default) | fr | es | ar (Modern Standard Arabic) | ary (Moroccan Darija, Arabic script). NOT a translation layer: the brief researches the topic as it is actually discussed in that language, the platform evidence is fetched from that language's region with transcripts in that language, and the judge scores register in it rather than against English. Omit for English. Same price in every language. | |
| platform | No | Target platform, which selects the length/format conventions the hooks are written and scored against. Defaults to tiktok when omitted. | tiktok |
| archetypes | No | Restrict generation to these archetype ids (see list_archetypes). Omit to let the engine spread across archetypes, which is what you want unless you are deliberately narrowing a deck. | |
| idempotency_key | No | Caller-chosen replay key (any string, unique per intended effect). A repeat call with the SAME key returns the stored result and is NEVER charged twice; the same key with different arguments is an idempotency_conflict. Omit and every call is a fresh, separately charged operation. | |
| requested_market | No | Caller-declared target market or locality, up to 100 characters. This is not inferred or verified and does not override today's language-derived evidence region. Recorded in commission identity and retained async-job snapshots. It does not change retrieval, prompts, scoring, pricing, or generated text yet. | |
| requested_dialect | No | Caller-declared desired dialect or register, up to 100 characters. This is not an observed-language or classifier result. Recorded in commission identity and retained async-job snapshots. It does not change retrieval, prompts, scoring, pricing, or generated text yet. | |
| creator_profile_id | No | Exact owned profile id. Send with creator_profile_version and without inline creator/audience/stance/first_person_facts. | |
| first_person_facts | No | Optional: facts TRUE of this creator that hooks may assert first-person ('I have filmed 200+ weddings'). The ONLY sanctioned source of personal claims; without it, hooks never invent a biography. | |
| footage_constraints | No | Up to 10 caller-declared filming or edit constraints, each up to 200 characters. Recorded in commission identity and retained async-job snapshots. It does not change retrieval, prompts, scoring, pricing, or generated text yet. | |
| delivery_constraints | No | Desired spoken performance or cadence, up to 300 characters, distinct from the broader style/voice field. Recorded in commission identity and retained async-job snapshots. It does not change retrieval, prompts, scoring, pricing, or generated text yet. | |
| desired_viewer_action | No | What the viewer should do after hearing the hook, such as keep watching, comment, or reconsider a belief, up to 300 characters. Recorded in commission identity and retained async-job snapshots. It does not change retrieval, prompts, scoring, pricing, or generated text yet. | |
| creator_profile_version | No | Exact immutable profile version paired with creator_profile_id. | |
| hook_length_constraints | No | Desired spoken-hook length, up to 200 characters, for example '8-12 words' or 'under 6 seconds'. Recorded in commission identity and retained async-job snapshots. It does not change retrieval, prompts, scoring, pricing, or generated text yet. | |
| desired_audience_feeling | No | How the audience should feel immediately after the hook, such as understood, curious, or challenged, up to 300 characters. Recorded in commission identity and retained async-job snapshots. It does not change retrieval, prompts, scoring, pricing, or generated text yet. | |
| requested_content_format | No | Desired production format: solo_talking_head, podcast, interview, yapping_monologue, voiceover, skit, montage, or other. This is a request, not a claim about any retrieved source. Recorded in commission identity and retained async-job snapshots. It does not change retrieval, prompts, scoring, pricing, or generated text yet. | |
| caller_confirmed_constraints | No | Up to 10 caller-confirmed request constraints from a prior clarification round, each up to 300 characters. Runtime-generated questions and model assumptions are execution receipts, not copied here or treated as approved automatically. Recorded in commission identity and retained async-job snapshots. It does not change retrieval, prompts, scoring, pricing, or generated text yet. |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| job_id | No | Pass this to get_job. |
| status | No | Lifecycle state; 'queued' immediately after submit. |
| warning | No | Present only alongside worker_alive:false; says what to do instead. |
| replayed | No | true when an idempotency_key returned an EXISTING job rather than queuing a new one. Poll the returned job_id either way. |
| requeued | No | true when an idempotent resubmit revived an existing job. |
| expires_at | No | Earliest terminal-row prune cutoff, ISO-8601 UTC. Queued/running rows are not deleted solely because this time passed. |
| status_url | No | REST URL for the same status (HTTP clients only). |
| worker_alive | No | Present and FALSE only when no job worker will ever run this job. Then read `warning` and use generate_hooks instead of polling. |
| hook_instances | No | Immutable non-prose served-occurrence identities. Profile-bound queued/running work returns an empty list; a successful result returns one row per served hook. |
| estimated_seconds | No | Queue-aware estimate of total time to a result. |
| poll_after_seconds | No | Wait at least this long before the first get_job. Honor it. |
| resolved_creator_profile | No | Exact immutable creator-profile binding used by this occurrence. Null/absent for inline or unprofiled generation. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
It discloses several non-obvious behaviors beyond the idempotentHint annotation: charges run on the worker, results are full verbosity, profile pairs are pinned across 202 and polls, and hook_instances are 'empty-then-populated immutable.' It also lists relevant errors. These details add significant value and do not 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single dense paragraph with five sentences, each adding new information: async submission, charging, topic constraints, worker requirement, profile pinning, and errors. It is appropriately front-loaded and does not waste words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a tool with 27 parameters and an output schema, the description covers the essential workflow: async job, polling, topic validation, worker requirement, and error cases. However, it doesn't aggregate the repeated schema note that many optional fields are 'recorded but do not change retrieval/pricing/generated text yet,' which could be useful high-level context. Still, the output schema fills most gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has 100% coverage with detailed descriptions for each of the 27 parameters, so the baseline is 3. The description adds cross-parameter constraint ('Pass either one topic or 1-20 topics; both or neither is invalid_request') and highlights the topic-count relationship, which is valuable beyond individual parameter descriptions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's function: 'Submit a generate as an async job; poll get_job for the result.' It specifies the verb (submit), the resource (generate as an async job), and the follow-up action (poll get_job), which distinguishes it from synchronous or batch siblings like generate_hooks and generate_hooks_batch.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description gives clear usage context: to submit a job, poll get_job, pass either one topic or 1-20 topics, and ensure a live worker. It also notes error conditions. However, it doesn't explicitly mention when to choose this over alternatives like generate_hooks or generate_hooks_batch, though the async nature is implied.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
update_creator_profileAIdempotentInspect
Append a full immutable profile version with compare-and-swap. Admin scope.
expected_version prevents lost updates. Returns version+1, or unchanged:true when
the normalized full snapshot is identical. Optional idempotency_key replays safely.
Errors: unauthorized, forbidden, not_found, conflict, idempotency_conflict,
invalid_request, configuration_unavailable, rate_limited.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| stance | No | Optional: what the creator is for or against, selling, or building, so hooks carry a real position instead of a neutral summary. | |
| api_key | No | API key for this call. Omit to fall back to the Authorization: Bearer / X-API-Key request header (streamable-HTTP only), then the VHGENGINE_API_KEY env var (the stdio default). No key resolvable -> unauthorized. | |
| creator | No | Optional: who is speaking, free text ('wedding videographer, 40k followers, I talk to camera over b-roll of my shoots'). The more the engine knows about the creator, the more the hooks are theirs rather than a generic narrator's. | |
| audience | No | Optional: who watches ('engaged couples budgeting'). Aims every hook at a real audience instead of an assumed one. | |
| profile_id | Yes | Account-owned creator profile id returned by create/list profiles. | |
| display_name | Yes | Account-local profile label, 1-100 characters. | |
| secondary_use | No | Full replacement decisions; omit for all denied. Each secondary-use decision is independent and denied by default. These decisions are retained for governance only: generation, scoring, retrieval, and learning do not consume them today. | |
| idempotency_key | No | Caller-chosen replay key (any string, unique per intended effect). A repeat call with the SAME key returns the stored result and is NEVER charged twice; the same key with different arguments is an idempotency_conflict. Omit and every call is a fresh, separately charged operation. | |
| expected_version | Yes | Positive immutable profile version. | |
| authority_attested | Yes | I confirm that I am this creator or am authorized by them to store these declarations and use the selected immutable version when I later make an explicit profile-bound hook-generation request. VHGENGINE records this caller attestation; it does not verify identity, ownership, or legal authority. | |
| first_person_facts | No | Optional: facts TRUE of this creator that hooks may assert first-person ('I have filmed 200+ weddings'). The ONLY sanctioned source of personal claims; without it, hooks never invent a biography. | |
| subject_relationship | Yes | self, authorized representative, or organization representative. |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| stance | No | Caller-declared speaker stance. |
| creator | No | Caller-declared creator description. |
| version | No | Exact immutable version returned by this read or write. |
| audience | No | Caller-declared audience. |
| replayed | No | true when idempotency replayed the stored write. |
| unchanged | No | true when the normalized replacement matched exactly. |
| created_at | No | Profile creation time, ISO-8601 UTC. |
| is_current | No | Whether this immutable version is current. |
| profile_id | No | Opaque account-owned profile id. |
| updated_at | No | Current profile update time, ISO-8601 UTC. |
| display_name | No | Account-local profile label. |
| secondary_use | No | Three independent deny-by-default decisions. |
| current_version | No | Profile's current version. |
| attestation_note | No | Unverified-authority and non-consumption warning. |
| consent_receipts | No | Latest revision receipt for every decision. |
| authority_attested | No | The caller recorded the required authority attestation. |
| first_person_facts | No | Sanctioned caller-declared facts. |
| rights_notice_text | No | Exact immutable caller-authority notice text. |
| version_created_at | No | This version's creation time, ISO-8601 UTC. |
| consent_notice_text | No | Exact deny-by-default secondary-use notice text. |
| subject_relationship | No | Caller's declared relationship to the creator. |
| rights_notice_version | No | Immutable rights-attestation notice version. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Beyond the idempotentHint annotation, the description discloses admin access requirements, CAS behavior, return semantics ('version+1', 'unchanged:true'), idempotency-key replay safety, and a full error list. This substantially exceeds annotation coverage.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is compact—four lines covering purpose, behavior, and errors—with no filler. Key operational details are front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With an output schema present and a comprehensive input schema, the description covers the essential operational traits: versioning, CAS, idempotency, errors, and admin scope. It doesn't explicitly describe the immutable profile lifecycle, but that is implied and not critical for invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, but the description adds meaning for expected_version (prevents lost updates) and idempotency_key (replays safely), enriching the bare schema definitions. Other parameters are well-documented in the schema, so no further description needed.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description opens with 'Append a full immutable profile version with compare-and-swap,' which clearly states the action (append a version) and resource (creator profile), and distinguishes it from create/delete/get/list siblings through the immutable-versioning concept.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides clear usage context: admin scope, compare-and-swap for lost-update prevention, and idempotency-key replay semantics. It lacks explicit alternatives or when-not-to-use guidance, but the context is sufficient for an update operation.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
wait_for_jobARead-onlyInspect
Block until a job is terminal, then return it. Free, bounded, no poll loop.
Returns the EXACT get_job body plus timed_out, waited_ms and polls, so branch on
`status` exactly as you would with get_job. timed_out:true is NOT a failure, it
means the budget ran out: call again with the SAME job_id. Waiting neither cancels
nor charges; the worker charges when it runs the job either way. It returns
IMMEDIATELY with worker_alive:false + `warning` when no worker exists here.
Errors: unauthorized, not_found (unknown or foreign job_id), rate_limited.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| job_id | Yes | The job to wait on, as returned by start_generate_job (or by a generate_hooks call that auto-jobbed on deadline_ms). Account-scoped: an id you do not own reads as not_found. | |
| api_key | No | API key for this call. Omit to fall back to the Authorization: Bearer / X-API-Key request header (streamable-HTTP only), then the VHGENGINE_API_KEY env var (the stdio default). No key resolvable -> unauthorized. | |
| timeout_seconds | No | How long to block, 1-300 seconds. Keep it BELOW your own MCP client's request timeout, or the client gives up before this tool answers. Running out is not an error: you get timed_out:true plus the job's live state. |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| error | No | On failure: the same typed error envelope a synchronous call returns. details.cancelled true means YOU cancelled it with cancel_job, not a fault. |
| polls | No | How many get_job reads this call made on your behalf. |
| stage | No | The real engine stage reached (e.g. brief, draft, judge). |
| job_id | No | The job waited on. |
| result | No | On success: the FULL generate (or batch) body, always full-verbosity. At standard/full, a judge-ranked smart hook may also carry {shape, phone_test, say_it}; a judge-ranked research hook carries receipts {persona, shape, phone_test, say_it, pattern_source}. pattern_source is null when no measured opener was attributed, otherwise its nested provenance is the authoritative actual platform, source surface, transcript method, language, route, media, and origin-time record. Minimal keeps persona and shape, plus phone_test only when it is the warning value 'fail'. |
| status | No | queued, running, succeeded (see `result`) or failed (see `error`). With timed_out:false this is always succeeded or failed unless worker_alive is false. |
| warning | No | Present only alongside worker_alive:false; says what to do instead. |
| timed_out | No | true when timeout_seconds elapsed before the job finished. NOT a failure: call wait_for_job again with the SAME job_id, or poll get_job. |
| waited_ms | No | How long this call actually blocked. |
| elapsed_ms | No | Milliseconds since the job started running. |
| eta_seconds | No | Estimated seconds still remaining. |
| progress_pct | No | 0-100 progress within the run. |
| worker_alive | No | Present and FALSE only when the wait returned immediately because no job worker will ever run this job. Then read `warning`. |
| hook_instances | No | Immutable non-prose served-occurrence identities. Profile-bound queued/running work returns an empty list; a successful result returns one row per served hook. |
| poll_after_seconds | No | How long to wait before polling again; 0 once finished. |
| resolved_creator_profile | No | Exact immutable creator-profile binding used by this occurrence. Null/absent for inline or unprofiled generation. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Beyond the readOnlyHint annotation, the description discloses crucial behavioral traits: waiting is free, bounded, does not cancel or charge, returns immediately if no worker exists, and timed_out is not a failure. It also lists error conditions (unauthorized, not_found, rate_limited), going well beyond the annotation's minimal read-only indicator.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is compact yet thorough, with the core purpose in the first sentence and subsequent lines providing essential caveats. Every sentence adds value, and formatting (line breaks) improves readability without unnecessary verbosity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Even with an output schema present, the description explains the exact return shape (get_job body plus timed_out, waited_ms, polls), timeout semantics, the no-worker error path, and possible errors. This leaves no major gaps for a blocking-wait tool and gives the agent everything needed for correct invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with each parameter already well-described in the input schema. The description reinforces the timeout behavior and the job_id reuse pattern, but adds little new meaning beyond what the schema provides. Baseline 3 is appropriate when the schema does the heavy lifting.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description leads with a specific verb phrase 'Block until a job is terminal, then return it', clearly indicating the tool's core function. It further distinguishes itself from get_job by noting it returns the exact get_job body plus extra fields, making it distinct from a simple fetch.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
It establishes when to use this tool (when blocking on job completion is desired) and contrasts with get_job by sharing its output structure. The retry pattern on timeout ('call again with the SAME job_id') and the worker_alive:false edge case provide clear operational guidance, though it doesn't explicitly name alternative tools beyond get_job.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
