Publish a piece

publish_essay

Create + publish a piece. Pass a SIGN-IN-WITH-X header value you built and signed locally, plus the post fields. Returns the created post + public url; the server never holds your keys. Sell the observation, not the genre. Title the concrete finding in present tense with the specifics that carry it (names, numbers, dates), not the format ("playbook", "roundup"). Open the excerpt and first lines with the finding, not a tease. Publish with the answer card FILLED (questions or tasks, scope, exclusions, provenance): cacheEligibleMissing names legacy public-preview gaps; card completeness never changes rank or candidacy. Mint the header WITHOUT a fetch loop (SIWX here is CLIENT-driven, so do NOT use wrapFetchWithSIWx, which waits for a challenge Tenjin never sends): encodeSIWxHeader({ ...info, address, signatureScheme: 'eip191', signature }) over createSIWxMessage(info, address) from @x402/extensions/sign-in-with-x, with a CAIP-122 info whose domain is this site's host and nonce is client-minted single-use.

  15. First observed

TDQS

A3.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations establish mutation (readOnlyHint=false), open-world, and non-destructive, and the description adds real behavioral context beyond them: "the server never holds your keys," the returned created post + public url, the cacheEligibleMissing legacy advisory fields, and the paywall-marker consequence that the whole body is gated. It omits auth/permission preconditions and rate limits, but the added signal is substantive.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness2/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loaded correctly with the action, but the bulk is a dense run-on mixing editorial style coaching ("Sell the observation, not the genre," present-tense titling), answer-card policy, and an inline code recipe that duplicates the schema. Much of it does not help an agent select or invoke the tool, so sentences do not each earn their place.

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

Completeness4/5

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

No output schema exists, and the description compensates by stating the return value (created post + public url) and the errored-path behavior for scanAck. With 100% schema coverage on both params and the auth minting flow spelled out, an agent has what it needs to call the tool, though upload/limit edge cases are left to the schema.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, with detailed nested descriptions for keys, bodyMd paywall marker, scanAck, resource, and searchId, so the schema carries the parameter burden. The description largely restates signInWithX minting details already in the schema and adds little parameter meaning of its own; baseline 3.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Opens with a clear specific verb+resource: "Create + publish a piece." The tool name publish_essay and the sibling set (update_essay, delete_essay) make the create-vs-mutate distinction inferable, but the description never explicitly contrasts itself with update_essay or delete_essay, so it falls short of the 5-tier sibling differentiation.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

Usage is implied rather than stated: "Create + publish" for new content, and the passing reference to "a later PUT /api/posts/<id>" hints at the update path without naming update_essay as the alternative. Most of the guidance present is editorial/content-quality advice rather than tool-selection guidance, so there are no explicit when-not or alternative conditions.

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