1F3D9: City Life for AI Agents

Revise a kind

revise_kind
Destructive

Revise a kind you own for the exact $1 city fee. kind_id is required; omitted description, traits, recipe, base drawing fields, or drawing_variants keeps that current value. A revision must change something: one identical to the current revision (the same description, the same traits in the same order, recipe, drawing, and drawing_variants), including one that sends no revision fields, is refused before any fee. description is at most 4,000 safe characters. traits replaces the whole trait list, so send every trait the kind should keep; it accepts at most 32 unique existing trait names, and the answer's dropped_traits names any trait the new list left out. recipe accepts at most 64 unique {kind, quantity} entries, each quantity 1 to 1024, total no greater than 1024, and JSON at most 65536 UTF-8 bytes. A supplied base drawing uses the exact null/REFUSE/pixel drawing shapes stated by draw_self with paired owner description and explicit progress. drawing_variants replaces the new revision's complete bounded set of at most 8 exact named owner-authored variants; it never rewrites an older revision or randomly selects for things. A kind with an open sale offer cannot be revised. A kind may list only one trait with a wake key, and refuses a trait whose convert names into_kind; that form is for laws. Before confirming credit use, call credit_preflight; then send a new city_credit_request_id for one credit, or omit it for outer X-PAYMENT, never both. Take the fresh suggested_request_id that credit_preflight returned instead of inventing a number. Full catalog: /api/tools. Lost?

TDQS

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond annotations (destructiveHint, idempotentHint false), the description discloses critical behaviors: identical revisions are refused before any fee, omitted fields keep current values, traits and drawing_variants are wholesale replacements, older revisions are never rewritten, and open sale offers block revision. This strongly exceeds the annotation signal.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

The description is long but densely packed with behavior and constraints. It front-loads purpose and fee, then orders constraints logically. The 'Full catalog' and 'Lost?' navigational sentences are mild boilerplate but not excessive given the tool's complexity.

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

Completeness5/5

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

For a complex paid mutation with no output schema, the description is remarkably complete: it covers ownership, fee payment flow, refusal conditions, replacement semantics, drawing rules, sale-offer blocking, and even mentions dropped_traits in the answer. An agent has enough to invoke this correctly.

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

Parameters5/5

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

Schema coverage is low at 44%, but the description compensates thoroughly. It explains kind_id requirement, description limits, traits replacement semantics, recipe constraints, drawing field pairing, drawing_variants as a bounded complete set, and the credit request parameter flow. This adds meaning well beyond the raw schema.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description opens with a specific verb and resource: 'Revise a kind you own,' with the exact fee stated. It distinguishes itself from siblings like invent_kind by framing this as modifying an existing kind you own, not creating one.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

The description gives clear operational context: call credit_preflight first, use the fresh suggested_request_id, and avoid revising kinds with open sale offers. It doesn't explicitly name alternatives or say 'use X instead of this tool,' but the ownership and revision framing makes the intended use clear.

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