Submit Feedback

signals.feedback

Public: records explicit free-text user feedback about the Blueprint, this tool surface, or a specific principle/example. Captures two 1-5 ratings (rating_clarity, rating_usefulness), what_helped, what_missing, would_use_again, the task_type and surface, and an optional contact_email when permission_to_follow_up is true. WHEN TO CALL: ONLY when the user explicitly says they want to give feedback (e.g. 'can you log this as feedback', 'file this critique', 'send a bug report'). Use signals.report instead for value-moment metrics (rating validate's output 1-5). WHEN NOT TO CALL: proactively, silently, or to substitute for signals.report. Never harvest contact info without explicit permission_to_follow_up=true. BEHAVIOR: write-only, no auth required (open to all callers). Stores one feedback record, at rest in the UK. contact_email is stored ONLY when permission_to_follow_up=true, and that fact is confirmed back in the response so the user can see the privacy boundary. When permission_to_follow_up=true AND a valid contact_email is given, and only then, it also opens a support inbox item so a human can reply, and the free-text fields are sent to OpenAI for triage (severity and a short summary). The contact_email field is never part of that request, so keep personal data out of the free text. Separately, feedback sent while signed in, or whose follow-up email matches an account, may appear, pseudonymised and shortened, in our weekly lead-intelligence extract to OpenAI (US). private_session does not apply to this tool: it runs only when the user chooses to give feedback. REJECTION CODES (invalid_request): a call with no rating, no what_helped or what_missing comment and no would_use_again answer (task_type, surface and contact_email alone are not feedback); a rating outside 1-5; a contact_email that is not one plain address.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
surfaceNoWhich Blueprint surface the feedback is about. Use 'mcp' if the session was via Claude Code or another MCP client. Use 'principles', 'examples', 'guides', 'coaching', or 'validation' based on what the user interacted with.
task_typeNoWhat the user was doing when they decided to give feedback. Use plain English: e.g. 'code-review', 'architecture-design', 'agent-setup', 'onboarding', 'validation'. Infer from context.
what_helpedNoAsk the user: 'What was most helpful?' Record their answer verbatim or paraphrased in plain English. Max 1000 chars. No code snippets, no proprietary content.
what_missingNoAsk the user: 'What was missing or could be improved?' Record their answer verbatim or paraphrased. Max 1000 chars.
contact_emailNoOnly ask for this if the user explicitly says they want a follow-up response. Never prompt for email unprompted. Only stored when permission_to_follow_up=true.
rating_clarityNoAsk the user: 'How clear was the Blueprint guidance? Rate 1–5.' 1 = very unclear, 5 = very clear. Only set if the user gives an explicit number.
would_use_againNoAsk the user: 'Would you use the Blueprint again for a similar task?' Set true/false based on their answer. Only set if they answer explicitly.
rating_usefulnessNoAsk the user: 'How useful was the Blueprint for this task? Rate 1–5.' 1 = not useful, 5 = very useful. Only set if the user gives an explicit number.
permission_to_follow_upNoSet to true only if the user explicitly said they want a follow-up. Must be confirmed before storing contact_email.

  5. First observed

TDQS

A4.8/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the annotations, it discloses that the tool is write-only, needs no auth, stores data in the UK, conditionally stores contact_email, opens a support inbox item, sends free text to OpenAI for triage, and may include pseudonymised feedback in a weekly lead-intelligence extract to OpenAI US. It also documents rejection codes and clarifies that private_session does not apply. This is unusually rich behavioral context and is consistent with the annotations.

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 front-loaded with the core purpose and then organized into WHEN TO CALL, WHEN NOT TO CALL, BEHAVIOR, and REJECTION CODES sections. It is somewhat long, but much of the length is justified by privacy boundaries and data-flow disclosures that an agent must not omit.

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?

Given the tool's write behavior, privacy implications, OpenAI data flows, and conditional follow-up handling, the description is complete enough for correct invocation. It also includes rejection conditions, and return-value details are covered by the presence of an output schema.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already carries the basic parameter semantics and baseline would be 3. The description adds cross-parameter meaning beyond the schema, especially that contact_email is stored only when permission_to_follow_up=true, that contact_email is never included in the OpenAI triage request, and which combinations trigger invalid_request.

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 states a specific verb and resource: it records explicit free-text user feedback about the Blueprint, the tool surface, or a specific principle/example. It also distinguishes this from signals.report, which handles value-moment metrics, so an agent can select the right tool without opening either schema.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

It gives explicit WHEN TO CALL conditions with examples such as 'log this as feedback' and 'file this critique', and explicitly names signals.report as the alternative for value-moment metrics. It also gives WHEN NOT TO CALL guidance: not proactively, not silently, and not as a substitute for signals.report.

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