Remix recipe

remix_recipe

Copy a catalog recipe you can read onto your own shelf, as it is today — a curator re-authoring the original later cannot change your copy. A copy of someone else's recipe carries its questions, model and settings but not its prompt wording, which stays its author's: write your own prompt on the copy with update_recipe. Every field is optional; with none, the copy keeps the original's name. Edit the copy with update_recipe. A run recipe cannot be copied — its steps are its author's and stay private; press it with start_recipe_run, or author your own with create_recipe.

  2. First observed

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations only declare the generic profile (not read-only, not destructive, not idempotent, closed-world); the description adds substantial real behavior: the copy is an immutable snapshot of today's state, and prompt wording is deliberately omitted for authorship reasons. It does not mention that repeated calls produce additional independent copies (consistent with idempotentHint=false), which is the one behavioral fact left implicit.

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?

Front-loaded with the core action and the immutability guarantee, then the restrictions. Minor redundancy: 'write your own prompt on the copy with update_recipe' and 'Edit the copy with update_recipe' repeat the same pointer, costing one sentence.

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?

Return values need not be described since an output schema exists, and annotations cover the safety profile, so the description carries only what it must: copy semantics, prompt exclusion, and the run-recipe restriction — all present. The gap is the unexplained effect of the optional metadata fields.

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 coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It explains the default behavior ('with none, the copy keeps the original's name') but does not state what name, description, or tags do on the copy — presumably metadata overrides — leaving the three optional parameters to inference.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Copy a catalog recipe you can read onto your own shelf') and immediately distinguishes it from create_recipe, update_recipe, and start_recipe_run. The snapshot semantics ('a curator re-authoring the original later cannot change your copy') make it unmistakable versus get_recipe.

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?

Explicitly routes: edit the resulting copy with update_recipe, and for run recipes use start_recipe_run or author with create_recipe. It also names the precondition ('a catalog recipe you can read') and the exclusion (run recipes cannot be copied, because steps stay private).

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