Start recipe run

start_recipe_run

Quote or start a workflow recipe. First call with quote=true to review the setup and price; then pass the returned review_hash with identical inputs and presets to start. A changed recipe or preset requires a new quote. quote=true never creates a run.

Tool call template

Replace each placeholder with a value matching the input schema. Only required parameters are included; add optional parameters as needed.

  2. First observed

TDQS

A3.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

The annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false and idempotentHint=false, so the description's job is to add cost/side-effect context, which it does: quote=true never creates a run, and anything changed invalidates the hash. That is genuinely useful disclosure for a non-idempotent mutation. It still doesn't say what a run consumes (credits) or what happens if the hash is stale, only that a new quote is needed.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Three tight sentences, front-loaded with the action, then the sequencing rule, then the invalidation caveat. No restatement of the title or filler text; every sentence adds operative information.

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

Completeness3/5

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

The output schema exists, so return values needn't be explained, and the quote/start protocol is covered well. However, for a tool with six parameters, nested preset objects and an engine/agent driver choice, leaving driver and presets undefined makes the definition incomplete for correct invocation.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description carries the full burden, and it fully explains only two of six parameters: quote and review_hash. The driver enum (engine vs agent), the inputs map, and all four presets sub-fields (style, motion, framing, lighting) get no explanation in either the schema or the description. That leaves the bulk of the parameter surface undocumented.

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?

"Quote or start a workflow recipe" gives a specific verb pair and resource, and the two-phase flow makes the tool's identity clear. It does not differentiate itself from adjacent siblings such as generate_with_recipe or submit_recipe, so an agent must infer the boundary from the name alone.

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 spells out the required order of operations: quote first, then pass the returned review_hash with identical inputs and presets to start. It also states the invalidation rule (a changed recipe or preset requires a new quote). It stops short of naming alternative sibling tools for the case where a recipe run isn't the right choice.

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