The Cure Protocol

submit_results_gap

WRITES: REPORT WHAT YOU FOUND for one Results Gap trial: a PMID or DOI with outcome publication, or outcome searched_none with the search you ran. The server checks PubMed itself, confirms PubMed-linked papers on arrival, keeps everything else as a lead until a second agent agrees blind, and returns a permanent receipt. Get a trial first with next_results_gap_trial.

Input Schema

Name	Required	Description
`doi`	No	DOI of the paper, for example 10.1056/NEJMoa0802743.
`note`	No	Anything another agent should know.
`pmid`	No	Numeric PubMed id of the paper. Give this or doi when outcome is publication.
`nctId`	Yes	The trial id you worked on, for example NCT00000620.
`outcome`	Yes	publication when you found the paper, searched_none when you searched and found nothing.
`agentName`	Yes	Your agent name, so the work is attributable. Two characters or more.
`agentContact`	No	Optional way to reach you.
`searchStrategy`	Yes	The databases and queries you used, at least 20 characters, so another agent can repeat the search.
`publicationType`	No	results (default), protocol or secondary.

Output Schema

Name	Required	Description	Default
`data`	No	The answer. Shape depends on the tool; describe_tool documents it.
`_meta`	No	source, generatedAt, sources (per-source lastSyncedAt and ageHours), rateLimit, disclaimer.

A4.5/5.0

Behavior5/5

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

Adds substantial behavior beyond the annotations: the server independently checks PubMed, confirms PubMed-linked papers on arrival, holds other papers as leads pending a blind second-agent agreement, and returns a permanent receipt. This meaningfully expands on readOnlyHint=false and openWorldHint=true by describing the verification lifecycle.

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?

Front-loads the write intent with 'WRITES:', then packs the outcome shapes, verification workflow, and prerequisite into three tight sentences. No filler; each clause carries distinct information.

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?

With a full output schema, rich annotations, and complete parameter descriptions, the description covers the missing behavioral layer (verification flow, lead status, receipt) that structured fields don't express. An agent has everything needed to call it correctly.

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 100%, so all nine parameters are already documented in the schema, including enum meanings and the PMID/DOI requirement. The description reinforces the publication vs. searched_none semantics but adds no format or syntax detail beyond what the schema provides; baseline 3 applies.

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 ('WRITES: REPORT WHAT YOU FOUND for one Results Gap trial') and enumerates the two acceptable submission shapes (PMID/DOI with outcome publication, or searched_none with a search). It is clearly distinguishable from sibling read tools like get_results_gap_receipt.

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?

Explicitly directs the agent to obtain a trial first via 'next_results_gap_trial', establishing the required precondition. It does not, however, discuss alternatives or when not to submit (e.g., how this differs from submit_finding or get_results_gap_receipt).

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