Propose an app design

propose_app

Your agent can design an app with you: send an app in opointo's design format (the AppSpec emit_app builds from) and get back a link that opens it in the Architect as a new, unsaved design. The person sees every screen, changes what they like, and hands it back for emit_app. into: the code in the person's line; it lands in their open design. dryRun checks without making a link; format: true returns the format and every block, "photos" the sample photos, or with app: { version: 1 } a short plan's.

A top bar is header: { id, slug: "header", props: {} }, titled by the screen's name; a sheet has none. entryScreenId is only for a splash screen before the tabs. Titles and composition metadata are set by the builder.

TDQS

B3.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations only say readOnly=false, idempotent=false, destructive=false, openWorld=false. The description adds genuinely useful context beyond that: a link is returned, it opens as a NEW UNSAVED design, the person edits every screen, and dryRun avoids creating a link. It stops short of explaining what happens to prior proposals or how 'into' merges into an existing design, but it does substantially more than 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.

Conciseness2/5

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

The core meaning is buried in one long run-on sentence followed by fragments such as 'into: the code in the person's line' and a dangling 'or with app: { version: 1 } a short plan's.' The propose-then-hand-back flow is not front-loaded, and stray quotation marks around 'photos' make the format options harder to parse than the schema alone.

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?

This is a complex tool: a deeply nested AppSpec object, four parameters, no output schema, and write semantics. The description covers the return value (a link), the dryRun escape hatch, and the propose/emit_app lifecycle, which is the critical part. It leaves into's merge behavior and the exact format string values murky, so it is adequate but not complete for a tool of this complexity.

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 50%: app and dryRun are documented in the schema, while into and format are bare. The description attempts to cover both gaps, saying into lands the design 'in their open design' and format: true returns the format and every block or 'photos' for sample photos. The into explanation is garbled ('the code in the person's line') and the format variants are only partly legible, so it compensates but not cleanly.

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?

It states a specific verb and resource: send an AppSpec and get back a link that opens it in the Architect as a new, unsaved design. It also distinguishes itself from emit_app by noting the person 'hands it back for emit_app', which clarifies the propose-vs-commit split. Verbose framing aside, an agent can tell what it does and how it differs from the sibling that commits the design.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The propose-then-emit_app flow is described, which implies when to use this tool, and dryRun is explained as a way to check without making a link. However, there is no explicit 'use this when X, use emit_app when Y' statement, and the guidance is embedded inside a run-on sentence rather than stated as a rule an agent can act on directly.

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