Riddle

riddle_builder_form

Builds a Form from a build configuration. For full field types see: https://www.riddle.com/help/api/build-riddles/riddle-types-and-other-blocks/form Returns the compact build-configuration envelope of riddle_get (riddle://reference/response-format), with 'queued': true added when queue is set.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description
`omit`	No	Leaves parts of the returned envelope out. Values: "build", "warnings", "nextBlockId", "published", "context" (whole sections) and "build.omittedDefaults" (the per-block maps of properties left at their default, inside every build config in the response). Omit for the whole envelope. "uuid"/"type"/"modifiedAt" are always returned. Reach for omit: ["build.omittedDefaults"] on almost every build - it drops ~85-90% of the read-back and loses nothing, since riddle://reference/block-defaults/<block type> states the same defaults; what you must not do either way is resend those values. When you leave anything out the response names it under "omittedFields", so a missing key never means the Riddle has none of it. Same parameter as riddle_get's.
`build`	Yes	The Form build configuration.This is the raw build configuration in the engine's own key names - the exact same shape riddle_get returns under "build", riddle_builder_update takes, and riddle_builder_validate dry-runs, so a read-back can be fed straight back in. Unknown keys are rejected rather than ignored.
`queue`	No	Whether to queue the creation asynchronously.
`project`	No	The project ID; pass NULL for personal project; omit to use the currently selected project.
`publish`	No	Whether to publish the Riddle right after creation; default is false (draft). Distinct from the "publish" field INSIDE the build config, which is the stored publish configuration object.
`templateId`	No	Only when this build config came from a template you adapted (riddleTemplate_get): the id of that template. Always pass it when you have one: it gives the new Riddle the template's DESIGN in full - its layout, palettes and every preset setting, including the parts no build config can express - with your build config applied on top of it, and it records the new Riddle as a copy of the template's Riddle, the same lineage riddleTemplate_use produces (riddle_get reports it as context.duplicated). The content is entirely yours either way. Omit it for anything you did not build from a template.

A3.6/5.0

Behavior3/5

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

The description adds useful behavioral detail beyond the idempotentHint=false annotation: it returns the compact build-configuration envelope of riddle_get and adds 'queued': true when the queue parameter is set. It also points to the field-type reference. However, it does not disclose broader mutation consequences, publishing side effects, or failure behavior, so the behavioral picture is informative but incomplete.

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?

The description is two sentences with no filler. The core purpose is front-loaded, the external reference for full field types is included, and the return envelope behavior is stated economically. Every element earns its place.

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?

Given a complex nested build object, no output schema, and many sibling builder tools, the description is mostly complete: it states the input concept, provides documentation links to field types and response format, and notes the queued behavior. The missing detail is when the created Form is published/drafted and how the top-level publish flags interact, though the schema descriptions do cover that. Overall, the description plus rich schema is sufficient for correct invocation.

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 description coverage is 100%, with very detailed parameter descriptions for build, omit, queue, project, publish, and templateId. The tool description itself adds no parameter-specific meaning, but under the rubric the high schema coverage establishes a baseline of 3. The descriptions within the schema carry the semantic weight here.

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?

The description states a specific verb and resource: 'Builds a Form from a build configuration.' This clearly identifies the tool as one of the parallel builder-family tools and distinguishes it by the Form type. It loses the top score because it doesn't explicitly contrast itself with sibling builders like riddle_builder_quiz or riddle_builder_poll, leaving some differentiation to the tool name and schema.

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?

There is no explicit guidance on when to choose this tool over its siblings. The phrase 'builds a Form' and the tool name imply the usage context, but the description does not state when not to use it, nor does it name an alternative such as riddle_builder_update or another builder. Usage context is implied rather than directly specified.

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

A4.1/5.0

Disambiguation5/5

Each tool has a clear, unique purpose. The riddle_builder_* variants are distinct by Riddle type, questionBank_* and riddleTemplate_* cover separate objects, and stats_* differ by scope. No two tools appear to perform the same function.

Naming Consistency4/5

Naming is largely consistent with domain prefixes (riddle_, questionBank_, riddleTemplate_, stats_, project_, palette_, reference_). Minor deviations like riddle_account_list vs. riddle_list and whoami (no prefix) and riddle_get_embed_code vs. riddle_qr_code slightly break the pattern, but overall it is predictable.

Tool Count2/5

With 62 tools, the server is far beyond the typical 3-15 well-scoped range. While each tool is functional and the breadth reflects the platform's complexity, the sheer number makes it heavy and increases the cognitive load for an agent, suggesting over-granularity.

Completeness5/5

The tool set covers the full lifecycle: create (builder variants), read (get/list), update (builder_update, rename), delete, publish/unpublish, tagging, templates, question banks, stats, projects, palettes, and reference documentation. No obvious domain operation is missing.
