Riddle

riddle_builder_quiz

Builds a Quiz from a build configuration. For full block/result options see: https://www.riddle.com/help/api/build-riddles/riddle-types-and-other-blocks/quiz. 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 Quiz 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.

A4.2/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

With only idempotentHint=false and no readOnly/destructive hints, the description carries most of the behavioral load. It explains the response envelope and the queued behavior ('queued': true when queue is set), which is useful for a create-like tool; it could additionally spell out the creation side effect more explicitly, but 'Builds' already conveys persistence.

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 remarkably short: two sentences plus two reference pointers. The core action is front-loaded, the return contract is stated in the second sentence, and every clause earns its place. No redundancy or fluff.

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 no output schema, the description resolves return-value ambiguity by naming the riddle_get envelope and the queued flag. It also points to a full external reference for block/result options and to internal riddle:// references in the parameter docs. It would be more complete with an explicit statement that a new Riddle is created on each call, but the current pointers and context are still strong.

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%, so the baseline is 3. The tool description adds only a small amount of parameter meaning beyond the schema—mainly the queue flag behavior and a pointer to reference documentation. It does not need to describe each parameter further because the schema already does that exhaustively.

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?

The description opens with a specific verb and resource: 'Builds a Quiz from a build configuration'. It clearly distinguishes the tool from sibling riddle_builder_* tools by naming Quiz, and the response-envelope sentence indicates what object is produced, so an agent can tell this from riddle_get or riddle_builder_validate.

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 clearly identifies the tool as for building a new Quiz from a build config, and the build-parameter text ties it to the same shape used by riddle_get, riddle_builder_update, and riddle_builder_validate, giving useful routing context among siblings. It does not explicitly state 'when not to use it', which would make this a 5.

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.
