riddle_template_use

Creates a new Riddle from a template as an unchanged copy of it - content, settings and design preset - recorded as a copy of the template's Riddle (riddle_get reports it as context.duplicated). Use this whenever the template is what you want; to adapt it first, read it with riddle_template_get and build the edited configuration with riddle_builder_create instead. The new Riddle is a DRAFT - riddle_publish makes it live. Returns it in the standard build-configuration envelope, and takes riddle_get's "omit" to leave sections of it out. Requires the template-use permission plus Riddle-create in the target project.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
idYesThe ID of the template to create a Riddle from, as returned by riddle_template_list or riddle_template_public_list.
omitNoSame "omit" parameter as riddle_get's, applied to the returned envelope (see riddle_get for the full description): sections of it to leave out, "published" being the one that still moves a copy of a template materially. The per-block default maps are not in this response at all - they are opt-in through riddle_get/riddle_template_get and this tool has no such parameter.
titleNoTitle for the new Riddle. Omit to keep the template's own title.
projectIdNoThe project (team) ID to create the Riddle in, as returned by project_list. Omit to use the project the API key is scoped to (your personal project for a user API key).

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the minimal annotations, the description discloses crucial behaviors: the copy is unchanged and recorded as duplicated (context.duplicated), the result is a draft, the return envelope supports an 'omit' parameter, and specific permissions are required. This adds substantial context that annotations do not provide, with no contradictions.

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 dense but every sentence earns its place: it front-loads the core purpose, then gives usage guidance, draft status, return envelope details, and permissions. No filler or redundancy; the structure guides the agent from what to why and how.

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?

For a creation tool with no output schema, the description covers all essential operational context: what the copy contains, how it is marked, the draft state, the publish path, the return envelope, the omit behavior, and required permissions. An agent has enough to invoke the tool correctly and anticipate results.

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%, and the schema already richly documents each parameter, including the omit enum details and default behavior for title and projectId. The main description adds no meaningful parameter semantics beyond what the schema provides, so the baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 states a specific verb and resource: 'Creates a new Riddle from a template as an unchanged copy of it - content, settings and design preset'. It clearly differentiates this from sibling tools by contrasting with riddle_template_get and riddle_builder_create, so an agent can identify the exact operation without ambiguity.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

It explicitly says when to use this tool: 'Use this whenever the template is what you want; to adapt it first, read it with riddle_template_get and build the edited configuration with riddle_builder_create instead.' It also gives workflow context by noting the new Riddle is a DRAFT and riddle_publish makes it live, so an agent knows the follow-up step.

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

A4.4/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

Each tool is scoped to a distinct resource/action area: media, palettes, projects, question banks, Riddles, templates, tags, stats, and support. Potentially close pairs like riddle_tag/riddle_tag_delete and question_bank_delete/question_bank_manage are cleanly separated by their descriptions, so an agent can reliably select the right one.

Naming Consistency4/5

The naming is mostly consistent snake_case with strong resource prefixes like riddle_, question_bank_, and template_, followed by clear verbs. Minor deviations such as question_bank_item, riddle_tag, and stats_fetch break the strict verb-noun pattern but remain predictable once the convention is understood.

Tool Count3/5

At 38 tools this is a heavy surface, though the breadth is justified by the many subdomains the server covers: media, palettes, projects, question banks, Riddles, templates, tags, and stats. Most tools earn their place, but the count sits above the range where an agent can quickly survey all options.

Completeness4/5

The set covers the full lifecycle for Riddles, question banks, templates, and tags, including publish/unpublish, move, stats, and media upload/delete. Minor gaps like no media library listing and read-only project settings are workable because media IDs come from upload responses and project permissions are exposed.
