question_bank_create

Creates a new, empty question bank for the given Riddle type ("Quiz" or "Poll"). Add items with question_bank_item_add, then reference the returned "id" as "questionBankId" on a QuestionBank block of a riddle_builder_create call of the matching "type" - a bank created for "Quiz" can only be referenced from a Quiz, never a Poll, and vice versa. A bank lives in one project and can only be referenced from Riddles of that same project, so pass the projectId of the project the Riddle belongs to; omitting it creates the bank in the project the API key is scoped to. Needs full access: riddle://reference/concepts/access.

Tool call template

Replace each placeholder with a value matching the input schema. Only required parameters are included; add optional parameters as needed.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
titleNoThe bank's title. Defaults to "New question bank" when omitted.
projectIdNoThe project (team) ID to create the bank in, as returned by project_list. Omit for the project the API key is scoped to (your personal space on a user API key).
riddleTypeYesThe Riddle type this bank's items are shaped for - "Quiz" or "Poll". Fixed for the lifetime of the bank; every item added later must match it.

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly=false, destructive=false, idempotent=false, and openWorld=false. The description adds important behavior beyond that: the bank starts empty, its type is fixed for life, it can only be referenced by matching Riddles in the same project, and full access is required.

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 front-loaded: the first sentence states the core action, and the remaining sentences each add a needed constraint or workflow step. Nothing appears superfluous for a creation tool with cross-entity references.

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 no output schema, the description still explains the key return value (the new bank's id) and how to use it in later calls. Annotations cover safety hints, and the description covers lifecycle, project scoping, type matching, and access requirements, leaving no material gap 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%, so all three parameters are already documented in the input schema, and the description largely restates the projectId and riddleType semantics rather than adding parameter-level detail. It does reinforce the projectId omission behavior and the cross-type reference restriction, but title semantics are left entirely to the schema.

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 ("Creates a new, empty question bank") and names the required Riddle type, clearly distinguishing it from sibling mutation tools like question_bank_item_add and question_bank_rename. An agent can identify the tool's job without opening the schema.

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?

Gives an explicit workflow: create the bank, add items with question_bank_item_add, then reference the returned id as questionBankId on a riddle_builder_create call. It also spells out selection constraints — matching Riddle type and matching project — so alternatives and prerequisites are clear.

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