reference_get
Read the documentation of this MCP server: the block types, form field types, result blocks, palette values and response shapes the other tools expect. Every "riddle://reference/..." URI mentioned in another tool's description, in a tool response or in an error message is a topic of this tool - pass it here to read that document. These documents are the authoritative parameter reference for the riddle_builder_* and palette_* tools: read the relevant one BEFORE the first call instead of guessing property names, and re-read it when a call fails with a VALIDATION_ERROR. Available topics:
riddle://reference/index: every document this server has, including the two families below, with exact sizes in bytes. Read this one first when you do not know which of the others you need - it is by far the smallest.
riddle://reference/getting-started: what this server is for, the authentication model, the guided prompts it offers, and the addresses of the concept documents (tools by category, workflows, bulk, move restrictions, editing, publish) that hold the rules themselves. Start here when unsure which tool to use.
riddle://reference/response-format: the {uuid, type, modifiedAt, build, nextBlockId, warnings, published, context} envelope every tool returning a Riddle answers with, plus the bulk envelope.
riddle://reference/riddle-builder/riddle-types: all 9 Riddle types with their required/optional build fields and result structure.
riddle://reference/riddle-builder/block-types: every question and content block type per Riddle type - the reference for the "blocks" of a riddle_builder_* call.
riddle://reference/concepts/defaults: how the per-entity defaults documents below work - what a read-back leaves out for still being at its default, and how to read a property name. Read this once; the documents themselves each state their own defaults completely.
riddle://reference/block-defaults/{blockType} (a family, one address per block type, e.g. riddle://reference/block-defaults/SingleChoice): the default of every property a riddle_get read-back omits from a block of that type for still being at it. Read the one block type you are configuring; see riddle://reference/index for the exact member names.
riddle://reference/form-field-defaults: what every form field type of the FormBuilder block accepts and defaults to, keyed by field type - one document, since a Form is built with several field types at once; pass "fieldTypes" to get only the ones you need.
riddle://reference/publish-defaults: the resolved default of every publish setting ("publish.") a read-back leaves out - one address, since they are the same for every Riddle type that has them.
riddle://reference/riddle-defaults/{riddleType} (a family, one address per Riddle type, e.g. riddle://reference/riddle-defaults/Quiz): the Riddle-level, preset and publish defaults of a Riddle of that type.
riddle://reference/riddle-builder/form-field-types: all 18 form field types of the FormBuilder block.
riddle://reference/riddle-builder/result-blocks: all 12 result page block types with their format and styling options.
riddle://reference/palette/fields: every palette value palette_customize accepts, and where it is used in a published Riddle.
riddle://reference/palette/built-in-palettes: the built-in palettes usable as a starting point for a custom one.
riddle://reference/palette/fonts: the font families available as the palette font.
riddle://reference/question-bank/overview: what a question bank is, its draft/publish model, and how its items relate to a QuestionBank block - read before the first questionBank_create.
Request only the documents you actually need - most are long. Up to 8 at a time, which is the size of the full Riddle Builder set (riddle-types + block-types + form-field-types + result-blocks) plus a handful of the entity addresses above.
"riddleType" and "blockTypes" narrow riddle-types and block-types down to one Riddle type's (or one block type's) own material - e.g. {"topics": ["riddle://reference/riddle-builder/block-types"], "riddleType": ["Quiz"]} drops every other type's question blocks. "fieldTypes" does the same for form-field-types, e.g. {"topics": ["riddle://reference/riddle-builder/form-field-types"], "fieldTypes": ["Dropdown"]} returns that one field type plus the property sets it refers to. All three are ignored (whole document returned) on a topic without that split, which every response says explicitly rather than silently returning everything. The block-defaults and riddle-defaults documents have nothing left to filter this way - they are already one address per entity, so reading riddle://reference/block-defaults/SingleChoice IS the filtered result, with no parameter needed. "fieldTypes" narrows form-field-defaults the same way it narrows form-field-types, so {"topics": ["riddle://reference/riddle-builder/form-field-types", "riddle://reference/form-field-defaults"], "fieldTypes": ["Dropdown"]} is the complete reference for one field type - what it is for, what it accepts, what it defaults to - and nothing else.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| topics | Yes | The reference documents to read, as their "riddle://reference/..." URIs. | |
| blockTypes | No | Narrow block-types further, to these block type name(s) (e.g. "SingleChoice", "WheelSpinner"), on top of whatever "riddleType" already kept. Names are NOT enumerated here - there are dozens across 9 Riddle types, and this schema is read by every agent on every turn regardless of whether it filters. An unknown name, or one that exists but is not part of the Riddle type(s) you filtered to, is rejected and the error names the valid names for your situation. Omit for every block type. | |
| fieldTypes | No | Narrow form-field-types down to these form field type name(s) (e.g. "Dropdown", "Privacy"). The property sets a kept field type refers to (propertySets/commonProperties) and the "fields" usage notes are always returned with it. Names are NOT enumerated here for the same reason "blockTypes" does not enumerate its own - an unknown one is rejected with the full list of the 18 valid names. Ignored on every other topic. Omit for every field type. | |
| riddleType | No | Narrow riddle-types/block-types down to these Riddle type(s) - e.g. ["Quiz"] on block-types drops every other type's question blocks while keeping the shared conventions (commonBlockProperties, the general Content/Ad/Quote blocks, ...). Ignored, with the whole document returned, on a topic that has no per-type split (form-field-types, result-blocks, concepts/defaults, the palette/question-bank documents). Not applicable to the block-defaults/riddle-defaults families - read the entity's own address instead. Omit for every type. | |
| includeAvailableTopics | No | Whether the response should carry the full "availableTopics" catalogue. Omit it: the first reference_get of a session gets the catalogue, every call after it gets a one-line pointer back to it instead of repeating ~2.5 KB you already have - which on a small document is several times the document itself. Pass true to get it again (a fresh conversation on an existing session, or after losing it), false to never pay for it. |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| references | Yes | One entry per requested topic, in the order requested. | |
| availableTopics | Yes | Every topic this tool can return - sent in full on the FIRST reference_get of a session only, so a client that reached this tool without reading its schema still learns what else is documented and what reading it would cost. Later calls carry a short {omitted, namesAndSizesIn, resend} pointer instead of repeating ~2.5 KB the caller already has; "includeAvailableTopics" overrides both directions. In the full form the static documents are listed as uri => {sizeBytes, summary}, same as riddle://reference/index and what resources/list advertises as "size". The two generated families (block-defaults, riddle-defaults - one address per entity) are compacted under "families": the address template, how many addresses it has and what they cost in total, without the individual names - those, with their exact sizes, are in riddle://reference/index. An address is built by replacing the {variable} of a "uriTemplate" with the entity you are working on, e.g. riddle://reference/block-defaults/Flashcard. |
