riddle_builder_poll

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

A4/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Beyond the sole idempotentHint=false annotation, the description adds concrete behavioral detail: it returns the compact build-configuration envelope of riddle_get, and it adds `queued: true` when `queue` is set. This helps an agent predict response shape and async behavior. It still does not explicitly say that every invocation creates a new durable Poll or that a duplicate may be created on retry, but the annotation and 'Builds' cover much of that.

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 tightly written in three sentences: what the tool does, where to get full block options, and what the response is. The most important statement comes first, and no sentence is redundant or padded.

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?

For a complex create-oriented tool with six parameters, nested configuration, and no explicit output schema, the description is almost complete: it names the action, the return envelope, and the asynchronous queue behavior. It could go further by pointing to riddle_builder_validate for safe pre-checking and stating that repeated calls create separate Polls, but the exhaustive input schema makes this a minor gap rather than a harmful one.

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 rich schema already documents all six parameters, including the deeply nested build object. The free-text description only reinforces that a build configuration is used and points to external or riddle:// references; it does not add per-parameter meaning beyond what the schema already provides.

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 Poll from a build configuration.' This makes it immediately distinguishable from sibling builder tools for other Riddle types such as quiz, form, leaderboard, or story, and it also indicates the required input object.

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?

The intended usage is implied by the verb 'Builds'—call this to create a Poll from a config—and by the sibling builder names. However, the description does not explicitly state when not to use it, mention alternatives like riddle_builder_validate for dry-running the config, or differentiate it from riddle_builder_update for modifying an existing Poll.

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

A3.8/5.0

Disambiguation4/5

Tools are largely distinct by name and detailed descriptions, with clear prefixes (riddle_builder_*, questionBank_*, stats_*). Some potential confusion exists among the stats tools (stats_fetch vs stats_overview_fetch vs breakdowns) but descriptions clarify their different scopes. Overall, an agent can usually pick the right tool.

Naming Consistency4/5

Naming follows a predictable prefix+verb pattern within each domain (e.g., riddle_builder_quiz, riddle_builder_poll; riddle_get, riddle_publish). Minor inconsistencies exist, like the camelCase 'questionBank' and 'riddleTemplate' prefixes vs snake_case elsewhere, and 'stats_overview_fetch' ordering, but these are not chaotic and remain readable.

Tool Count1/5

With 62 tools, this far exceeds the recommended 3-15 range and even the 25+ threshold. While the server covers a broad domain, the extreme number overwhelms and makes tool selection harder, fitting the 'extreme mismatch' criterion for 50+ tools.

Completeness5/5

The tool surface is exceptionally comprehensive, covering creation, reading, updating, deleting, publishing, unpublishing, moving, tagging, template management, question banks, palettes, and various stats breakdowns. There are no obvious gaps in the lifecycle of managing interactive content, and all apparent operations are supported.
