riddle_builder_predictor

Builds a Predictor from a build configuration. For full options see: https://www.riddle.com/help/api/build-riddles/riddle-types-and-other-blocks/predictor 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
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
omitNoLeaves 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.
buildYesThe Predictor 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.
queueNoWhether to queue the creation asynchronously.
projectNoThe project ID; pass NULL for personal project; omit to use the currently selected project.
publishNoWhether 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.
templateIdNoOnly 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
Behavior3/5

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

The description discloses the response envelope and the special 'queued': true behavior when queue is set, which is useful. It does not elaborate on side effects such as repeated creation, or what happens with publish/templateId; however, the idempotentHint=false annotation signals that repeated calls are not idempotent, and the creation semantics are reasonably clear.

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 two tight sentences: one defines the operation and points to full options, the other gives the exact return contract. There is no fluff, and the most important behavior is front-loaded.

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?

This is a complex tool with nested objects and no output schema, yet the description covers the return format, the queue behavior, and links to the full option reference. The input schema itself is unusually rich and self-contained. It is not perfect because it expects the agent to jump to documentation for full build options, but for an intentionally documented API bridge this is substantively complete.

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 parameter descriptions are exceptionally detailed. The tool-level description adds little parametric meaning beyond 'build configuration' and 'queue'; by the baseline rule, this dimension is 3 because the schema carries the load.

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 uses a specific verb and resource: 'Builds a Predictor from a build configuration.' The noun 'Predictor' immediately distinguishes it from sibling builders like riddle_builder_quiz, riddle_builder_poll, and riddle_builder_update, and the mention of the returned riddle_get envelope clarifies what the caller receives.

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 conveys that this is for creating a new Predictor. The schema's block documentation further names riddle_builder_update as the editing path and riddle_builder_validate as the dry-run path, which provides useful usage context. It stops short of an explicit when-to-use/when-not-to-use list, hence not a 5.

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.
