riddle_template_create

Stores an existing Riddle as a template of its project (or of the user, for a personal Riddle), so new Riddles can be created from it with riddle_template_use. The template is a copy taken at this moment - the Riddle keeps living its own life and later changes to it do not reach the template. It copies what the Riddle currently has stored, published or not. Returns the created template: {id, title, type, category, isPublic, isQuickCreate, blocksCount, image, icon, createdAt, riddle}. Requires the template-create permission in the Riddle's project.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
UUIDYesThe UUID of the Riddle to store as a template, e.g. "6FA740EW".
titleNoTitle for the template. Omit to keep the Riddle's own title.
isQuickCreateNoWhether the template also shows up in the Creator's "quick create" list, i.e. among the starting points offered when creating a new Riddle. Defaults to false.

A4.5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

The description goes well beyond the annotations by explaining that the template is a snapshot copy taken at the moment of creation, that the original Riddle continues to live independently, that later changes are not propagated, and that unpublished content is included. It also discloses the permission requirement and the exact fields returned. This is rich behavioral context.

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is dense but every sentence earns its place: it states the purpose, explains snapshot semantics, clarifies coverage of unpublished content, lists the return shape, and names the required permission. The central behavioral constraint is front-loaded in the first sentence.

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?

Since there is no output schema, the description compensates by specifying the exact return object. It also covers the key behavioral quirks, the permission prerequisite, and the relationship to riddle_template_use. For a tool of this complexity, nothing essential is missing.

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 the schema already fully documents UUID, title, and isQuickCreate. The description does not add much parameter-specific meaning beyond what the schema provides, which aligns with the baseline of 3.

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 action: store an existing Riddle as a template, and differentiates this from the sibling riddle_template_use tool by explaining the copy relationship. It clearly identifies the resource and the resulting artifact, making the tool's purpose unambiguous.

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 explains that the tool is used when you want to create a template from an existing Riddle so that new Riddles can be created later with riddle_template_use. It also notes the permission requirement. It does not explicitly state when not to use it, but there is no direct competing alternative for template creation.

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

A4.1/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

Each tool targets a distinct resource and action: media, palettes, projects, question banks, Riddle builds, publish lifecycle, tags, and templates are cleanly separated. Even near-neighbors like question_bank_get versus question_bank_get_items or riddle_tag versus question_bank_tag are disambiguated by explicit scope descriptions.

Naming Consistency4/5

Names follow a consistent lowercase snake_case domain-prefix plus action pattern, such as riddle_get, riddle_publish, question_bank_create, and media_delete. Minor deviations like question_bank_item, question_bank_manage, and the standalone ping/whoami break the pattern slightly.

Tool Count2/5

At 38 tools, the set is well above the 25+ threshold and is heavy for an agent to navigate in a single context. Most tools are individually justified, but the surface could be consolidated, particularly around tag operations, template listing variants, and question bank actions.

Completeness4/5

The Riddle lifecycle is well covered: build, validate, update, publish, unpublish, move, rename, delete, embed, tag, and fetch stats. Minor gaps remain, such as no template delete/update, no media library listing, and no project create/update/delete, but these are workable around or arguably outside the core domain.
