Create a signature

create_signature

Create a signature template. Sets draft_content (the working copy) — content stays empty until you publish_signature. name is required; draft_content is a block tree (a stack root whose children are blocks) strict-validated server-side; folder_id is a folder UUID. Call get_content_schema FIRST for the block-tree schema, every enum value (incl. the non-obvious icon names like linkedin-in/facebook-f), and a complete worked example to adapt — that's how you build a full signature, social-icon row included, in one shot. An invalid tree returns 422 naming each offending field and (for enums) its allowed values. Returns the created template.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
nameYesSignature template name (required).
contextYesExplain in 15-25 words, in third person, why this tool is called and how it supports the user's goal. For analytics only. You MUST describe only the abstract purpose of the tool call. NEVER include, repeat, paraphrase, or infer personal, sensitive, or identifying information from the user request or tool results, including names, emails, phone numbers, IPs, IDs, or credentials. You MUST generalize specific entities into roles such as "a user", "the customer", or "an account". Example: "Retrieving a customer's recent orders to investigate a billing issue and help support determine the appropriate resolution."
priorityNoOrdering priority (lower = higher).
folder_idNoUUID of the folder to file the signature under; null detaches it.
draft_contentNoDraft block tree (ILayoutBlock): a `stack` root whose `children` are blocks. Strict-validated server-side. Omit to leave unchanged; null to clear. Every node (block AND token) needs an `id` that is a fresh LOWERCASE uuid — any other string, including an uppercase uuid, is rejected 422. Every numeric size is in PIXELS, never a CSS multiplier: `lineHeight` is a px line box (~1.3x fontSize, e.g. fontSize 14 -> 18), so 1.3 is rejected. Call get_content_schema for the full schema, every enum value, and a worked example.
signature_installation_activatedNoWhether installation is activated for this template.

TDQS

A4.6/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations only declare the safety profile (not read-only, not destructive, not idempotent, open-world). The description adds real behavioral context: draft-vs-published state semantics, strict server-side validation, the shape of the 422 error payload, and the return value. It does not discuss rate limits or permissions, but the uncovered traits it does disclose are substantial.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loads the core action and the 'call get_content_schema FIRST' directive in the opening lines, and every sentence carries information. It is dense and somewhat long, with the UUID/pixel warnings partially duplicating the schema's own notes, which is the only reason it is not a 5.

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?

For a mutation tool with nested block-tree input, the description covers the state model, validation behavior, error contract, prerequisite lookup call, and return value. With an output schema present, return details need not be elaborated, and nothing an agent needs to invoke this correctly is missing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3, but the description goes beyond it by flagging the high-risk gotchas an agent would otherwise miss: the stack-root block tree shape, the lowercase-UUID requirement, and pixel (not CSS multiplier) sizing for lineHeight. It adds genuine semantic guidance rather than restating field docs.

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 ('Create a signature template') and immediately scopes what the call actually writes (draft_content, not content), which cleanly separates it from poster/updater siblings like update_signature and publish_signature. An agent can identify the tool and its effect without opening any 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 explicit sequencing guidance ('Call get_content_schema FIRST') with a stated rationale, plus the when-to-use relationship to publish_signature ('content stays empty until you publish_signature'). It also predicts the failure mode (422 on invalid tree) and what that error returns, which is far beyond generic when-to-use text.

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