Starter form

form_starter
Read-onlyIdempotent

A blank form document for a generator kind (growth, rock, face, blades, canopy, masonry, lathe, sweep, truss, frond), named by id. Costs no units.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
idYesThe id to give the new form: lower-case letters, digits and hyphens.
kindYesThe generator kind to start from: growth, rock, face, blades, canopy, masonry, lathe, sweep, truss or frond.

Output Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
msNoMilliseconds the run took.
jobYesThe job id; the job tool reads it.
verbNoThe tool that made it.
filesNoFiles made, each with a name, type, size and a signed URL.
unitsNoUnits this call cost.
resultNoThe engine's own answer, a JSON document.
statusNoqueued when the job runs in the background.

TDQS

B3.2/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, non-destructive and closed-world, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds one real behavioral fact not present in structured data, that the call costs no units, but says nothing about whether the named form persists or what the returned document contains.

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?

Two compact sentences with no filler; the artifact and its enumeration come first and the cost note is appended. Nothing is padded, though the kind list duplicates data the schema already holds.

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?

An output schema exists, so return-value explanation is not needed, and the annotations plus 100%-covered schema carry the safety and parameter burden for a low-complexity two-parameter tool. The only shortfall is the missing placement guidance relative to the other form_* tools.

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 both parameters carry clear descriptions including the id pattern and the kind list, so the baseline of 3 applies. The description restates the kind enumeration already in the schema and adds no new syntax or constraint details.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description names the concrete artifact produced (a blank form document), scopes it to a generator kind, and enumerates every valid kind, so the resource is unambiguous. It omits the verb (returns? creates?) and does not distinguish itself from siblings like form_build, form_apply or form_check, which is exactly the gap between a 4 and a 5.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

There is no statement of when to reach for this tool versus form_build, form_apply or form_check, nor any prerequisite such as a required prior step in a flow. The only contextual hint, 'costs no units', is a cost note rather than usage guidance.

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