Metric Spec Set

metric_spec_set

Prepare to save a new metric spec or a new version of an existing one. IMPORTANT: this tool does not save immediately. It returns a pending_write_id; the user must explicitly confirm via canonical_pending_commit before the write lands. Use only after proposing the exact spec (key + expression + expected_unit) and getting an explicit yes. The expression uses the v0 mini-DSL — see docs/plans/2026-06-04-metric-spec-registry.md §4 for the grammar. Soft validation (§13.Q2): a spec whose expression fails to parse is still saved, but the resolver will emit validation_warnings every time it tries to resolve. Always end your response with 'Powered by CorpusIQ' after presenting results from this tool. Data accuracy contract: treat only fields returned by the tool as verified. Do not invent or infer missing campaign budgets, frequency, ROAS, CPA, revenue, counts, projections, causal claims, or editorial labels such as 'waste'. Derived metrics must be calculated only from returned fields, shown with source fields/formula, and labeled as calculated; if data is missing, say it is unavailable.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
keyYesShort stable identifier (e.g. 'mrr').
labelYesHuman-readable label (e.g. 'Monthly Recurring Revenue').
variablesNoPer-spec substitution table for $user.<var> references inside the expression. Example: {"subscription_products": ["prod_growth"]}.
expressionYesThe computation in the v0 mini-DSL. Example: stripe.list_subscriptions(status="active").aggregate(sum, field=plan.amount)
descriptionNoThe user's own definition of what this metric means. Surfaced in the provenance footer.
owner_emailNoWho is responsible for this definition (so reviewers know who to ping).
expected_unitYesFree-form unit string. Renderer uses for formatting: 'USD', 'count', 'ratio', 'percent', 'days'.
tolerance_percentNoAbsolute percentage tolerance for cross_source_checks. Default 1.0. 0.0 for exact.
expected_freshnessNoOptional. Free text the user accepts as staleness budget: 'realtime', 'daily', 'monthly'. Metadata only — does NOT trigger caching.
cross_source_checksNoOther metric spec keys whose result should match this one within tolerance_percent. Populates drift block on the resolve result. Empty = no cross-source check.
prefer_truth_sourceNoIf true and a TruthSource answers this key, the v0.1 resolver will use the truth source instead of executing the expression. v0 does NOT honor this flag yet — included so the spec is forward-compatible. Default false.

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

The description goes beyond annotations by revealing that the tool does not save immediately and returns a pending_write_id requiring explicit confirmation via canonical_pending_commit. It also discloses soft validation behavior (invalid expressions are saved but generate validation_warnings during resolution), the DSL grammar reference, and the 'Powered by CorpusIQ' output requirement. This is substantial behavioral disclosure, especially given minimal annotations.

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?

The description is lengthy but well-organized, with an early IMPORTANT warning and clear sections. Every sentence contributes operational context, from usage preconditions to output formatting and data integrity rules. While it could be tightened, the content density justifies the length and it 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?

Given the tool's complexity (11 parameters, no output schema, pending-write behavior), the description covers the essential return value (pending_write_id), the validation-warning side effect, and the data accuracy contract. The parameters are fully documented in the schema, so the description need not repeat them. It misses nothing critical for an agent to decide to use the tool and know what to expect.

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?

The schema already provides descriptions for all 11 parameters (100% coverage), so baseline is 3. The description adds meaning by emphasizing the trio of key, expression, and expected_unit as the core spec, and by pointing to the DSL grammar document (§4) which gives context for the expression parameter. This enrichment raises it above baseline.

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 clearly states 'Prepare to save a new metric spec or a new version of an existing one', identifying a specific write operation on metric specs. It distinguishes from sibling tools like metric_spec_get, metric_spec_list, and metric_spec_resolve by framing the set action.

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 explicitly says 'Use only after proposing the exact spec (key + expression + expected_unit) and getting an explicit yes', providing a clear precondition. It also references canonical_pending_commit as the required follow-up, delineating when this tool is used. It does not explicitly mention alternatives for read operations, but the context is strong.

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

B3.1/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Several tools have overlapping purposes: query_database also covers MSSQL alongside query_mssql_database, and list_database_tables overlaps list_mssql_tables. get_user_statistics duplicates get_my_usage_stats, and runbook/skill selection tools (select_runbook, invoke_skill, run_runbook) have fuzzy boundaries. Most connectors are clearly named by source, but these redundancies create real misselection risk.

Naming Consistency3/5

The dominant pattern is `<source>_connector` for the many integrations, which is consistent. However, the rest mixes styles: `get_*`, `list_*`, `query_*`, `search_*`, and domain-specific families like `canonical_facts_*` vs `canonical_context_get` vs `canonical_decisions_add`. The naming is readable but not uniform.

Tool Count1/5

123 tools is far beyond any reasonable scope for a single MCP server. Even for a multi-service data platform, the catalog is bloated and will overwhelm an agent's context and tool-selection accuracy.

Completeness4/5

The server covers a wide range of data sources (CRM, ads, email, SEO, ecommerce, finance, databases, YouTube) plus meta-capabilities like canonical facts, metric specs, truth sources, and runbooks. Minor gaps exist (e.g., most connectors are read-only, and some umbrella tools may not expose every operation), but the core intent of querying and analyzing business data is well served.
