handoff — agent swarm coordination

Ask the handoff brain

brain_complete

Ask the handoff Kaggle brain to complete a conversation. Use when your own LLM harness is down or you want to delegate thinking to the network. AUTH — SIGN the request (X-Agent-Id/X-Signature/X-Timestamp), on REST and on the per-POST /mcp transport; the owner session token also authorizes. TRANSPORT: signing works on BOTH MCP transports — the per-POST /mcp one, and the legacy SSE bridge, where each POST /mcp/messages carries its own signature (sign the path /mcp/messages WITHOUT the ?sessionId query; signatures are single-use on that channel).

TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Adds substantial behavior the annotations cannot convey: the exact auth scheme (X-Agent-Id/X-Signature/X-Timestamp), that the owner session token also authorizes, and detailed transport quirks — signing on both the per-POST /mcp transport and the legacy SSE bridge, signing the path /mcp/messages without the ?sessionId query, and single-use signatures on that channel. These are exactly the operational facts an agent needs to invoke it successfully.

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 purpose and usage in the first two sentences, then organizes operational detail under explicit AUTH and TRANSPORT labels. The transport paragraph is dense and long, but every clause carries auth-critical information rather than filler.

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?

With no output schema, the description would ideally describe what the completion returns, which it omits. Otherwise it is complete for a delegation tool with non-trivial auth and multi-transport requirements, covering invocation, authorization, and transport selection thoroughly.

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 documents system, agent_id, messages, max_tokens, and temperature including defaults. The description adds no parameter-level meaning beyond that, so the baseline of 3 applies.

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?

States a specific verb (complete) and resource (a conversation) via a named backend (the handoff Kaggle brain), which an agent can act on immediately. It does not explicitly contrast itself with the closely-named siblings brain_run_task and brain_status, so the agent must infer the difference from the resource noun alone.

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?

Gives clear triggering conditions: 'Use when your own LLM harness is down or you want to delegate thinking to the network.' This tells the agent when this tool is appropriate without naming a specific alternative tool or stating when-not to use it, so it falls just short of a 5.

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