Advanced: runtime manifest

runtime_manifest
Read-onlyIdempotent

[advanced/internal] Read the machine runtime manifest JSON (version, role, door=fraggate, engine slugs, registry_digest) — not the human how-to. Use this when a client needs the machine manifest rather than the human skill. Do not use it for the default agent how-to or hashed registry discovery; use runtime_skill or fraggate_list instead. Not the default agent path. Does not list hub cards or execute. Returns manifest including door=fraggate and registry_digest.

Output Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
codeNoFragGate or fabric code when present: FG-OK, FG-HALLUC-TOOL, FG-STUB, FG-LOCAL-ONLY, FG-UNKNOWN-OP, FG-GATE-REFUSE, FG-LAMB-REFUSE, or a module refuse such as MESH-* / AKM-*.
doorNoDoor name. The public door is fraggate.
ran_inNoExecution locale (for example aziel-runtime) when present.
resultNoMachine payload. FragGate-style results commonly include ok, code, slug, op, status, engine_slug, engine_op, engine_digest, ran_in, provenance, refusal, limitations, and ledger_tip.
statusNoHTTP-like status when present on wrappers (200 ok; 400+ error / refuse).
displayNoHuman-facing envelope. Show display.action, title, and summary, then take the next input. Never echo raw tool names.
receiptNoOptional receipt, ledger tip, or TemporalLock/ForgeReceipts exit when the door stamped one.
refusalNoExplicit refuse object, code, or message when the door or engine refused.
engine_opNoResolved engine op when present (often inside result).
ledger_tipNoAsk/refuse ledger tip when the door stamped one.
provenanceNoProvenance / input packet when the pipeline attached one.
session_idNoRaw session id when session plumbing was used. Hidden unless the user asked for the chain.
engine_slugNoResolved engine slug when present (often inside result).
limitationsNoCapability limitations or Remain-OFF notes when present.
engine_digestNo64-hex engine_digest when a true in-process engine ran (often inside result).

TDQS

A4.6/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint false, and the description adds useful non-obvious context: it is an advanced/internal path, not the default agent path, and it does not list hub cards or execute. That extra scope clarification goes beyond what annotations alone convey.

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 front-loaded with the tool's purpose and stays reasonably compact, but there is some redundancy: 'not the human how-to', 'rather than the human skill', 'default agent how-to', and 'not the default agent path' all express a similar exclusion. Still, each main fact (purpose, alternatives, exclusions, returns) is present.

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?

Given the empty input schema, the non-destructive annotations, and the presence of an output schema, the description covers everything an agent needs: what the manifest is, which fields to expect, which tools to use instead, and what the tool does not do. Nothing essential 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?

The tool has zero parameters and 100% schema description coverage, so the schema fully documents the call signature. The description adds no parameter detail, but none is needed; the baseline of 4 for a no-parameter tool is appropriate.

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 names a specific verb ('Read'), resource ('machine runtime manifest JSON'), and enumerates key fields (version, role, door=fraggate, engine slugs, registry_digest). It also explicitly differentiates this tool from runtime_skill and fraggate_list, so an agent can distinguish it from siblings immediately.

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?

Provides explicit when-to-use guidance ('when a client needs the machine manifest rather than the human skill') and explicit when-not-to-use guidance ('Do not use it for the default agent how-to or hashed registry discovery'), naming two alternative tools. This leaves no ambiguity about selection.

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