Advanced: open a raw session

runtime_session_open

[advanced/internal] Open a raw session object (session.id). First step of open → policy → exec → receipt(s) → close. Not the default exec path. Use this when you were explicitly asked for raw session plumbing. Do not use it for the default agent exec path or attaching policy to an existing id; use fraggate_call (default) or runtime_session_policy (existing session_id) instead. Write: creates a session with a 6h TTL and receipt cap 64. Re-open on an existing id returns already=true without resetting the chain. Expired sessions refuse session_expired (410). When REQUIRE_TOKEN=1, session mutate needs RUNTIME_TOKEN; missing SESSION binding returns session_binding_missing (503). Prefer leaving sessions to TTL expire. Not chainlock_seal. Empty {} mints sess_ + 32 hex. Optional id is accepted only when it already matches that pattern; otherwise bad_session_id. source is open metadata (default worker). Mutation requires confirm=true (runtime gate) or dry_run=true (preview only, no write). confirm and dry_run stay optional on inputSchema.required. dry_run still returns FG-HALLUC-TOOL, FG-STUB, FG-UNKNOWN-OP, or FG-LOCAL-ONLY when a confirm call would refuse. confirm is consent, not tenant auth, and it does not upgrade shared public-demo isolation. Returns session.id plus the first receipt in the display envelope.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
idNoOptional caller-chosen session id. Must already match sess_ + 32 lowercase hex or the open refuses bad_session_id. Omit to mint one.
sourceNoOptional open metadata label. Default worker. Not a permission and not a catalog slug.
confirmNoDocumented confirmation flag. Optional in inputSchema.required (connector refresh must not break). tools/call still refuses MCP-CONFIRM-REQUIRED when confirm is missing or false unless dry_run=true. confirm is consent to run the call. It is not tenant auth and it does not upgrade shared public-demo isolation.
dry_runNoOptional preview flag. When true, do not write and do not stamp a ledger tip. Allowlist, hallucination, stub, and local-only checks still run and return the same FragGate refuse code a confirm call would get. MCP-DRY-RUN is returned only when that call would have been allowed to proceed. confirm is consent, not tenant auth, and it does not upgrade shared public-demo isolation.

Output Schema

engine_opNoResolved engine op when present (often inside result).
ledger_tipNoAsk/refuse ledger tip when the door stamped one.

TDQS

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations are minimal (readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false), so the description carries the full burden — and it delivers richly. It discloses 6h TTL, receipt cap 64, already=true on re-open, 410 session_expired on expired sessions, REQUIRE_TOKEN/RUNTIME_TOKEN auth, session_binding_missing 503, dry_run preview semantics with FG-HALLUC-TOOL/FG-STUB codes, and confirm as consent-not-tenant-auth. This far exceeds what annotations provide. No contradiction: 'creates a session' (write) is consistent with readOnlyHint=false.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

The description is a dense single paragraph that is information-rich but structurally flat and somewhat repetitive. The caveat 'confirm is consent, not tenant auth, and it does not upgrade shared public-demo isolation' appears three times (description, confirm param, dry_run param). Every sentence earns its place, but the redundancy and lack of structure cost it a higher score.

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 complex advanced/internal tool with 4 optional params and an output schema, the description covers the full lifecycle: creation, TTL, re-open behavior, error codes, auth conditions, confirm/dry_run gates, and return value (session.id plus first receipt). Nothing an agent needs to call it correctly or predict its failure modes 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 adds genuine value beyond the schema: it explains the mint behavior of empty {} producing sess_ + 32 hex, the bad_session_id rejection for non-matching ids, and the interaction between confirm and dry_run (dry_run still returns refuse codes, MCP-DRY-RUN only when allowed). This elevates it above the 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 states a specific verb and resource: 'open a raw session object (session.id)' and positions it as 'First step of open → policy → exec → receipt(s) → close.' It distinguishes itself from siblings by explicitly naming fraggate_call and runtime_session_policy as the tools it is not, so an agent can tell them apart without opening schemas.

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?

The description gives explicit when/when-not guidance: 'Use this when you were explicitly asked for raw session plumbing. Do not use it for the default agent exec path or attaching policy to an existing id; use fraggate_call (default) or runtime_session_policy (existing session_id) instead.' It also states 'Not the default exec path' upfront, leaving 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.
