Add Node

clipform_add_node

Add a new node to an existing form. Inserted before the end screen by default; after_node_id controls insertion position. Inserting into a linear flow automatically re-links the chain (the node before the insertion point points to the new node, which points to what followed) - you do not need clipform_set_logic for a simple insert. Branching still needs an explicit logic write. Node types and config schemas match clipform_create_form.

TDQS

A4.6/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations cover the safety profile (readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=false), and the description adds real behavioral context beyond them: default append-before-end-screen placement and automatic chain re-linking on linear insert. It does not spell out that repeated calls create duplicate nodes or note any permission requirements, so it is strong but not exhaustive.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Three sentences, all front-loaded and purposeful: purpose, insertion mechanics, then the logic-relinking implication. No filler or restatement of the title.

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?

For a mutation tool with a nested node object, an output schema, and full annotation coverage, the description supplies the key operational facts (positioning, relinking, where to find config schemas). It leaves minor gaps around duplicate-insert semantics and permissions, but nothing that would cause a misinvocation.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3; the description earns more by clarifying default insertion ('Inserted before the end screen by default; after_node_id controls insertion position') and by cross-referencing clipform_create_form and clipform_get_guide for config shapes rather than duplicating them.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Add a new node to an existing form') and immediately scopes it with default insertion position, cleanly separating it from siblings like clipform_update_node and clipform_delete_node. It also anchors node typing to clipform_create_form, so an agent knows the shapes before opening a schema.

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?

Gives explicit when/when-not guidance: use this for a simple insert because linear re-linking is automatic and 'you do not need clipform_set_logic', while branching 'still needs an explicit logic write'. It names the alternative tool and the condition that selects it.

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