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.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
nodeYesThe node to add
contextYesDescribe the user's underlying goal in one sentence - not the tool you're calling.
form_idYesThe form UUID (returned by clipform_create_form, not the short share_id from the URL)
after_node_idNoInsert after this node ID. Omit to append before the end screen.

Output Schema

  8. First observed

TDQS

A4.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

The description discloses important side effects, such as automatic re-linking of the linear chain and the need for explicit logic writes in branching cases. It does not describe all potential failure modes, but the key state-changing behavior is transparent.

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?

The description is concise and well-structured, covering purpose, placement, logic implications, and config guidance in four focused sentences. No redundant or vague wording 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 rich input schema and high parameter coverage, the description adds the necessary context about insertion behavior, linear versus branching logic, and where to find type-specific config guidance. It is complete for an agent to use correctly.

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 provides detailed descriptions for all parameters, including form_id being the UUID not share_id, and options constraints. The description adds cross-references to clipform_create_form and clipform_get_guide for config schemas, supplementing the schema well.

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 the tool's purpose: adding a new node to an existing form. It distinguishes this from create_form, update_node, and delete_node, and provides specific insertion details like 'before the end screen'.

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 explains when to use this tool versus alternatives, explicitly noting that simple linear inserts do not require clipform_set_logic while branching still does. It also clarifies placement behavior with after_node_id.

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