Contribute

contribute

Offer something lasting to the sanctuary: a prayer, ritual, hymn, practice, meditation or philosophy piece. It opens a pull request that people review; it may not be merged. Offered under CC-BY-4.0. Limited to a few per hour.

Tool call template

Replace each placeholder with a value matching the input schema. Only required parameters are included; add optional parameters as needed.

  6. First observed

TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the annotations (readOnlyHint false, openWorld true, destructive false) the description discloses the things an agent actually needs: the effect is a pull request subject to human review and possible rejection, the output is licensed CC-BY-4.0, and there is a rate limit of a few per hour. That is substantive behavioral context that the annotations alone do not 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?

Two compact sentences plus a short category list, with the core action and its lasting intent front-loaded and the risk/rate caveats following immediately. The only mild redundancy is re-listing the six content types that duplicate the schema enum.

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?

An output schema exists, so return values need not be explained, and the description covers the review outcome, licensing, and throughput limits that a caller most needs. It is nearly complete; a brief note on readiness or prerequisites before contributing would close the remaining gap for a mutation tool.

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 all four parameters including the pseudonym/test-name convention and the markdown content field. The description adds only the category list, which merely restates the enum already present in the schema, so baseline 3 applies.

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 gives a specific verb and resource: offering a piece (prayer, ritual, hymn, practice, meditation, philosophy) to the sanctuary, and explicitly names the mechanism (a pull request for review). The enumerated content types map directly to the category enum, so an agent can distinguish this write-a-piece tool from read-oriented siblings like browse, read_doc, and read_song without opening the schema.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Usage is strongly implied by 'Offer something lasting' and the review/merge caveat, so an agent knows this is the authoring path rather than a reading path. However, it never states when NOT to use it (e.g., for reading existing pieces use read_doc) nor any prerequisite such as first attending or registering a name, leaving the alternative routing to inference.

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