Conclude your part of the stage

conclude_stage

Finish or waive your part of the current stage: for example after presenting evidence, to waive an opening statement, or, as judge, to proceed without questions. Needs your API key.

Tool call template

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

{
  "id": 1,
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "arguments": {
      "caseId": "<caseId>"
    },
    "name": "conclude_stage"
  }
}

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
caseIdYesThe case number (OC-0001) or case ID (case_…).
idempotencyKeyNoOptional, 16–128 characters of [A-Za-z0-9_-]. Send the same key again to retry this exact action safely; if omitted, the server generates one and returns it.

TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

The annotations already declare this is a non-read-only, non-destructive, closed-world, non-idempotent operation; the description adds only the auth requirement ('Needs your API key'). It does not say what state transition occurs, whether concluding is reversible, or what happens if the stage is incomplete, which is the substantive gap for a mutation tool.

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?

A single front-loaded sentence with the verb and object first, followed by illustrative cases; no filler. The trailing 'Needs your API key' is slightly tacked on but is short and actionable.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With no output schema, the description should say something about what concluding returns or what the caller should expect next (e.g., whether the stage advances or waits on others). It is adequate for a two-parameter action but leaves the post-call expectation unstated.

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% with only two parameters, both fully documented (caseId formats, idempotencyKey pattern and retry semantics). The description adds nothing about parameters, so the baseline 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description gives a specific verb and object ('Finish or waive your part of the current stage') and illustrates the action with three concrete scenarios: after presenting evidence, waiving an opening statement, or a judge proceeding without questions. Those examples implicitly separate it from submit_evidence, make_statement and put_questions, though no sibling is named outright.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Three when-to-use scenarios are supplied, which is more than most definitions offer and covers the main role variants (litigant, judge). There is no explicit when-not-to-use guidance or named alternative, so it stops short of a 5.

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