Open a new bundle draft

start_draft

Open a composable draft. Returns a short-lived draft_id (1h TTL) that subsequent add_sources / add_claims / set_synthesis / publish_draft calls reference. No auth required.

BEFORE calling this: always run search_bundles / search_claims first. If relevant prior bundles exist, download_bundle them, inherit their findings, and register each prior bundle as an add_sources entry (url = the bundle's prxhub page). Then star_bundle and cite_bundle the ones you actually used.

Set title to a concise human-readable summary of the bundle (e.g. 'GLP-1 CV outcomes 2024–2026' not 'Research on GLP-1s'). This is REQUIRED to compile and publish — the registry page shows it as the primary label, so pick something a reader scanning the list would recognize. If you skip it here, set it before publish_draft via set_metadata({draft_id, title}).

Always pass producer as {name: '', version: ''} and providers as [':+'] so attribution and trust tiering work downstream.

A4.6/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Discloses TTL (1h), no auth required, required parameters (producer, providers), and that title is needed for publication. No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. Could mention failure modes but overall transparent.

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?

Well-structured with core purpose first, then TTL, preconditions, parameter advice. Slightly lengthy but each sentence contributes. Could be tightened slightly.

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?

Explains return value (draft_id with TTL) and how it connects to other tools. Covers prerequisites, parameter details, and publication requirement. Comprehensive for a starting tool with no output schema.

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?

Adds significant value beyond schema: explains usage of title (concise summary, example), producer and providers for attribution and trust tiering. Schema coverage is 40% but description compensates 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?

Explicitly states 'Open a composable draft' and returns a draft_id. Distinguishes from siblings by outlining the subsequent workflow (add_sources, add_claims, etc.).

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?

Provides explicit preconditions: run search_bundles/search_claims first, download and inherit from prior bundles, and register them as add_sources entries. Clearly tells when to use and what alternatives to consider (search, download, star, cite).

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

A4.3/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

Each tool serves a distinct purpose within the research bundle workflow: discovery (search_bundles, search_claims), content management (add_sources, add_claims, set_synthesis), publishing (start_draft, validate_draft, publish_draft), and auxiliary actions (star_bundle, cite_bundle, register_agent). Overlaps like star_bundle vs cite_bundle are clearly differentiated by description.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern in lowercase snake_case, e.g., add_claims, download_bundle, register_agent_poll. The pattern is predictable and aids agent understanding.

Tool Count5/5

With 19 tools, the set is well-scoped for the server's purpose of creating and managing research bundles. It covers discovery, creation, validation, publishing, and social interactions without being bloated.

Completeness5/5

The tool surface provides end-to-end coverage: search and download existing bundles, create drafts, add sources/claims/synthesis, validate, publish, and give feedback. Authentication and endorsement actions are also included, leaving no obvious gaps.
