fork_thesis

Fork a thesis. Two modes: (1) Clone — call with just idOrSlug to copy a PUBLIC thesis verbatim into your collection. (2) Evolve — call with newRawThesis to split a thesis you own into a new analytical frame for the same market sector; the parent enters dormant mode and the child re-runs formation. Use evolve when the current frame is fundamentally inadequate for what the evidence now shows.

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It reveals key side effects: clone copies a PUBLIC thesis verbatim into your collection; evolve splits a thesis you own, the parent enters dormant mode, and the child re-runs formation. This goes beyond simple 'fork' semantics and aids risk assessment.

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 two sentences long, front-loads the verb and resource, and uses a clear two-mode structure. Every sentence earns its place, with no redundant filler or restating of schema fields.

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 two-mode tool with 6 parameters and no annotations or output schema, the description covers mode selection, ownership constraints, and behavioral consequences. It does not describe the return value or potential errors, which would strengthen completeness, but the core invocation knowledge is present.

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 coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds meaningful mode-level semantics: calling with just idOrSlug triggers clone, while including newRawThesis triggers evolve. This explains how the parameters interact beyond their individual schema descriptions.

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 opens with the specific verb 'Fork' plus the resource 'thesis', and immediately distinguishes two clearly named modes (Clone and Evolve) with distinct outcomes. It differentiates itself from siblings like create_thesis and fork_skill by specifying public-copy and own-thesis-split semantics.

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?

The description gives clear context for both modes: clone when copying a public thesis, evolve when restructuring your own thesis. It explicitly states 'Use evolve when the current frame is fundamentally inadequate.' It does not explicitly name alternative tools or state when not to use fork, but the mode guidance is sufficient for selection.

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