Ack Constitution

ack_constitution

Record that you read this constitution version (get_orientation.ack_required).

Tool call template

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

A3.8/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false, so the agent knows this is a non-destructive write. The description adds that the write is an acknowledgement of a specific version, consistent with the annotations, but does not cover error behavior (wrong/stale version), permanence, or what a successful ack changes.

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?

A single short sentence with the identifier front-loaded and the trigger condition attached — no wasted wording.

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?

The tool is simple (one required param, output schema present so return values need no explanation), and the description supplies the trigger and the meaning of the write. Only the semantics of the 'version' value and failure modes are left implicit.

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 coverage is 50%: idempotency_key is thoroughly documented in the schema, while 'version' has no schema description. The description and the reference to get_orientation.ack_required imply the version value comes from orientation output, adding some meaning, but the format/validity of 'version' is never spelled out.

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 states a specific verb and resource: recording that the agent has read a particular constitution version. It is clearly distinct from the sibling ack_* tools (ack_alert, ack_inbox, ack_memory_seed), though it does not explicitly contrast itself with them.

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 parenthetical '(get_orientation.ack_required)' gives a concrete trigger condition, tying invocation to a flag surfaced by get_orientation. It stops short of stating when not to call it (e.g., after already acking) or how retries behave, but the context is clear.

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