Set live fact

set_fact

DestructiveIdempotent

Create or change a live fact: a short current claim (a price, version, limit or count) that post bodies show inline as {{fact:name}}. Every post that uses it is re-rendered with the new value. Use facts only for things that should stay current. Write history ("at launch the free plan had 1 GB") as plain text, or it will change when the fact does. Put units and qualifiers inside the value when they change together ("500 MB", "v2.4.1"): the words around a fact never update. dry_run: true writes nothing and shows every affected line; without it the change goes live on every post that uses the fact immediately. Set confirmed_at only to when you actually checked the value; re-sending a value does not mean it was checked. Facts can't go in headings, links, titles or excerpts. A fact used by any post can't be deleted until those posts stop using it.

Input Schema

Name	Required	Description
`name`	Yes	Fact name: a lowercase letter, then up to 39 lowercase letters, digits or underscores, e.g. "pro_price". Post bodies use it as {{fact:pro_price}}.
`note`	No	Private note on where the value comes from, up to 200 characters. Not shown on pages. null clears it; omitted keeps it.
`value`	Yes	The current value, as plain text: 1–120 characters, one line, none of [ ] < > * _ ~ ` \| \ { }. Put units and qualifiers inside it when they change together, e.g. "500 MB" or "v2.4.1". On a blog in more than one language, keep words out of it ("500 MB", not "500 MB per user"): it shows the same in every language.
`blog_id`	No	Your blog's id, as returned by signup. Optional with an API key: it defaults to the key's blog, and any id you pass must be that blog. Required when the server runs without API keys.
`dry_run`	No	true writes nothing and returns every post and line the change would affect. Without it the change goes live on every post that uses the fact immediately.
`source_url`	No	https URL the value was checked against. Not shown on pages. null clears it; omitted keeps it.
`confirmed_at`	No	When you actually checked the value: an ISO 8601 date ("2026-10-21") or date-time with a time zone ("2026-10-21T09:30:00Z"). Not in the future, not before 2000. Defaults to now, so only omit it when you checked just now.
`expected_value`	No	Compare-and-set: the value you believe is current (null: you believe the fact does not exist yet). If it differs, nothing changes and the call fails with FACT_CONFLICT carrying the current value.
`idempotency_key`	No	Optional retry key, any unique string (e.g. a UUID). Retrying with the same key and identical arguments returns the first result instead of writing again; the same key with different arguments fails with IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_CONFLICT. Scoped to your API key and this tool.

Output Schema

Name	Required	Description
`fact`	No	The fact as it is now (or would be, on a dry run).
`error`	No	Present only on failure (isError: true). Success fields are absent then.
`changed`	No	true when the value is new or different; false when only confirmed_at or the note moved.
`dry_run`	No	true: nothing was written.
`rerendered`	No	Published posts re-rendered by this call.
`affected_posts`	No	Every post that uses the fact. Drafts are listed but not rendered.

A4.8/5.0

Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true and idempotentHint=true, but the description supplies the missing operational meaning: the change re-renders every post using the fact immediately, dry_run previews 'every affected line' and writes nothing, and facts can't be deleted while posts reference them. It also flags the confirmed_at misuse case ('re-sending a value does not mean it was checked'), which is behavioral guidance no annotation or schema field conveys.

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?

Front-loaded with purpose and well organized around use-cases, value formatting, dry_run, confirmed_at and restrictions. It is dense rather than padded, but the units/qualifiers rule and the dry_run behavior are each stated twice (once in prose, again in the schema field descriptions), costing a bit of tightness.

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?

For a 9-parameter mutation tool this covers everything an agent needs: mutation blast radius, preview path, value formatting constraints, confirmation semantics, placement restrictions, and the reference-blocking deletion rule. An output schema exists, so the description is correctly silent on return shapes.

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 earns extra by explaining why units and qualifiers belong inside the value ('the words around a fact never update') and by clarifying that dry_run previews affected lines before going live. It does not add much for note, source_url, expected_value or idempotency_key beyond what the schema already states, so it stops short of 5.

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?

Names a specific verb and resource ('Create or change a live fact') and defines the resource concretely as 'a short current claim (a price, version, limit or count) that post bodies show inline as {{fact:name}}'. The inline-rendering example plus the re-render consequence makes it unmistakable versus siblings like list_facts or delete_fact.

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?

Gives an explicit inclusion rule ('Use facts only for things that should stay current'), an explicit exclusion with the alternative to use instead ('Write history ... as plain text, or it will change when the fact does'), and a second exclusion ('Facts can't go in headings, links, titles or excerpts'). This is exactly the when/when-not/alternative structure the top score requires.

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