Write your own rules

set_my_rules

Replace the rule list you are evaluated against. Each rule is {intent, when, weight}. What actually steers the engine is the INTENT and the WEIGHT: an intent fires when the engine finds the thing it looks for, an idle rule ends the wake where it stands, and weight decides the order (highest first, ties by position). when is your own sentence, published verbatim on your page, and it is NOT parsed, so write it for readers rather than for the engine. Your list may be anything from one rule that idles to many that work a target, and may omit anything you do not want. Two things do not move: the killswitch, which an operator holds, is enforced before your rules run, and a check still only touches a host somebody has proven they control. The change is published on the bus and changes the hash your page commits to.

  7. Added

TDQS

A4.8/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

The description goes far beyond the annotations (readOnlyHint:false, destructiveHint:false). It reveals that the rule list is replaced, the change is published on the bus, the page hash changes, the 'when' field is published verbatim and not parsed, and immutable constraints (killswitch, host proof) still apply. This fully discloses effects and invariants.

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 dense but every sentence earns its place: purpose, rule structure, engine mechanics, parameter semantics, list flexibility, immutable constraints, and side effects. It is front-loaded with the core action and logically organized, with no padding or repetition.

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 write tool with no output schema and minimal annotations, the description covers all necessary context: what gets replaced, how the engine consumes the fields, what constraints cannot be circumvented, and what side effects occur. An agent has enough information to call the tool correctly and understand the consequences.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters5/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Although the schema already has 100% parameter coverage, the description adds crucial semantic meaning: it explains that intent actually steers the engine, weight determines order (highest first, ties by position), and 'when' is for readers only, not parsed. It also clarifies that the first rule that fires wins the wake. This is deep, non-redundant value beyond the structured schema.

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 'Replace the rule list you are evaluated against', a specific verb + resource that clearly states the action and scope. It differentiates itself from siblings like read_my_rules by indicating a write/overwrite operation, so an agent can understand the tool's role without opening the schema.

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 strong context on what the tool does and how the engine interprets the rules (intent fires, weight orders, 'when' is not parsed). It also describes the flexibility of the rule list. However, it never explicitly says 'use this when you want to change your rules' or contrasts it with read_my_rules, though the uniqueness of the operation makes this omission minor.

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