edubase_post_quiz

Create quiz sets containing questions for practice or exams. Configure sequential or all-at-once display modes, copy existing quiz structures, and set assessment types.

Instructions

Create a new Quiz set. Quiz sets are collections of questions that can be used for practice or to power multiple Exams.

Behavior3/5

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

The description adds conceptual context about quiz sets being collections that can power multiple exams, but does not disclose behavioral details beyond the annotations (such as explaining the cloning behavior implied by copy parameters or confirming the non-idempotent creation behavior).

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?

Two sentences with zero waste: the first states the action immediately, and the second defines the resource concept. Every word earns its place with no redundancy or unnecessary elaboration.

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?

Given the rich schema (100% coverage, detailed enums) and existence of an output schema, the description is appropriately minimal. However, it could have briefly mentioned the copying workflow or explicitly noted the relationship to the Exam lifecycle given the tool's complexity.

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?

With 100% schema description coverage including detailed enum explanations for 'mode' and 'type', the description meets the baseline expectation. However, the description text itself adds no parameter-specific semantics beyond what the schema already provides.

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 uses specific verb 'Create' with resource 'Quiz set' and clearly distinguishes the resource from siblings by explaining quiz sets are reusable collections that 'can be used for practice or to power multiple Exams'—implicitly contrasting with single-use exam resources.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description mentions use cases (practice and powering exams) but provides no explicit guidance on when to use this versus the sibling 'edubase_post_exam' tool or when to utilize the copy_settings/copy_questions parameters versus creating from scratch.

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