use_preset_schema

Apply a bundled preset schema to your config.toml to activate schema validation. Optionally copy the schema file for editable customization.

Instructions

Wire a bundled preset schema into the user's config.toml.

By default this just sets schema = "<preset_name>" in config.toml (lowest friction; keeps using the version-controlled bundled file). Pass copy=true to copy the preset into output_path (or the user config dir) and reference that copy via schema_path — use this when the user wants a personal, editable copy.

Refuses to overwrite an existing target file when copy=true unless overwrite=true.

role is the MCP permission level to persist in config.toml. Pass one of CONTRIBUTOR / GENERATOR / MANAGER (see propose_initialization_options for descriptions). When omitted, CONTRIBUTOR is persisted so the server leaves onboarding mode on next restart. Without persisting a role the server stays stuck on the onboarding tool surface.

Behavior5/5

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

With no annotations, the description fully discloses behaviors: default behavior sets schema in config.toml, copy copies the file, refuses overwrite unless specified, and not persisting a role keeps the server in onboarding mode. No contradictions.

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?

Front-loaded with clear purpose, uses structured paragraphs and bullet points. Every sentence adds essential information without redundancy, achieving high information density.

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?

Covers all critical aspects: default versus copy, overwrite protection, role persistence consequences, and references to other tools. The presence of an output schema means return values need not be described.

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?

Despite 0% schema coverage, the description adds meaning to key parameters: preset_name, copy, overwrite, role, and output_path (via copy context). However, taxonomy_path and update_config are not explained, leaving some gaps.

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 clearly states the tool wires a preset schema into config.toml, specifying two modes (default and copy). It distinguishes itself from siblings like set_active_schema and list_preset_schemas by its unique action of modifying config.toml.

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?

Explicitly explains when to use copy=true versus default, warns about overwrite behavior, and details the role parameter's effect on onboarding mode. Points to propose_initialization_options for role descriptions, guiding when to use alternatives.

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