actiond_handoff_pack

Read-onlyIdempotent

Generate a complete handoff package with git history, CI/CD results, and task details so another agent can resume work with full context. Returns structured JSON and Markdown summary.

Instructions

Generate a handoff package that lets another agent (or human) resume this work with full context, aggregating git log, ActionD CI/CD verdicts, and — when task_id is given — the task report from the connected task management system. Returns structured JSON plus a ready-to-use Markdown document covering: goal, current state (with evidence level), completed work (recent commits), pending work, known failures, decisions, verification state, and a suggested next action. The markdown field alone is designed to give the receiving agent everything it needs without reading the original session; missing information is marked unknown rather than guessed. Optional path (defaults to the current directory), task_id, project_id, from_agent/to_agent, goal, suggested_next_action, pending_work (comma-separated), and ttl_hours for the validity window (default 24).

TDQS

A3.9/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare read-only, non-destructive behavior, and the description adds meaningful behavioral detail by stating it aggregates external data sources and that missing information is marked unknown rather than guessed. No contradiction with annotations exists.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness2/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is verbose and redundant, repeating the purpose, output format, and parameter defaults across multiple sentences. It could be condensed into a single clear sentence plus a brief output note without losing information.

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?

Despite lacking an output schema, the description explains what the returned JSON and Markdown document contain, including the list of covered sections. It gives enough context for an agent to invoke the tool correctly, especially with all parameters optional.

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 descriptions cover all 9 parameters with 100% coverage, including defaults and conditional behavior for task_id. The tool description largely repeats the schema content and adds little new semantic meaning beyond what is already documented in the parameters.

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 generates a handoff package that aggregates git log, ActionD CI/CD verdicts, and optionally a task report, with the explicit purpose of letting another agent or human resume work with full context. It is distinct from sibling tools like actiond_status or actiond_run_report.

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 makes the primary use case explicit: use this when handing off work to another agent or human and needing consolidated context. It also provides conditional guidance ('when task_id is given') and notes defaults for path and ttl_hours, though it does not explicitly contrast with alternatives.

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