submit_paste

Read-onlyIdempotent

Rank pasted token counts locally to preview your cascade yield, leverage, and velocity. Use for instant local scoring from ccusage or dashboard data without publishing.

Instructions

Ranks a paste of token counts locally and shows the cascade result (yield, leverage, velocity, class, card). This is a PREVIEW-ONLY tool — it does not publish to the board. The board's /api/v1/ingest-paste endpoint now requires an authenticated Supabase session, which MCP tools do not carry. To publish to the leaderboard, use submit_verified (which signs and posts to /api/v1/snapshots via the enrolled-device path) or submit directly through the signalaf.com web UI. Use this when you have token counts from ccusage or a dashboard and want to see your score instantly. Do NOT use this if you want to pull your local usage automatically — use tokenpull_submit for the zero-paste flow. Do NOT use this for multi-window dashboard pastes — use rank_windows to rank them first.

Input Schema

TDQS

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already assert readOnlyHint and idempotentHint, and the description is fully consistent with that while adding real context: it does not publish, and the board's ingest endpoint now requires an authenticated Supabase session that MCP tools do not carry. This explains the behavior rather than just restating the safety flag.

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?

Longer than average but front-loaded with the critical preview-only constraint and the routing rules that matter most. Every sentence carries routing or behavioral value; only mild trimming of the endpoint detail would be possible without losing meaning.

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?

The tool has an output schema, so return values needn't be explained, and the description still names the cascade fields produced. Combined with the strong routing guidance and the preview-only clarification, an agent has everything needed to select and invoke it correctly.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents both text and codename, including the JSON and whitespace-separated formats. The description adds no parameter detail beyond the schema, making 3 the correct baseline.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Ranks a paste of token counts locally') and immediately resolves the naming trap by declaring it PREVIEW-ONLY rather than a submission. It names the cascade outputs (yield, leverage, velocity, class, card), so the agent knows exactly what the tool produces.

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 explicit when-to-use ('when you have token counts from ccusage or a dashboard') and two explicit when-not rules with named alternatives: tokenpull_submit for the zero-paste flow and rank_windows for multi-window pastes. It also points to submit_verified and the web UI for actual publishing.

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