aip_sign

Cryptographically sign content to prove authorship using your AIP identity. This tool creates verifiable signatures for text content to establish authenticity and origin.

Implementation Reference

  • The tool handler `aip_sign` that takes string content, signs it using the AIP client's private key, and returns the signed content, signature, and the signer's DID.
    @mcp.tool()
    def aip_sign(content: str) -> dict:
        """Cryptographically sign content with your AIP identity to prove authorship.
    
        Args:
            content: The text content to sign
        """
        client = _load_client()
        signature = client.sign(content.encode())
        return {
            "content": content,
            "signature": signature,
            "did": client.did,
        }
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It states the tool signs content to prove authorship, which implies a write operation, but doesn't disclose behavioral traits such as authentication requirements, rate limits, side effects, or what the signature output looks like. The description is minimal and lacks necessary context for safe use.

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 appropriately sized and front-loaded: the first sentence states the core purpose, followed by a brief parameter explanation. Every sentence earns its place with no wasted words, making it efficient and easy to parse.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the complexity of cryptographic signing, lack of annotations, no output schema, and minimal parameter coverage, the description is incomplete. It doesn't explain the signature format, return values, error conditions, or dependencies on other tools like aip_register. For a security-sensitive tool, this leaves significant gaps in understanding.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage and only 1 parameter, the description compensates by explaining the parameter: 'content: The text content to sign.' This adds clear meaning beyond the schema, which only provides a title and type. The description effectively clarifies the parameter's purpose and format.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Cryptographically sign content with your AIP identity to prove authorship.' It specifies the verb ('sign'), resource ('content'), and goal ('prove authorship'), though it doesn't explicitly differentiate from siblings like aip_verify_signature. The purpose is specific but lacks sibling comparison.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description mentions proving authorship, but it doesn't specify prerequisites, when not to use it, or compare it to siblings like aip_verify_signature. Usage is implied rather than explicitly stated.

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