omega_write_handoff

Creates a SHA-256 sealed handoff document that auto-loads on server restart to preserve session context and progress.

Instructions

Creates a SHA-256 sealed handoff document that auto-loads on the next server restart via omega://session/preload. Use this at the end of a session to ensure seamless context continuity for the next session. Returns JSON with fields: handoff_hash (hex string), file_path (string).

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

No annotations present, so description carries full burden. It discloses the creation (write operation), the SHA-256 sealing, and the auto-load behavior on restart. However, it does not mention potential side effects or permissions.

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?

Three sentences with no extraneous information. Front-loaded with the primary action and key property (SHA-256 sealed handoff). Efficient and well-structured.

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?

The description explains the tool's purpose, usage timing, and return format. For a tool with 6 parameters and no output schema, it is fairly complete. Could mention error conditions, but overall adequate.

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 describes each parameter (task, summary, etc.). The description adds overall context but does not provide additional meaning beyond the schema.

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?

Description clearly states it creates a SHA-256 sealed handoff document that auto-loads on server restart. The specific verb 'creates', resource 'handoff document', and the unique URI 'omega://session/preload' make the purpose distinct from sibling tools like omega_seal_run or omega_log_session.

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?

Explicitly instructs to use 'at the end of a session to ensure seamless context continuity for the next session.' Provides clear when-to-use guidance, though it does not discuss alternatives or when not to use.

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