Add survey response

limesurvey_add_response

Inserts a response into a LimeSurvey survey response table using the RemoteControl API. Provide survey ID and response fields to add a new entry.

Instructions

Insert a response into a survey response table.

Calls LimeSurvey RemoteControl method add_response. Authentication uses the configured service account; do not provide a session key.

Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false. The description adds no new behavioral traits beyond stating it is an insert operation, which is implicit from the name and annotations.

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?

The description is concise with three sentences, front-loading the purpose. The second sentence mentioning the underlying method is somewhat redundant but not harmful. Overall efficient and well-structured.

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

Completeness3/5

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

An output schema exists, so return values need not be explained. However, the description lacks guidance on constructing the response object or common pitfalls, which would be helpful given the nested structure and openWorld annotation.

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?

The input schema covers 100% of parameters with descriptions, and the description does not add additional context or usage notes for the 'response' object or 'survey_id'. Baseline of 3 is appropriate as the schema is self-sufficient.

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 'Insert a response into a survey response table', providing a specific verb and resource. It differentiates itself from siblings like update_response or delete_response by using 'insert', though it does not explicitly name alternatives.

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?

The description only provides authentication guidance ('do not provide a session key'). It lacks information on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as update_response, and does not specify prerequisites or conditions.

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