AI Design Blueprint Doctrine

Official

handoffs.operator

Creates a human-visible support ticket when an agent requires operator assistance for issues beyond its capability.

Instructions

Authenticated — creates a support handoff record when an agent needs human review, account-specific escalation, or operator follow-up that cannot be resolved with the read-only doctrine tools. Persists a SupportHandoff row (reason, topic, page_url, agent_name, agent_platform, trace_summary, user_email) routed to the support inbox; user is contacted by the team. WHEN TO CALL: user explicitly asks for human help, hits a billing/access issue, or the agent has tried the doctrine tools and the user still needs a human. ALWAYS confirm with the user before firing — this creates a human-visible ticket. WHEN NOT TO CALL: proactively, silently, or to log debugging traces (use diagnostic logs instead); for partnerships/agency enquiries (use handoffs.partnership / handoffs.agency); for content questions answerable by principles.search / guides.search. BEHAVIOR: write-only, single insert, side-effecting (creates a ticket the team will see). Auth: Bearer (any plan). UK/EU residency. Response confirms ticket id + topic so the user can reference it.

Behavior5/5

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

Description adds behavioral context beyond annotations: write-only, single insert, side-effecting (creates visible ticket), auth requirements, and UK/EU residency. No contradiction with annotations (readOnlyHint=false, openWorldHint=true, idempotentHint=false, destructiveHint=false).

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?

Well-structured with front-loaded key info, but moderately long. Sections like WHEN TO CALL and WHEN NOT TO CALL are useful. Slightly verbose but not wasteful.

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?

Complete for a handoff tool: covers purpose, usage guidelines, behavior, auth, residency, and response confirmation. Output schema exists (assumed) and description mentions return of ticket id + topic.

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 coverage is 100%, so baseline 3. Description lists fields persisted but does not add significant semantics beyond the schema descriptions. Minor inaccuracy: mentions user_email not in schema, but overall adequate.

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 creates a support handoff record for human review, specifying the action (creates), resource (support handoff record), and context (when agent cannot resolve with read-only tools). It explicitly distinguishes from sibling tools handoffs.partnership and handoffs.agency.

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?

Provides explicit when-to-call scenarios (user asks for human help, billing/access issues, tried doctrine tools) and when-not-to-call (proactively, silently, for logging, partnerships/agency). Also instructs to confirm with user before firing.

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