getBrandKit

Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve a site's brand colors and fonts to ensure design consistency for widgets, pages, and emails. Call once at the start of any design task.

Instructions

Get the site's brand kit (colors + fonts) for design decisions - Return a compact, semantically-labeled brand kit for this BD site - colors (body / primary / dark / muted / success / warm / alert accents, card surface) + fonts (body + heading Google Fonts). Call this ONCE at the start of any design-related task (building a widget, WebPage, post template, email, hero banner - anything where colors or fonts are chosen) so the output visually matches the site's brand.

Handler is synthetic - makes 20 parallel internal calls to /api/v2/website_design_settings/get?property=setting_name&property_value=custom_N&property_operator== (one per brand-kit slot), then transforms the raw custom_N values into semantic labels. Uses BD's canonical mapping (same mapping BD's admin AI Companion applies). Parallel calls complete in ~1s wall-clock on typical sites; well under the 100 req/60s rate limit even on repeated invocations.

No args. Read-only. Safe to call anytime.

Response shape:

{
  body: { background, text, font },
  primary: { color, text_on },
  dark: { color, text_on },
  muted: { color, text_on },
  success_accent: { color, text_on },
  warm_accent: { color, text_on },
  alert_accent: { color, text_on },
  card: { background, border, text, title },
  heading_font: "<google font family>",
  usage_guidance: { primary, dark, muted, success_accent, warm_accent, alert_accent, tint_rule, font_rule }
}

Usage guidance embedded in response - agents should read it every call. Key rules:

  • Primary = brand color - main CTAs, dominant accents.

  • Dark = high-contrast sections or strong backgrounds.

  • Muted = subtle section backgrounds, dividers, badges, pills.

  • Success / Warm / Alert accents = specific semantic states (confirmations / attention / urgency). Use sparingly.

  • Tint rule: derive lighter/darker tints from palette colors for hover states, gradients, low-emphasis backgrounds. Do NOT introduce new unrelated hues.

  • Font rule: the site's body.font and heading_font Google Fonts are already globally loaded by BD. Do NOT redefine them in content_css. To switch to a different font, load it via a <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/..."> tag in content_head — never @import inside CSS (Outlook + some BD widget contexts strip or fail on @import).

When a slot is empty on the site, the handler applies BD's documented fallback defaults (same defaults BD's admin AI Companion uses). Response is never missing keys - every field always has a value.

Auth: X-Api-Key header. Rate limit: 100 req/60s. Caches well on the agent side - the brand kit rarely changes within a session; call once, reuse.

Behavior5/5

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

Beyond annotations (readOnlyHint, idempotentHint), the description details the internal implementation (20 parallel calls, transformation), rate limit behavior, and response shape. It also explains fallback defaults when slots are empty, providing comprehensive behavioral context.

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 lengthy but well-structured with clear sections, bullet points, and front-loaded purpose. Every part adds necessary detail for correct usage, though it could be slightly trimmed without losing clarity.

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?

Given no output schema, the description provides a full response shape with embedded usage guidance, fallback behavior, and caching recommendations. It also mentions auth and rate limits, making it completely self-contained for an agent.

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?

The tool has no parameters, so baseline is 4. The description confirms no args needed and reinforces its simplicity, adding value by explaining it's safe to call anytime with no input required.

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 gets the site's brand kit (colors + fonts) for design decisions. It specifies the exact resource and action, distinguishing it from any sibling tools as no other tool covers brand kit retrieval.

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?

The description explicitly instructs to call this once at the start of any design-related task, provides concrete examples (building a widget, WebPage, etc.), and advises caching. It also mentions it's safe to call anytime and read-only, giving clear guidance on when and how to use.

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