trove_init

Scaffold a git-backed vault for encrypted secrets: create directories, generate age keypair, write configuration files, and set up pre-commit safety hook. Idempotent.

Instructions

Scaffold the trove vault at TROVE_PATH: create directories, generate or register the age keypair, write trove.toml, .gitignore, CONVENTIONS.md and a pre-commit safety hook. Idempotent. Returns paths created, the recipient, and a key-backup warning.

Tool call template

This tool declares no required parameters. Add optional parameters from the input schema as needed.

{
  "id": 1,
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "arguments": {},
    "name": "trove_init"
  }
}

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
langNoUI language: 'en' or 'it' (default en).
recipientNoExplicit age public key (age1...). If set, no keypair is generated.
generate_keyNoGenerate a keypair when none exists and no recipient is given (default true).

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries full responsibility. It lists all created files, notes idempotency, and mentions return values including a key-backup warning. However, it could be more explicit about behavior when TROVE_PATH already exists or when files are already present, though idempotency implies safe re-run.

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?

Two concise sentences that front-load the action and immediately list deliverables. Every word adds value; no filler or repetition.

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?

For a tool with no output schema, the description effectively communicates what the tool does and what it returns (paths, recipient, warning). It covers the full scope of a vault initialization task and aligns with the sibling set.

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 input schema covers all three parameters with descriptions, achieving 100% coverage. The description reinforces parameter roles (e.g., generate keypair vs. use recipient) and adds behavioral context like idempotency and return values, providing value 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?

The description clearly states the tool scaffolds a trove vault with specific actions: creating directories, generating or registering an age keypair, and writing several files. It distinguishes itself from siblings by focusing on initialization, which is a unique task among the listed tools.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives. While the sibling names imply this is for initial setup, there is no guidance on prerequisites or scenarios where other tools are more appropriate.

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