guide

Explains how to operate the text-driven DAW as an agent, covering workflow, tool selection, and first-session setup for new users.

Instructions

Read this first: how to use this DAW as an agent (workflow, conventions, which tool for which question). For a person who has made nothing with ismail yet it opens with how to run their first session. first_answer: the person's first answer, verbatim; the reply is then only which words to use with them from now on (musician, when they name an instrument they play, a style they trained in or reading music; otherwise plain words). new_person=True: the person in front of you is new to ismail on a machine where someone else already made songs ("I'm new", a friend at the owner's computer); the first session opens for them, and keeping their sketch marks nothing for the machine's owner.

TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Since no annotations are present, the description must carry the full burden. It provides essential behavioral context not in the schema, such as that sketches are not preserved for the owner when `new_person` is true, which is critical state-management knowledge.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness2/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is excessively long and dense. It starts with a broad mandate ('Read this first: how to use this DAW...') rather than providing a clear, structured summary. The dense paragraphs make it hard for an AI to quickly parse the core intent.

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 metacognitive tool that defines the AI's own operational boundaries and session setup rules, the definition is highly complete. It provides all necessary state machine information for a successful initial call.

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?

Given the 0% schema coverage, the description is highly effective in compensating by defining the behavioral impact of parameters like `new_person` (cleaning the session) and `first_answer` (setting conversational style).

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 purpose is clearly to act as a high-level guide, establishing the workflow and conventions of the DAW. While it doesn't name a specific musical resource, it defines the scope of all subsequent interactions.

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 tells the agent to read it first and to use it to route other questions, functioning as a master guide. It clearly defines the two main usage scenarios: general workflow guidance and initializing a new session state.

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