Add a kind of record

add_type

Create a new content type for items people keep, such as contacts or recipes, with its own page, records, and fields; define the title field first.

Instructions

Make a new content type, for everyone: a kind of thing the person keeps, such as habit, contact or recipe, with its own page at /t/, its own records and its own fields. Give the title field first.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
nameYesSingular, lowercase, such as contact.
propertiesYesThe fields, the title first (a string).
descriptionNoOne sentence: what one of these is.

A3.7/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare the mutation profile (readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=false), so the safety baseline is covered. The description adds real behavioral context beyond that — the type is 'for everyone' (global/shared visibility) and materialises as a page at /t/<name>. It omits permission requirements and what happens on a duplicate name, so it is solid but not rich.

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?

Two sentences, purpose front-loaded ahead of the one actionable instruction. The first sentence is dense but every clause (examples, URL, records, fields) earns its place; 'for everyone' sits slightly awkwardly mid-sentence.

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

Completeness4/5

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

For a creation tool with no output schema and 100% schema coverage, the description plus annotations cover the essentials. The main remaining gap is behavior on conflicts (idempotentHint=false, but the description never says whether a duplicate name errors or duplicates), which matters for correct invocation.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents name, properties, description, and the full field sub-schema. The 'Give the title field first' instruction adds ordering emphasis, but it largely restates what the schema already says about the properties array. Baseline 3 is appropriate when the schema carries the load.

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 states a specific verb and resource ('Make a new content type') and defines the abstract concept with concrete examples ('habit, contact or recipe') plus concrete consequences (own page at /t/<name>, own records, own fields). An agent can distinguish this from add_field and create_record without opening either schema, since it is explicitly about creating a whole new kind of thing rather than a field or an instance.

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?

Usage is only implied: an agent infers this is the tool for introducing a brand-new record kind when none exists. There is no explicit when-to-use statement, no mention of prerequisites (e.g., needing a workspace), and no named alternative such as add_field for extending an existing type.

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