Implicit Core

Implicit is the experience layer for AI agents.

Virtualize large agent environments. Materialize only the state each experience actually needs.

Implicit Core is AI agent experience/environment infrastructure from zeitcow/implicit-core, distributed as implicit-ai under Apache-2.0. Current stable: 1.0.1.

Why virtualize an experience?

In agent training and evaluation, the possible environment can be much larger than any individual episode. A warehouse may contain millions of orders; processing one order needs only its inventory and policy records. Instead of eagerly constructing the complete environment for every episode, an Implicit experience addresses a coordinate in a versioned environment. Your adapter supplies the initial pages and loads further required state on demand, including declared dependencies.

An experience is one addressable interaction: instruction, required state, execution and evaluation. The address identifies the environment version and coordinate. Your adapter chooses pages; your existing agent executes; your native evaluator verifies the result. Core records execution state, provenance and explicit recovery.

Immutable source versions, fixed seeds and deterministic adapters, state sources and agents support reproducible episodes. External services and effects need application-owned control or reconciliation; Implicit does not make arbitrary programs deterministic. Architecture explains the conditions.

This works at the logical experience/environment-state layer. VM or container snapshots can supply an execution sandbox; Implicit determines which addressed state is needed inside an experience. FAQ distinguishes this from filesystem paging, dataset streaming, prompt compression and lazy MCP tool discovery.

Use Implicit for large separable state, repeatable identities, expensive environment construction or durable execution evidence. Measure overhead for small, already lazy or mostly accessed environments.

Python 3.11+; zero third-party runtime dependencies. In a fresh virtual environment:

pip install implicit-ai
implicit --version
implicit demo
implicit benchmark

The public toy compares eager and selective serialized state, verifies the shipping result and prints a provenance hash. Its output is its own workload measurement.

The distribution is implicit-ai; the import is implicit. Use an isolated environment because the unrelated implicit recommendation library shares that import namespace. Installation includes Windows setup and verified release artifacts.

Measured evidence and its limits

In the preserved rc1 native systems population, 155/155 comparable cases preserved equivalent state, tool behavior and reward.

Keep your existing stack

Keep your agent, learner, framework and evaluator. Build an adapter in your project using ordinary Python protocols:

Universe proposes versioned addresses
  -> Environment plans required pages
  -> ResourceSource loads pages as needed
  -> existing agent executes
  -> native Evaluator verifies
  -> Core records provenance and recovery state

Adapter contract, agent integration prompts and three public adapter shapes show the mapping. With the public repository downloaded and the package installed:

python -I examples/core_adapters.py

No allocator or new learner is required. Default selection preserves your proposed order. Core does not establish improved learning, general speedups, allocator superiority or universal infrastructure guarantees.

Let a coding agent try Implicit

The package includes eight bounded local stdio MCP tools for synthetic addressing, paging, provenance and validation. MCP quickstart gives Codex, Claude Code, VS Code and Cursor configurations. Real environment adapters use the Python SDK.

Repository plugin packages integration guidance and local MCP configuration. Public directory acceptance and hosted ChatGPT connectivity are separate; see the dated ecosystem status.

Documentation

Demo, benchmark and local MCP make no outbound connections. Python adapters are trusted application code and may use your services. There is no product telemetry. Journals may retain application data; see SECURITY.md.

Available Tools

8 tools
implicit_address_experienceB

Address a coordinate in a known synthetic universe, without loading state. Mutates memory (max 64 addresses/server); returns immutable address/provenance.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
coordinateYes
universe_idYes

TDQS

B3.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations declare the mutation/safety profile (readOnlyHint=false, idempotentHint=false, destructiveHint=false), and the description adds real context beyond them: it mutates memory, is capped at 64 addresses per server, and returns an immutable address/provenance. It does not explain what happens on exceeding the cap or how conflicts are resolved, but the added behavioral detail is substantive and consistent with the annotations.

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 dense, front-loaded sentences with zero filler; the action leads, and the mutation/capacity/return facts follow compactly. Nothing is redundant.

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

Completeness3/5

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

For a two-parameter mutating tool with no output schema, the description covers mutation, the capacity ceiling, and the return shape. It still omits capacity-exceeded behavior, idempotency semantics, and the coordinate/universe_id formats, leaving meaningful gaps for a state-mutating operation.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

With 0% schema description coverage on two parameters, the description carries the full burden. It only loosely references a 'coordinate' and a 'known synthetic universe' and never explains the universe_id format (pattern u[1-9][0-9]?) or the coordinate range (0-999999), leaving both parameters effectively undocumented.

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?

States a specific verb (address) and resource (a coordinate in a known synthetic universe), and the distinctive 'without loading state' phrasing separates it from state-loading siblings like implicit_materialize. The domain jargon ('synthetic universe', 'address an experience') keeps it a notch below fully transparent, but the action is clear.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

There is no explicit when-to-use or when-not guidance, and no sibling is named as an alternative. 'Without loading state' hints at a contrast with state-loading tools but leaves the agent to infer when to reach for this over implicit_materialize or implicit_inspect_state.

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

implicit_benchmarkA
Read-onlyIdempotent

Run the fixed offline eager versus Implicit public toy benchmark. Ephemeral memory only; reports equivalence/serialized bytes/timing and limited scope, no RC reproduction.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No parameters

TDQS

A3.8/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, closed-world behavior, so the safety bar is low. The description still adds real value beyond them: ephemeral-memory-only operation, the metrics reported (equivalence, serialized bytes, timing), and an explicit scope limitation ('no RC reproduction'). That extra disclosure is what lifts this to a 4.

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 tight sentences, front-loaded with the action and resource, then the scope caveats. No sentence is filler, though 'no RC reproduction' is jargon that costs a little clarity without adding length.

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?

There are no parameters and no output schema, so the description carries the full burden of describing what comes back, and it does name the reported results (equivalence/serialized bytes/timing) plus the ephemeral and limited-scope constraints. Complete enough to call correctly, with only the sibling-relationship unspecified.

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 takes zero parameters, so per the rubric the baseline is 4. The description sensibly adds nothing about parameters because there are none; there is no gap to compensate for.

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?

States a specific verb (Run) and a well-defined resource (the fixed offline eager-vs-Implicit public toy benchmark), so an agent knows this is a benchmark execution tool. It does not differentiate itself from the sibling implicit_* tools, which is the only thing keeping it out of the top band.

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 implies when it applies via 'fixed offline ... public toy benchmark' and 'limited scope, no RC reproduction', which tells an agent this is a narrow reproducibility check. However, it never states when to prefer this over siblings or what preconditions must hold, so usage is only implied.

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

implicit_create_universeA

Create a process-local synthetic warehouse universe. Mutates memory only; max 16 universes. Returns handle/version; no files or external execution.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
countYes

TDQS

A3.5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

The description adds substantial context beyond the annotations: mutation is memory-only with no files, there is a hard cap of 16 universes, no external execution occurs, and a handle/version is returned. These are precisely the behavioral traits an agent needs before invoking a non-idempotent, non-read-only creation call.

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?

Three tight clauses, front-loaded with the verb and resource, then side-effect scope, then limit and return value. Every clause carries information; nothing is padding.

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

Completeness3/5

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

For a one-parameter tool with annotations and no output schema, the description covers side effects, the cap, and the return shape well. However, it leaves the meaning and units of 'count' undefined and does not address failure modes when the 16-universe cap is hit, which is the most likely error an agent will encounter.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 0% and the single parameter 'count' is never explained in the description. Worse, the description's 'max 16 universes' sits awkwardly against the schema's maximum of 1000000 for count, leaving it unclear whether count is a number of universes (contradicting the cap) or something else. The description does not resolve this ambiguity.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Create a process-local synthetic warehouse universe'), which is far more informative than the tool name alone. It does not explicitly contrast itself with siblings like implicit_inspect_universe or implicit_materialize, but the 'create' framing makes the distinction reasonably inferable.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

There is no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance and no alternative is named. The 'max 16 universes' limit implies scarcity pressure but does not tell the agent which sibling to prefer or under what condition.

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

implicit_get_provenanceB
Read-onlyIdempotent

Read immutable address/source version/hash and materialization hashes for an addressed experience. Does not execute an agent or load state.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
coordinateYes
universe_idYes

TDQS

B3.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, and closed-world, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds real context beyond them: the returned data is immutable and the call neither executes an agent nor loads state, which is meaningful behavioral disclosure for an agent choosing between read and execute paths.

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 tight sentences with no filler, and the core purpose is front-loaded before the negative scoping clause. The stacked noun phrase 'address/source version/hash and materialization hashes' is dense but not wasteful.

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

Completeness3/5

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

There is no output schema, and the description does describe the returned fields at a high level, which is helpful. However, with two undocumented required parameters and no return structure detail, an agent still lacks enough to call this confidently.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0% for both required parameters, and the description never explains what a 'coordinate' is, its valid range, or the universe_id format. The phrase 'addressed experience' faintly gestures at the coordinate concept but adds no usable meaning over the schema.

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?

States a specific verb (Read) and a well-defined resource (immutable address/source version/hash and materialization hashes for an addressed experience). It differentiates itself from sibling mutation tools via the negative clause about not executing an agent or loading state, though it doesn't name a specific sibling to compare against.

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: the 'Does not execute an agent or load state' clause hints this is the safe metadata-only read versus implicit_materialize or implicit_inspect_state, but no alternative tool is named and no explicit when-to-use condition is given.

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

implicit_inspect_stateB
Read-onlyIdempotent

Read materialized resource metadata for an addressed experience. Does not load missing resources. Returns retained serialized bytes, never RAM.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
coordinateYes
universe_idYes

TDQS

B3.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already cover readOnly/idempotent/non-destructive/closed-world, and the description adds meaningful value beyond them: it clarifies that no materialization side effect occurs and that the return is retained serialized bytes rather than live RAM handles. It stops short of describing pagination or size limits.

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?

Three short sentences, front-loaded with the verb and resource, and nothing is padded. Density of jargon ('materialized', 'retained serialized bytes') slightly limits immediate comprehension but every sentence carries information.

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

Completeness3/5

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

Return semantics and the no-load guarantee are well covered for a read-only inspection tool with no output schema, and annotations carry the safety profile. The gap is parameter documentation: with 0% schema coverage, the description should have said what coordinate and universe_id denote.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0% and neither parameter is explained in the description. The phrase 'addressed experience' loosely gestures at 'coordinate', but universe_id and coordinate formats/ranges are left entirely to the schema's type and pattern constraints, so an agent gets no semantic guidance.

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?

States a specific verb (Read) and resource (materialized resource metadata) scoped to 'an addressed experience', which separates it from implicit_create_universe and implicit_materialize. It does not explicitly name how it differs from the close sibling implicit_inspect_universe, so an agent must infer the universe-vs-state distinction.

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?

'Does not load missing resources' is a partial when-not constraint, implying implicit_materialize must run first for un-materialized targets. However, no alternative tool is named and no explicit condition for choosing this over implicit_inspect_universe or implicit_get_provenance is given.

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

implicit_inspect_universeA
Read-onlyIdempotent

Read a known universe handle, version, count and addressed count. Unknown handles fail; no materialization.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
universe_idYes

TDQS

A3.8/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already cover the safety profile (readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive), so the bar is lower, yet the description adds genuine behavior: unknown handles fail, and the call performs no materialization. These side-effect and error semantics are exactly the added value expected beyond annotations.

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 tight sentences, zero filler, with the core verb-resource statement front-loaded and the constraints trailing. Nothing is wasted.

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 single-param, read-only tool with no output schema, the description covers the returned fields, error behavior, and the no-materialization guarantee. It is largely self-sufficient, missing only the parameter format detail already present in the schema.

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?

One parameter with 0% schema description coverage, so the description must compensate. Calling it a "known universe handle" conveys that the value must reference an existing universe, which is real meaning, but the handle's format (the ^u[1-9][0-9]?$ pattern stated only in the schema) is never explained.

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?

States a specific verb (read/inspect) and resource (universe) and enumerates the returned fields: handle, version, count, addressed count. An agent knows it's an inspection tool, though it never explicitly distinguishes itself from the sibling implicit_inspect_state.

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?

"Read a known universe handle" and "no materialization" imply the preconditions (you must already hold a valid handle) and implicitly contrast with implicit_materialize. However, there is no explicit when-to-use routing against implicit_inspect_state or implicit_get_provenance, leaving usage to inference.

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

implicit_materializeB

Load inventory or policy for a previously addressed experience using Core paging. Mutates bounded memory; returns value, serialized bytes and content hash; no execution.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
resourceYes
coordinateYes
universe_idYes

TDQS

B3.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare the mutation/idempotency profile (readOnlyHint=false, idempotentHint=false, destructiveHint=false), and the description usefully adds that memory mutation is bounded, that it returns value/serialized bytes/content hash, and that it triggers no execution. That last clause is genuinely clarifying for a load tool. It doesn't cover failure modes or repeat-invocation behavior, so not a 5.

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 dense sentences, front-loaded with the action and target, then the mutation/return/no-execution facts in a compact semi-colon list. Little waste, though 'using Core paging' is opaque filler for most readers.

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

Completeness3/5

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

With no output schema, the description's return-value disclosure (value, serialized bytes, content hash) is necessary and present. However, for a non-idempotent mutating loader, the semantics of universe_id/coordinate and the consequence of re-invoking are missing, leaving an agent under-informed at call time.

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 0%, so the description carries the param burden. It maps the resource enum values ('inventory or policy'), which is real added meaning, but leaves coordinate and universe_id entirely unexplained beyond the pattern/range constraints already in the schema. Partial compensation only.

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?

States a specific verb (Load) and resource set (inventory or policy) scoped to a previously addressed experience. The domain jargon 'Core paging' and 'previously addressed experience' is not explained, and sibling differentiation is only implicit (it presumes implicit_address_experience ran first), so it falls short of a 5.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

The phrase 'previously addressed experience' hints at a prerequisite, but there is no explicit when-to-use, when-not-to-use, or named alternative among the seven siblings. An agent gets no routing guidance.

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

implicit_validate_adapterA
Read-onlyIdempotent

Validate the built-in warehouse adapter's public plan/source/address/materialization contract with fixed fixtures. Does not import user code; custom adapters require SDK tests.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No parameters

TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly/idempotent/non-destructive/closed-world, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds genuinely new behavioral context: it operates on fixed fixtures and deliberately does not import user code, which bounds what it can and cannot prove.

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 tight sentences with no filler. The core action and its scope are front-loaded, and the caveat about custom adapters follows immediately after.

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 zero-param, read-only validation tool whose annotations carry the safety profile, the description covers what is validated and its scope limits. The only minor gap is that it does not hint at what a run returns (pass/fail detail), and there is no output schema to fall back on.

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 takes zero parameters, so the schema-complete baseline of 4 applies; there is nothing for the description to compensate for, and it adds no misleading parameter claims.

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?

States a specific verb (Validate) and a well-defined resource: the built-in warehouse adapter's public plan/source/address/materialization contract, run against fixed fixtures. It is clearly distinct from siblings like implicit_benchmark or implicit_inspect_state, though it does not explicitly name a sibling to contrast with.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Gives a clear exclusion and a redirect: 'Does not import user code; custom adapters require SDK tests.' An agent knows this tool only applies to the built-in adapter and where to go for custom adapters, but there is no explicit statement of when to run it versus implicit_benchmark or the inspect tools.

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

A3.7/5.0

Scored across 8 tools

Disambiguation4/5

Each tool targets a distinct stage of the universe lifecycle (create, address, materialize, provenance, benchmark, validate), so purposes are largely separable. However, inspect_universe, inspect_state, and get_provenance are all read-only tools over related objects and could be confused without careful reading.

Naming Consistency4/5

All tools share a consistent `implicit_` snake_case prefix, which is predictable. Minor deviations exist: `implicit_materialize` and `implicit_benchmark` are bare verbs/nouns rather than the verb_noun pattern used elsewhere (create_universe, inspect_state).

Tool Count5/5

Eight tools is well-scoped for a synthetic universe engine, covering creation, addressing, materialization, inspection, provenance, benchmarking, and validation. Each tool earns its place without redundancy.

Completeness4/5

The surface covers the full pipeline from universe creation through materialization and provenance, plus validation and benchmarking. The main gap is the absence of any delete/unload or reset operation despite explicit memory caps (16 universes, 64 addresses).
