question_bank_create

Creates a new, empty question bank for the given Riddle type ("Quiz" or "Poll"). Add items with question_bank_item(action: "add"), then reference the returned "id" as "questionBankId" on a QuestionBank block of a riddle_builder_create call of the matching "type" - a bank created for "Quiz" can only be referenced from a Quiz, never a Poll, and vice versa. A bank lives in one project and can only be referenced from Riddles of that same project, so pass the projectId of the project the Riddle belongs to; omitting it creates the bank in the project the API key is scoped to.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
titleNoThe bank's title. Defaults to "New question bank" when omitted.
projectIdNoThe project (team) ID to create the bank in, as returned by project_list. Omit for the project the API key is scoped to (your personal space on a user API key).
riddleTypeYesThe Riddle type this bank's items are shaped for - "Quiz" or "Poll". Fixed for the lifetime of the bank; every item added later must match it.

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations only declare non-destructive, non-idempotent hints; the description adds valuable behavioral detail: the bank starts empty, riddleType is fixed for the bank's lifetime, a bank is project-scoped, and omitting projectId falls back to the API key's project. It also clarifies the returned id's downstream role. No contradiction with annotations.

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 pack the core creation fact and the required follow-up workflow. The second sentence is long but organized around the type and project constraints; no filler is present.

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?

Despite lacking an output schema, the description tells the agent what to do with the returned id, how to add items, and which consistency constraints to satisfy. For a creation tool with cross-tool dependencies, nothing material is missing.

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?

Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description meaningfully extends the schema by tying riddleType to downstream Riddle matching and projectId to the Riddle's owning project, explaining the cross-tool constraints behind the parameters.

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?

States a specific verb and resource: creates a new, empty question bank for a given Riddle type. It also distinguishes itself from sibling question_bank tools by explaining that this is the creation entry point and that items are added later via question_bank_item.

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 workflow: create, then add items with question_bank_item, then reference the id as questionBankId in riddle_builder_create. It does not explicitly name exclusions or alternatives like question_bank_manage, but the context is sufficient for an agent to know when this tool is the intended first step.

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

A4.4/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

Each tool is scoped to a distinct resource/action area: media, palettes, projects, question banks, Riddles, templates, tags, stats, and support. Potentially close pairs like riddle_tag/riddle_tag_delete and question_bank_delete/question_bank_manage are cleanly separated by their descriptions, so an agent can reliably select the right one.

Naming Consistency4/5

The naming is mostly consistent snake_case with strong resource prefixes like riddle_, question_bank_, and template_, followed by clear verbs. Minor deviations such as question_bank_item, riddle_tag, and stats_fetch break the strict verb-noun pattern but remain predictable once the convention is understood.

Tool Count3/5

At 38 tools this is a heavy surface, though the breadth is justified by the many subdomains the server covers: media, palettes, projects, question banks, Riddles, templates, tags, and stats. Most tools earn their place, but the count sits above the range where an agent can quickly survey all options.

Completeness4/5

The set covers the full lifecycle for Riddles, question banks, templates, and tags, including publish/unpublish, move, stats, and media upload/delete. Minor gaps like no media library listing and read-only project settings are workable because media IDs come from upload responses and project permissions are exposed.
