AI Design Blueprint Doctrine

Official

examples.search

Read-onlyIdempotent

Search curated implementation examples by query, filtered by principle, difficulty, or library. Returns ranked matches with details and source-code link.

Instructions

Search curated examples by free-text query, ranked by relevance, with optional filters: principle_ids (only examples covering those principles), difficulty (beginner/intermediate/advanced), library (e.g. 'langgraph', 'openai'). Returns each match's slug, title, summary, principle coverage, difficulty, library, and source-code link — slug is the handle examples.get hydrates. Default limit 5, capped server-side. Use this when the user describes a use case, technique, or library and wants matching examples; prefer examples.get when you already have the slug; prefer guides.search when the user wants a full walkthrough; prefer principles.search when the user wants doctrine guidance, not an implementation.

TDQS

A4.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare read-only, idempotent, non-destructive. The description adds return fields, relationship to examples.get via slug, default limit 5, and server-side cap, which are useful 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?

Single paragraph, front-loads core purpose, then details filters, return fields, and usage guidance—every sentence earns its place without waste.

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?

Given the tool's complexity (multiple optional filters, output schema), the description fully explains inputs, outputs, and relationship to other tools, making it completely informative.

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% with descriptions. The description adds context for filters (e.g., principle_ids, difficulty, library) and default limit behavior, providing extra meaning beyond 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 searches curated examples by free-text query with ranking, and distinguishes it from siblings like examples.get, guides.search, and principles.search, providing specific verb and resource.

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?

Explicit guidance on when to use (user describes a use case, technique, or library) and when to prefer alternatives (examples.get for known slug, guides.search for walkthrough, principles.search for doctrine), leaving no ambiguity.

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