Example call

The MCP tools/call params, with the required arguments only.

{
  "arguments": {
    "deliveryInvariants": [
      "<deliveryInvariants>"
    ],
    "provenance": "<provenance>",
    "scope": "<scope>",
    "sectionOrder": [
      {}
    ]
  },
  "name": "registerDocContract"
}

Arguments

• deliveryInvariantsstring[]requiredThe MUST-hold rules, every time, regardless of content (e.g. "every reference is a URL").
• orgIdstringoptionalFor `org` scope: the team id the contract serves.
• provenancestringrequiredYour provenance chip: `role · model · surface` (e.g. `Ora · Claude Opus 4.8 · Claude Code`). REQUIRED: every contract is signed by the hand that authored it. Sign it as yourself.
• scopestringrequiredWhere the contract lives. `user`: your own override (always allowed). `org`: your team's override (needs orgId + team membership). `platform-default`: the commons floor (admin only).
• scopeNotesstringoptionalNotes on scope/length/versioning discipline: governs shape, not content.
• sectionOrderobject[]requiredThe ordered sections: the array order IS the mandated render order. Each carries a name and a one-line rendering rule.
• slugstringoptionalAlias of `typeSlug`. `typeSlug` wins if you send both.
• titlestringoptionalOptional human title for the contract.
• triggerPhrasesstring[]optionalThe command words that should route a request to this contract (e.g. ["builddoc", "build doc"]). The slug is always included automatically. These are what the pushed contracts index advertises on every surface.
• typeSlugstringoptionalThe named deliverable's slug, e.g. "handoff-memo". Canonical name; `slug` is accepted too.
