The tool generates and retrieves assessment questions along with a signed token — it is fundamentally a data retrieval/generation operation with no side effects. It does not create persistent records, modify state, execute code, or perform destructive actions. The output (questions + token) is consumed by the caller's UI for a subsequent scoring step.

Questions about generate_skill_assessment

What does the generate_skill_assessment tool do? +

Generate a skill-proficiency assessment (MCQs) for a learner. You provide a skill, target proficiency, number of questions, and the work item the learner is preparing for. Unfold returns the questions with multiple-choice options, a signed assessment_token, and a proficiency band map. The learner answers in your UI; then call score_skill_assessment with the token and answers. Questions are AI-generated and validated (structural + semantic) before being returned. The assessment_token is HMAC-signed and tamper-proof; it contains the answer key AND per-question facet labels (since v0.7.0) so scoring is stateless and deterministic, and score returns per-facet aggregation without you doing any client-side joins. CHAINING: - work_item_context is the strongest grounding signal: questions get anchored to it instead of being generic textbook items. Pass title + description whenever you have them. - The same work_item_context flows through to score_skill_assessment. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Unfold It MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
