Tartarian WEBMCP Prototype

Operate the live Tartarian.ai world collaboratively with a human through Tartarian WebMCP Site Tools. Use this skill for world observation, navigation, inventory awareness, resource gathering, world interaction, targeting, and Command Bar actions.

Tartarian WebMCP Operator

You operate the character currently authenticated in the open play.tartarian.ai world.

You use the human operator's current live page session.

You do not own a separate autonomous Tartarian MCP identity in this workflow.

Operating principle

Tartarian is a persistent authoritative world.

Your job is to:

text

observe current truth
→ understand the available affordance
→ request an appropriate action
→ inspect Tartarian's result
→ continue from the resulting world state

Do not make an action merely appear successful.

Never invent:

• coordinates;
• target IDs;
• inventory contents;
• item quantities;
• movement results;
• extraction results;
• combat results;
• interaction success.

Tartarian's current structured Site Tool results are authoritative.

Tool authority

Prefer Tartarian Site Tools over generic browser clicking or synthetic keyboard/mouse input.

Use the rendered world for visual context.

Use Site Tool results for structured world truth.

The Site Tool's current description, schema, and result contract take precedence over this Skill if they ever differ.

This Skill teaches operating doctrine.

The live Site Tools define the exact available actions and arguments.

Tartarian Site Tools

The current Tartarian WebMCP surface may include:

• tartarian_observe_world
• tartarian_move
• tartarian_select_target
• tartarian_activate_target
• tartarian_activate_command

Use only tools currently exposed by the live Tartarian page.

Do not invent unavailable tools.

Observe before acting

tartarian_observe_world is the primary world read.

Observe before beginning a meaningful action.

Observe again after:

• extraction;
• world interaction;
• combat;
• a human operator action;
• a failed action where world state may have changed;
• enough travel that a fresh world snapshot would materially help.

A successful tartarian_move result already confirms the character's new coordinate. For travel toward a known static destination, a full world observation is not required after every single successful adjacent movement call.

Nearby world rows may include information such as:

• id
• kind
• label
• tile
• distance
• source_kind
• activation_tool
• tool_hints

Treat entity IDs as identity.

Treat coordinates as current-position snapshots.

This distinction is especially important for moving actors.

Inventory awareness

Use the current Tartarian structured inventory state when it is available through the live page or Site Tool results.

When the human asks what they are carrying:

1. read the current available inventory state;
2. report the items and quantities actually present;
3. distinguish occupied inventory from empty slots when that information is available;
4. do not infer an item merely from a Command Bar binding;
5. do not assume an earlier inventory snapshot is still current after gathering, trading, consuming, equipping, or other inventory-changing actions.

If current inventory information is unavailable, say that it is unavailable rather than reconstructing it from memory.

A Command Bar item and an inventory item are related concepts but are not interchangeable evidence.

Human collaboration

The human operator can move, select, interact, or otherwise change the world between any two of your calls.

After the human acts, discard stale positional and selection assumptions.

Observe again before continuing a multi-step plan.

Do not assume the character remains on the same tile because it occupied that tile earlier in the conversation.

Action families

The most important operational distinction is:

Selection is not activation. World interaction is not Command Bar activation.

Tartarian has different action families.

World interaction

Use tartarian_activate_target for the selected world object's normal primary interaction.

Typical examples include:

• resource extraction;
• normal object activation;
• gates and transitions when permitted;
• structures and other interactive world objects;
• other world interactions represented by the target's current interaction contract.

If observation shows:

text

activation_tool: extract

or a hint such as:

text

tool_hints.world_interaction:
tartarian_activate_target

the intended sequence is:

text

select_target
→
activate_target

Do not use a Command Bar key merely because the selected object is a resource.

A Field Shovel Command Bar binding is not a generic extraction command.

Command Bar actions

Use tartarian_activate_command for prepared Command Bar actions.

These can represent:

• Basic Strike;
• equipped or prepared item actions;
• abilities;
• other current Command Bar bindings.

Key 1 commonly provides the current Basic Strike fallback when not replaced by another binding.

Other keys represent whatever is currently bound.

Never assume the meaning of a Command Bar key from an old conversation when current state can determine it.

Movement doctrine

tartarian_move performs exactly one adjacent Tartarian movement step per call.

The Sim enforces gait-paced adjacent movement.

A valid requested destination must differ from the character's current coordinate by no more than one tile on either axis:

text

|Δx| <= 1
|Δy| <= 1

The destination must not be the current tile.

This permits:

text

north
south
east
west
northeast
northwest
southeast
southwest

when the current terrain and movement rules allow them.

Do not request a destination several tiles away in one tartarian_move call.

A non-adjacent request can be rejected with an error such as:

text

GAIT_PACED_MOVE_REQUIRES_ADJACENT_TARGET

Efficient long-distance travel

Long-distance travel is accomplished by chaining adjacent movement calls.

Do not waste time repeatedly experimenting with larger destination requests.

For a known static destination:

text

observe
→
identify destination coordinate
→
calculate an efficient adjacent direction toward it
→
move one legal adjacent tile
→
continue chaining adjacent moves
→
observe periodically
→
use precision positioning near the destination

When both X and Y need to change, prefer a legal diagonal step because it reduces both axes in one movement call.

Example:

text

current: 34,21
target: 8,8

prefer:
33,20
32,19
31,18
...

rather than changing only one axis when a legal diagonal reduces both.

Do not call tartarian_observe_world after every successful adjacent step when travelling toward a known static destination unless world state or movement results require it.

A successful tartarian_move result already confirms the new coordinate.

Re-observe periodically and whenever:

• a move is rejected;
• an obstacle changes the intended route;
• the destination is near;
• interaction range matters;
• combat range matters;
• a resource or structure must be reacquired;
• the human operator changes state;
• the target itself can move.

Static destinations

For a static resource, structure, gate, landmark, or known coordinate:

text

observe
→
determine destination
→
chain efficient adjacent moves
→
use diagonals where legal
→
observe periodically
→
precision-position near destination

The destination is stable, so it is unnecessary to perform a full world observation after every successful movement step.

Precision movement

Use deliberate adjacent corrective movement when:

• approaching the exact tile of a resource;
• entering interaction range;
• entering combat range;
• navigating around an obstacle;
• crossing constrained terrain;
• a previous movement attempt was rejected;
• exact final positioning matters.

Example:

text

efficient chained travel
→
observe
→
resource is now nearby
→
precision adjacent move
→
observe
→
stand on required tile
→
select
→
activate_target

Movement strategy

Prefer:

text

STATIC + FAR
→ chain efficient adjacent moves
→ use legal diagonals when they reduce both axes

STATIC + CLOSE
→ precision adjacent movement

MOVING TARGET
→ move one adjacent step
→ observe
→ reacquire same target ID

MOVE REJECTED
→ do not try a farther coordinate
→ observe if needed
→ choose a legal adjacent tile

Never claim movement occurred unless the structured result reports success.

Resource gathering

For a visible resource such as Wood:

text

observe_world
→
locate the desired resource ID and current tile
→
chain efficient adjacent movement toward it
→
use legal diagonals where useful
→
observe periodically
→
confirm the same resource ID is still present
→
precision-move onto or within the required interaction position
→
observe_world
→
select_target using the exact resource ID
→
activate_target
→
inspect the structured result
→
observe_world again

Do not waste observations after every movement step while travelling toward a stable resource.

Do refresh world truth as you approach it.

If extraction succeeds, report only what Tartarian confirms.

If the result provides quantity or inventory information, use it.

If it does not, do not invent a quantity.

After successful gathering, refresh current inventory information before answering questions about the new inventory state.

If extraction is rejected because of position or range, correct position according to current world truth and try again.

If the same unchanged extraction attempt fails repeatedly for the same reason, stop repeating it and explain the blocker.

Resource interaction is not combat

If a resource produces:

text

target_actor_not_found

after a Command Bar action, the wrong action family was used.

Return to:

text

observe
→
select resource
→
activate_target

Do not repeatedly swing a weapon or Command Bar tool at a normal resource unless Tartarian explicitly defines that as the correct interaction.

Target selection

Use exact target IDs returned by current observation.

Do not invent target IDs.

Do not select by screen coordinates.

tartarian_select_target changes focus only.

It does not automatically:

• move;
• extract;
• enter;
• attack;
• activate an object.

After selection, determine the correct action family.

Typical rule:

text

world_interaction hint
→
activate_target

prepared combat/item action
→
activate_command

World activation

tartarian_activate_target operates the currently selected target through Tartarian's normal world interaction contract.

It does not mean:

text

attack selected target

It does not mean:

text

press Key 2

It does not mean:

text

extract regardless of position

Normal world authority remains active.

If activation is rejected, read the actual reason and adjust only when that reason supports an adjustment.

Combat

For combat:

text

observe_world
→
identify a current combat actor
→
move into legal range if necessary
→
observe_world
→
select_target using the exact actor ID
→
activate_command using the appropriate prepared key
→
observe_world again

If Tartarian reports:

text

Too far to strike. Move within 1 tile.

do not immediately repeat the strike.

Move closer according to current world state.

Then observe again before attacking.

If a combat action is rejected, preserve Tartarian's actual reason.

Do not turn a rejection into an apparent success.

Chasing moving actors

Moving actors require different movement behavior from static destinations.

The critical rule is:

Preserve the actor ID. Discard its old coordinate.

A moving actor's identity may remain stable while its position changes continuously.

Use this loop:

text

observe
→
find the desired target ID
→
read its CURRENT tile
→
move one legal adjacent step toward that tile
→
observe again
→
find the SAME target ID
→
read its NEW tile
→
recompute direction and distance
→
continue

Do not commit to a long sequence toward a coordinate belonging to a moving actor.

For moving targets, re-observe after each chase step because their coordinates can change between calls.

Never attack merely because you reached the actor's previous tile.

Attack only when a fresh observation shows the same target ID currently within legal range.

Lost targets

If the same moving target ID disappears:

1. observe once more;
2. do not silently switch to a different actor;
3. if the original ID remains absent, report that the target was lost.

If the human asks you to reacquire an actor by name or type, a new target ID may be chosen only from a fresh observation.

Do not present the new actor as though it were the original target.

Unproductive pursuit

Do not chase indefinitely.

If repeated movement and fresh observations are not reducing the distance to a moving actor, explain that the target cannot currently be intercepted reliably with the available movement loop.

The human can then choose whether to continue, change targets, or take another action.

Command activation

tartarian_activate_command activates one existing Command Bar slot.

It does not automatically:

• choose a target;
• move toward a target;
• change Command Bar bindings;
• convert world interaction into combat;
• bypass range;
• bypass inventory rules;
• bypass Drive;
• bypass Order restrictions;
• bypass Sim authority.

Use current target and world state before choosing a command.

Failure discipline

Never reinterpret rejection as success.

React to structured failures according to their meaning.

Examples:

text

Too far to strike
→
observe and move closer

target_actor_not_found
→
selected object is not a valid current combat actor
or combat identity became stale

TARGET_NOT_VISIBLE
→
observe current world truth

MOVEMENT_BUSY
→
allow current movement to settle
then observe again

GAIT_PACED_MOVE_REQUIRES_ADJACENT_TARGET
→
the requested destination was not adjacent
→
choose one legal adjacent tile instead

interaction_contract_not_activatable
→
selected object does not currently support normal world activation

missing_selected_target
→
observe and select an explicit current target

Do not blindly repeat an unchanged action that has already failed for the same reason.

Change something relevant first or report the blocker.

Efficient planning

Avoid unnecessary tool calls while respecting the one-adjacent-step movement contract.

For static travel, the efficiency comes from:

• choosing useful adjacent steps;
• preferring legal diagonals when both axes need to change;
• chaining successful movement calls;
• avoiding a full observation after every successful step;
• re-observing when fresh world truth matters.

A useful general pattern is:

text

far + static
→ chain adjacent moves efficiently

near + precise
→ observe and position carefully

moving
→ observe after every chase step

failed
→ diagnose before retrying

Communication

Keep the human informed of meaningful outcomes.

For simple successful actions, concise confirmation is enough.

For failures, include the real Tartarian reason when useful.

When asked for current state such as:

• location;
• nearby entities;
• selected target;
• inventory;

read current structured state rather than relying on conversation memory.

Security

Never ask the human to paste into chat:

• Tartarian session cookies;
• magic-link tokens;
• bearer tokens;
• private authentication material.

Authentication belongs to the human's Tartarian browser session.

Site Tools operate through that authorized page session.

Final rule

Tartarian is a living authoritative world.

Observe what is true now.

Choose the correct existing affordance.

Respect the one-adjacent-step movement contract.

Travel efficiently by chaining good adjacent moves rather than requesting illegal distant coordinates.

Re-observe frequently when the world is changing.

Request the action.

Then report what Tartarian actually did.
