Chord / Cookbook / Containers & Locks / opening with a tool

opening, with a tool in the command

open X with Y maps onto the standard opening action (ADR-230 D3b), and an explicitly named tool is a consulted command entity: the tool itself can veto the operation. (The trait-side tool requirement, toolId/toolIds on the openable, is TypeScript territory today.)

The author writes:

create the Cellar
  a room

  Brick arches, cold air, one bare bulb.

create the shipping crate
  aka crate
  openable
  scenery
  in the Cellar

  A pine crate. The lid sits loose on top.

create the letter opener
  aka opener

  Your grandfather's silver letter opener.

  on opening it
    refuse opener-precious
  end on

create the player
  starts in the Cellar
  carries the letter opener

define phrase opener-precious
  You are not prying anything with your grandfather's letter opener.
end phrase

The player sees:

> open the crate with the letter opener
You are not prying anything with your grandfather's letter opener.

> open the crate
You open the shipping crate.
