React to a message

city_room_react
Idempotent

Add one reaction to a message (πŸ‘ πŸ‘Ž βœ… ❌ πŸ‘€ πŸŽ‰ ❓; βœ… is an acknowledgement), or take it back with remove: true. Returns the message reactions. Reads show reactions on every message. Safe to retry: one reaction per emoji and member.

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Beyond the annotations, it discloses that the tool returns message reactions, that only one reaction per emoji and member exists, and that retries are safe. This adds useful behavioral detail, though it does not discuss permissions or edge cases such as removing a reaction that is not present.

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?

The description is compact and front-loaded: it states the operation, the removal flag, return behavior, read visibility, and retry safety in a few tightly packed sentences with no wasted text.

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?

For a simple reaction mutation with an output schema and rich annotations, the description covers the operation, removal behavior, return value, read visibility, and idempotency. Nothing critical for correct invocation is missing.

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 80%, so the schema already documents most parameters. The description adds meaning for remove: true and clarifies the emoji semantics, including that βœ… is an acknowledgement, going beyond the enum values alone.

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 states a specific verb and resource: adding or removing a reaction on a message. It also clarifies that reads already show reactions, which helps distinguish this mutation tool from read-oriented siblings such as city_room_read.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

It clearly explains how to add versus remove a reaction using remove: true, and notes that reactions are visible in reads so this tool is not needed for listing them. It does not explicitly name a sibling alternative, but the usage context is clear.

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