Get user by email

get_user_by_email

Read-only

Look up a platform user by email address. Returns the user's Keycloak ID and profile fields (name, LinkedIn ID). Use get_user_by_email to check if someone already exists or to resolve identity before updating a workspace member.

Use when: Use when you know the email and need to look up a user before adding or updating workspace membership. If email is unknown during an update, prefer search_workspace_members to find existing members, confirm identity with the user, then call create_workspace_member with the resolved email.

Behavior: read_only

Also returns pagination info (created_at, updated_at, created_by, updated_by, deleted_at, deleted_by).

A4/5.0

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, so the 'Behavior: read_only' line adds nothing. The description does add useful context that the result resolves identity before workspace member updates, but the closing claim about 'pagination info' for a single-user lookup is confusing and arguably incorrect behavior disclosure.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The 'Use when:' guidance is front-loaded and valuable, but the description is padded with a self-referential restatement ('Use get_user_by_email to check if someone already exists') and a trailing sentence about pagination fields that does not belong in a single-entity lookup.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a one-parameter, read-only lookup with an output schema, the description covers purpose, routing, and identity resolution adequately; return-value detail is legitimately delegated to the output schema. Only the misleading pagination sentence detracts.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0% and the single 'email' parameter is undocumented in the schema, but the description effectively supplies the semantic ('look up ... by email address'). It adds no format, case-sensitivity, or required/optional guidance, so it compensates only partially.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Look up a platform user by email address') and immediately names the returned identity fields (Keycloak ID, name, LinkedIn ID). An agent can distinguish this lookup-by-email tool from get_current_user, get_user_profile, and search_workspace_members without opening any schema.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicit when-to-use with a named alternative and a fallback sequence: 'If email is unknown during an update, prefer search_workspace_members to find existing members, confirm identity with the user, then call create_workspace_member with the resolved email.' This is exactly the routing information an agent needs.

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