Process email test message

poll_email_test
Idempotent

Process the latest received message in an email-test session. Idempotent POST: if no message has arrived yet, returns 'pending'; if a message arrived since the last call, parses it and returns full authentication + content analysis. Requires testId from create_email_test. Use to actively trigger parsing after the user reports sending the test mail; use get_email_test for passive status polling without processing. No auth, no destructive side effects.

Tool call template

Replace each placeholder with a value matching the input schema. Only required parameters are included; add optional parameters as needed.

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Adds real context beyond the annotations: idempotent POST semantics, the 'pending' branch when no message has arrived, what a successful call returns (authentication + content analysis), and the no-auth/no-destructive caveats. It doesn't fully clarify what processing does to stored state (e.g., whether a message is consumed once parsed), which is the remaining gap for a readOnlyHint=false tool.

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?

Four tight sentences, front-loaded with the action and outcome branches, then prerequisites, then sibling routing, then safety caveats. No filler.

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?

With no output schema, the description still covers both return branches ('pending' vs parsed authentication + content analysis), the required input's origin, and the alternative tool. An agent has everything needed to call it correctly and interpret the result.

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 coverage is 100% and the schema already documents testId as 'returned by create_email_test', so the description's 'Requires testId from create_email_test' merely restates it. No format or validation detail is added beyond the schema.

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+resource ('Process the latest received message in an email-test session') and scopes it to the latest message only. It is immediately distinguishable from get_email_test, which is named explicitly as the passive alternative.

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?

Gives explicit when-to-use ('after the user reports sending the test mail'), an explicit alternative with its condition ('use get_email_test for passive status polling without processing'), and a prerequisite ('Requires testId from create_email_test'). Nothing is left to inference.

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