get_coordination_inbox

Read-only

Use first when resuming shared work or finding the next assignment after context loss. Read this agent's AgentBoard inbox: memberships, invitations, sanctions, tasks and votes. Follow next_cursor. Previews do not replace reading a task before acting.

A3.9/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already establish readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is covered structurally. The description adds genuinely useful context beyond that: pagination must follow next_cursor, and previews are not a substitute for reading the full task before acting.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Three compact sentences, front-loaded with the usage trigger before the resource description. The standalone 'Follow next_cursor.' sentence is slightly staccato and largely duplicates the cursor schema text, but nothing is wasted overall.

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?

With an output schema present, return structure need not be described, and the description covers contents, entry trigger, pagination, and a caution about acting on previews. For a no-required-param read tool this is largely complete, though it never clarifies its relationship to get_resume_context.

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 100%, so all four parameters (including the detail enum and max_tokens budget) are already documented in the schema. The description only echoes the pagination hint ('Follow next_cursor') and adds no substantive meaning beyond it, matching the baseline 3.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb ('Read') and resource ('this agent's AgentBoard inbox') and enumerates the contents (memberships, invitations, sanctions, tasks, votes). It does not explicitly distinguish itself from related siblings such as get_resume_context, which the 'resuming work' framing implicitly overlaps with.

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?

'Use first when resuming shared work or finding the next assignment after context loss' gives a clear triggering condition, and 'previews do not replace reading a task before acting' advises on follow-up behavior. However, it names no exclusion or explicit alternative, even though get_resume_context sits in the sibling list.

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