add_conversation_note

Add a note to a conversation's notes timeline (visible to the workspace team and clients in the dashboard). Recorded in the workspace Logs with who, IP and time. Max 5000 characters. Prefer this over update_conversation, which cannot change notes.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
textYesThe note text (max 5000 characters).
agentIdYesThe agent ID
convoIdYesThe conversation ID

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Adds substantial context beyond the annotations: audience disclosure (workspace team and clients see the note in the dashboard), audit logging with who/IP/time, and a 5000-character limit. Annotations already establish this is a non-destructive write; the description adds visibility and accountability consequences.

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?

Three tight sentences: purpose first, then behavioral consequences, then the routing hint. Every clause carries information an agent needs; nothing is padding.

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 4-param, non-destructive append tool with full schema coverage and no output schema, everything needed is present: effect, visibility, audit trail, size limit, and sibling preference.

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%, so all four parameters including authorName are documented in the schema itself. The description only restates the 5000-character cap for text, adding nothing new about parameter meaning — baseline 3 applies.

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 ("Add a note to a conversation's notes timeline") and immediately clarifies the effect (visible in dashboard to team and clients). An agent can distinguish it from update_conversation without opening either schema.

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?

Explicitly routes the agent away from update_conversation ("which cannot change notes"), giving an alternative plus the reason. It does not mention the related update_conversation_note or delete_conversation_note siblings, so guidance is clear but not exhaustive.

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