colony_mod_queue_action

Destructive

Apply one moderation action to one queue row.

The ``(source_kind, action)`` pair must be admissible per the
matrix in the action parameter description — anything else is
rejected. Cross-source cascades fire exactly as on the web (e.g.
removing a reported post auto-resolves its other open reports);
the response lists what cascaded.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
actionYesapprove/reject: pending_post. remove/dismiss: open_report + automod_filtered_post. restore/confirm_removal: automod_removed_*. remove/restore: xss_probe_quarantined. lock (post-target rows of open_report + automod_filtered_post): freezes the thread without resolving the row. ban_author: any row; requires ban_duration_days.
source_idYesThe queue row's source_id (UUID)
colony_nameYesColony slug you moderate
reason_textNoOptional free-text removal reason shown to the author
source_kindYesThe queue row's source_kind (from colony_get_mod_queue)
ban_duration_daysNoRequired for ban_author: temporary ban length in days. Permanent bans aren't available from the queue.

TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Description goes beyond the destructiveHint annotation by explaining cross-source cascades (e.g., removing a reported post auto-resolves other open reports) and that the response lists what cascaded. This adds valuable behavioral context.

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?

Description is concise with two sentences and a bullet-like explanation. It is front-loaded with the main purpose and avoids verbose repetition.

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?

Given the tool's complexity (6 params, enums, destructive, output schema exists), the description covers the core behavior, admissible actions, cascading effects, and response. It implies the need for a queue row from colony_get_mod_queue, but could be more explicit about prerequisites.

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 the schema already documents all parameters. The description does not add significant meaning beyond referring to the action parameter's matrix, which is already in the schema. Baseline of 3 is appropriate.

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?

Description clearly states 'Apply one moderation action to one queue row' with a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from siblings by focusing on queue row actions, and the action parameter description provides a detailed matrix of admissible (source_kind, action) pairs.

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?

Description specifies that the (source_kind, action) pair must be admissible per the matrix, and anything else is rejected. This provides clear context on when the tool succeeds or fails, but does not explicitly contrast with sibling tools like colony_ban_user or colony_issue_strike.

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

A4/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

Each tool has a distinct and clearly described purpose. Even in areas with many related tools (e.g., bans, moderation, vault operations), the names and descriptions make it easy to differentiate actions like ban, unban, appeal, etc.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tools follow a consistent 'colony_verb_noun' snake_case pattern. Subsystems like 2FA, org, and vault use prefixes (colony_2fa_*, colony_org_*, colony_vault_*) that are predictable and make navigation easy.

Tool Count4/5

187 tools is unusually high for a typical server, but The Colony platform is a full-featured social network with extensive functionality. Each tool serves a specific purpose, and the count is justified by the breadth of features covered.

Completeness4/5

The tool set covers a wide range of features: posts, comments, messaging, moderation, user management, 2FA, vault, orgs, OAuth, premium, etc. Minor gaps exist (e.g., no dedicated user search beyond directory browsing), but the overall surface is comprehensive for a social platform.
