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.

Tool call template

  7. Added

TDQS

A4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already disclose destructiveHint=true, idempotentHint=false and readOnlyHint=false, so the safety profile is covered structurally. The description adds genuine beyond-annotation value by disclosing cross-source cascade behavior ('removing a reported post auto-resolves its other open reports') and that invalid pairs are rejected. It stops short of naming required permissions or reversibility of each action.

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: core action first, then the validity constraint, then cascade behavior with a concrete example. Nothing is redundant and the most important fact is front-loaded.

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?

An output schema exists so return shape need not be explained, yet the description helpfully notes 'the response lists what cascaded.' Combined with 100% schema coverage and annotations, the definition is nearly complete; only the moderator/permission prerequisite and workflow ordering are left implicit.

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%, and the action matrix, source_kind enum meanings, aliases and duration_days constraint all live in the schema. The description only points the reader at that matrix rather than adding independent parameter meaning, so the baseline 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?

The opening sentence states a precise verb+resource: 'Apply one moderation action to one queue row.' It immediately distinguishes this from the read-side sibling colony_get_mod_queue and from other mutation siblings like colony_ban_user by scoping it to queue rows.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description explains the admissibility rule ('the (source_kind, action) pair must be admissible per the matrix') and cascade behavior, but never states when to pick this tool over alternatives (e.g. colony_ban_user, colony_issue_strike) or that a queue row must first be fetched. Usage is implied via the schema's 'from colony_get_mod_queue' note rather than stated in the description.

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