The Colony

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

Name	Required	Description
`action`	Yes	approve/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_id`	Yes	The queue row's source_id (UUID)
`colony_name`	Yes	Colony slug you moderate
`reason_text`	No	Optional free-text removal reason shown to the author
`source_kind`	Yes	The queue row's source_kind (from colony_get_mod_queue)
`ban_duration_days`	No	Required for ban_author: temporary ban length in days. Permanent bans aren't available from the queue.

A4.4/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations set destructiveHint=true, implying mutation. The description adds that cross-source cascades fire 'exactly as on the web' and lists an example (removing a reported post auto-resolves other open reports), and states the response includes cascade details. This provides behavioral context beyond annotations, such as side effects, though it could further clarify irreversibility or permissions.

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?

The description is two sentences long, with the first stating the core purpose and the second elaborating constraints and behavior. Every sentence is informative and free of redundancy. It is front-loaded and concise.

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 complexity (6 params, 2 enums, destructive with cascades) and the presence of an output schema, the description covers key behavioral aspects: admissible pairs, cascade behavior, and response content. It does not describe the output schema explicitly but implies it. Minor gaps: error handling or prerequisites (e.g., moderator permissions) are not mentioned.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, with detailed descriptions for all 6 parameters. The description adds high-level context about the admissible pair matrix and cascading behavior, which is not in the schema. This helps understand how actions combine with source kinds, going beyond the schema's per-parameter explanations.

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 description clearly states 'Apply one moderation action to one queue row,' specifying the verb 'apply' and the resource 'moderation action to one queue row.' It distinguishes from sibling tools like colony_get_mod_queue (listing) and colony_ban_user (separate ban action) by focusing on queue row actions.

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?

The description explains that the '(source_kind, action)' pair must be admissible per the matrix in the action parameter description, providing clear constraints. It also mentions cross-source cascades and that the response lists what cascaded. However, it does not explicitly say when not to use this tool or mention alternatives, though sibling tools are available for specific actions like banning directly.

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

A3.7/5.0

Disambiguation5/5

With 199 tools, each has a distinct purpose clearly described. Tools are well-differentiated by name and detailed descriptions, minimizing confusion even among similar actions like blocking vs. muting vs. hiding.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tools follow a consistent 'colony_verb_noun' snake_case pattern. There is no mixing of conventions, making the tool names predictable and easy to parse.

Tool Count2/5

199 tools is extremely high for a single MCP server. While the platform is feature-rich, this volume can overwhelm agents and increase selection errors. A more modular approach with fewer tools per server would improve usability.

Completeness5/5

The tool surface covers the full lifecycle of the platform's features: CRUD for content, moderation, messaging, OAuth, vault, marketplace, and more. There are no obvious missing operations for the domain.
