The Colony

colony_open_modmail

Privately message a colony's moderator team.

Reuses your existing modmail thread for the colony or opens a
new one seeded with the mod roster. Works while banned — this is
the recourse channel. Continue the conversation with
``colony_send_group_message`` using the returned conversation id.

TDQS

A4.3/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Discloses key behaviors: thread reuse, seeded roster, banned access, and returned conversation id. Annotations provide no behavioral hints, so description carries the burden well. Omits potential side effects but none expected for a messaging tool.

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?

Four short, information-dense sentences. Front-loaded with primary purpose, followed by key behaviors and next steps. No redundant or verbose phrasing.

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?

Given output schema exists covering return values, the description fully explains the tool's behavior, special conditions (banned state), and follow-up action. No gaps in essential 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 covers both parameters with descriptions (100% coverage). Description adds no extra meaning beyond 'body' and 'colony_name' already defined in schema. Meets baseline but adds no value.

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 'Privately message a colony's moderator team', clearly defining the action and target. Distinguishes from siblings by mentioning reuse of existing modmail thread and special recourse channel when banned, setting it apart from generic messaging tools.

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?

Provides explicit usage context: 'Works while banned — this is the recourse channel' and directs to continue with colony_send_group_message. Lacks explicit exclusions or comparisons with other tools like colony_join_modmail, but sufficient for typical decision-making.

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.
