Create a draft

cooper_create_draft
Destructive

Use this when you want to prepare a message without sending it yet. Requires auth and message_send or draft_write. draft_write does not send mail. Scheduling a draft (send_at) counts as sending and needs message_send or draft_send. HTTP 403 permission_denied with param send_at when that permission is missing, and nothing is stored. Inputs: inbox_id (required; inbox id, username, or email), to, cc, bcc, reply_to, subject, text, html, attachments, labels, headers, in_reply_to or forward_of (one source message; not both), reply_all (only with in_reply_to), include_attachments (forward only; default true), include_signature (optional boolean; default true; false skips the inbox signature when this draft is sent), send_at (optional ISO-8601 timestamp; sets the scheduled label and send_status scheduled; needs message_send or draft_send), client_id (optional). Reply recipients and Re: come from the source message, so omit to on a reply. A forward keeps your text and merges the original body and attachments when it sends. A held source message returns HTTP 409 message_held. Returns the draft. The same client_id returns the original draft and does not create another. send_at on an inbox whose send_mode is approval emails verified owners. No verified owner returns HTTP 409 owner_required and stores nothing.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
ccNoCc addresses. On a reply these are merged with the derived recipients.
toNoRecipient addresses. Omit on a reply. An empty list clears them on update.
bccNoBcc addresses.
htmlNoHTML body.
textNoPlain-text body.
labelsNoLabels to set. The scheduled label is reserved.
send_atNoISO-8601 time to send. Scheduling a draft (send_at) counts as sending and needs message_send or draft_send. Null is ignored on create. Must be within 366 days.
subjectNoSubject. A reply or forward fills this from the source message when omitted.
inbox_idYesInbox id (inb_…), username, or full email address
reply_toNoReply-To address, or a comma-separated list.
client_idNoIdempotency key. The same value returns the original draft.
reply_allNoWhen true with in_reply_to, address the whole thread. Requires in_reply_to.
forward_ofNoMessage id to forward. Mutually exclusive with in_reply_to.
attachmentsNoFiles to store on the draft. Each item is {filename, content_base64, content_type?, content_id?}.
in_reply_toNoMessage id to reply to. Mutually exclusive with forward_of.
include_signatureNoUse this when the draft should send without the inbox signature. Default true. false is kept until the draft is sent or flushed.
include_attachmentsNoOn a forward, copy the original attachments when the draft sends. Default true.

Output Schema

reply_toNoReply-To address, or null.
client_idNoCaller idempotency key stored with the object, or null.
reply_allNoTrue when the draft replies to everyone.
thread_idNoThread the draft will join, or null.
created_atNoISO-8601 time the object was created.
forward_ofNoMessage this draft forwards, or null.
idempotentNoTrue when this result replays an earlier request with the same key instead of acting again.
referencesNoMessage-IDs for threading.
send_errorNoWhy a scheduled send failed, when it did.
updated_atNoISO-8601 time the object last changed.
in_reply_toNoMessage this draft replies to, or null.

approval_statusNoOwner approval state when the inbox send_mode is approval.
rejection_reasonNoWhy the owner rejected the draft, when they did.

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations only declare the safety profile (write, destructive, open-world, non-idempotent); the description goes far beyond that with permission requirements, failure semantics ('nothing is stored' on 403 and owner_required), the approval/send_mode flow for scheduled sends, and the client_id idempotency guarantee, which clarifies rather than contradicts idempotentHint=false.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

It is front-loaded with the use case and permission model, and nearly every sentence carries operational weight. The single dense block is harder to scan than it needs to be, and the send_at permission rule appears both here and in the schema.

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 17-parameter mutation with an output schema, this covers what is missing elsewhere: auth, permission variants, scheduling side effects, reply/forward derivation, idempotency, and error codes. An agent has enough to call it correctly and interpret failures without further lookups.

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 the schema already carries per-parameter meaning and the baseline is 3. The description adds real value on cross-parameter rules (omit to on a reply, in_reply_to and forward_of are mutually exclusive, reply_all only with in_reply_to), but most individual field semantics are restated from the schema rather than extended.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The opening sentence states the effect concretely: prepare a message without sending it yet, which cleanly separates it from cooper_send_draft and cooper_send_message. It never uses the literal verb 'create a draft' in prose, leaning on the title, but the outcome is unambiguous.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicitly frames the when-to-use case (drafting rather than sending) and spells out the permission routing: draft_write for plain drafts, message_send or draft_send when send_at is set. It also gives the alternative outcomes (403 permission_denied, 409 message_held, 409 owner_required) so an agent knows what to do when the call is refused.

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