Cooper Email

Get a draft

cooper_get_draft
Read-onlyIdempotent

Use this when you need one draft, including its labels, attachments, send_at, send_status, and approval_status. Read-only; requires auth and message_read. Inputs: inbox_id (required), draft_id (required). Returns the draft. Another account's inbox, or an inbox-scoped key for a different inbox, returns HTTP 404 inbox_not_found. An unknown draft returns HTTP 404 draft_not_found.

TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint and destructiveHint=false, yet the description adds real value beyond them: required auth, the message_read scope, and precise failure semantics (404 inbox_not_found for another account's inbox or a mismatched inbox-scoped key, 404 draft_not_found for an unknown draft). That cross-account/authorization behavior is exactly what an agent needs and is not derivable from the structured fields.

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?

Front-loaded with the use case, then auth, inputs, return, and error cases in tight sequence with no filler. The 'Inputs: inbox_id (required), draft_id (required)' clause lightly duplicates the schema and could be dropped.

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?

An output schema exists, so return shape needn't be explained, and the description still surfaces the salient fields plus the full error surface. For a two-parameter read tool, an agent has everything needed to invoke it correctly and interpret failures.

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 both parameters are already fully documented including the dft_/inb_ id formats. The description only restates that both are required, adding no new meaning, so baseline 3 applies.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('get one draft') and enumerates what the payload contains (labels, attachments, send_at, send_status, approval_status), which clearly separates it from list_drafts and create/update_draft. It stops short of explicitly naming a sibling as the alternative, but the singular-resource framing 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 Guidelines4/5

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

'Use this when you need one draft' gives a clear retrieval trigger and implicitly contrasts with list_drafts. No exclusion cases or named alternatives are given, which keeps it at a 4 rather than a 5.

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