Cooper Email

Send a draft

cooper_send_draft
Destructive

Use this when a draft should be sent now. Requires auth and message_send or draft_send. draft_write alone cannot send. Inputs: inbox_id (required), draft_id (required), add_labels, remove_labels, idempotency_key (optional Idempotency-Key). Sending deletes the draft and returns the message. An inbox in approval mode returns the pending draft with HTTP 202 until a verified owner approves it. A draft already sending returns HTTP 409 draft_sending. Allow and block lists and the suppression list are checked. A paused inbox returns HTTP 403 inbox_paused. A high trailing 7-day bounce or complaint rate returns HTTP 403 sending_paused, leaves the draft unsent, and does not store a message. Sending resumes automatically when that rate falls below the pause threshold.

  3. Added

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Goes well beyond the annotations by disclosing that sending deletes the draft, that approval-mode inboxes return 202 pending draft, that a resend hits 409 draft_sending, and that allow/block/suppression lists and paused-inbox/sending-paused conditions produce defined 403s without storing a message. It also explains automatic resumption when bounce rates fall, which an agent cannot derive from annotations or schema.

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?

Front-loads the decision rule and permission prerequisite, then groups failure modes compactly by HTTP status. Every sentence carries operational information; no filler or restatement of the tool name.

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 values need minimal explanation, and the description still notes that it returns the message. Combined with permissions, deletion behavior, approval flow, and each error status, nothing an agent needs to call this destructive send correctly is missing.

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 schema already explains draft_id, inbox_id, label handling and idempotency_key format, so the description's parameter list adds little. The only marginal value is the note that idempotency_key maps to an Idempotency-Key header, which is a header detail rather than new parameter semantics.

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?

Opening sentence gives a specific verb and resource plus timing ('when a draft should be sent now'), which clearly separates it from draft-editing tools. It does not explicitly contrast with the message-sending siblings (cooper_send_message, cooper_send_sms), so differentiation is only partial.

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?

States the trigger condition for use and adds a concrete exclusion via the permission model: 'Requires auth and message_send or draft_send. draft_write alone cannot send.' It does not name an alternative tool for cases where the caller wants to create-and-send in one step, leaving that inference to the agent.

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