Update a draft

cooper_update_draft

DestructiveIdempotent

Use this when a draft should change before it sends. Requires auth and message_send or draft_write. A key with only draft_send can set send_at and cannot edit other fields. This call does not send the draft. Inputs: inbox_id (required), draft_id (required), and any of to, cc, bcc, reply_to, subject, text, html, add_attachments, remove_attachments, add_labels, remove_labels, include_signature, send_at. include_signature false skips the inbox signature when the draft is sent. Omit it to leave that choice unchanged. Omit a field to leave it unchanged. Null, or an empty list for recipients, clears that field. Scheduling a draft (send_at) counts as sending and needs message_send or draft_send. HTTP 403 permission_denied with param send_at when a non-null send_at lacks that permission, and nothing is changed. send_at null removes the schedule and the scheduled label and is allowed with draft_write. Editing recipients, subject, body, or attachments while send_status is scheduled needs message_send or draft_send. Reply and forward cannot be changed. The scheduled label cannot be set by hand. A draft with send_status sending returns HTTP 409 draft_sending. Returns the updated draft.

TDQS

A4.7/5.0

Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the annotations, it discloses authentication and permission scopes, draft_send-only behavior, scheduling being treated as sending, and state-dependent HTTP 403 and 409 failures. It also explains valuable side effects and failure semantics: a permission failure changes nothing, while send_at=null removes both the schedule and scheduled label.

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?

The use case and authorization requirements are front-loaded, and nearly every subsequent sentence supplies an operational rule. However, the complete Inputs inventory and some include_signature and send_at details repeat the fully documented schema, and the dense single paragraph could be organized more effectively.

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 15-parameter stateful mutation, it covers required identifiers, partial-update and clearing semantics, authorization variations, scheduling side effects, immutable properties, and important error states. The output schema already handles return-shape documentation, and the description supplies the invocation prerequisites and constraints an agent is most likely to need.

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

Parameters5/5

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

Although schema coverage is 100%, the description adds substantial cross-parameter semantics: omitted fields remain unchanged, null or empty recipient lists clear values, and scheduled-state edits have special permission requirements. The exact 403 param, no-change guarantee, and send_at=null label behavior go well beyond the individual schema descriptions.

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 opening sentence identifies the exact operation and resource: changing an existing draft before it sends. "This call does not send the draft" establishes a clear boundary with sending siblings such as cooper_send_draft, while the update scope also distinguishes it from draft creation.

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?

It gives an explicit when-to-use condition and several limitations, including immutable reply/forward behavior, the reserved scheduled label, and restrictions for scheduled or sending drafts. It does not explicitly route agents to cooper_create_draft or cooper_send_draft for those alternative goals, which leaves sibling selection partly implicit.

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