Dayze — Life Context

Create Pending Reply

create_pending_reply

Pending Replies (Inbox): save a reply the user owes someone, e.g. 'what to reply to X', 'I owe X a reply'. Use this, not log_event or a task. Optional draft (the reply text), summary (one line in your own words; never the email body, subject or sender), channel, category, received_at, and source { kind, thread_id, message_id } (ids only). Links the contact only when resolve_person finds exactly one (or pass person_id); otherwise the reply is saved unlinked and person_link says why. An unsent reply for the same thread or person comes back instead of a second one (created: false, deduplicated: true); update_existing: true replaces its draft and summary. Never sends anything. Requires API key or OAuth with context.write; share tokens cannot write. ($0.10; API key required)

Input Schema

Name	Required	Description
`draft`	No	The reply text to send later, max 20,000 characters. Replaces the saved draft; empty or null clears. Alias: draft_message.
`source`	No	The email the reply answers, as ids only (e.g. a search_gmail id is a message_id). Never a subject, sender or text. On update, null clears it.
`channel`	No	Where to reply: whatsapp, email, sms, call, imessage, telegram, instagram, facebook, signal, linkedin, twitter, slack, reddit, teams, work_email, zoom, dayze, other; the platform the conversation is on (a Reddit thread is reddit, an Instagram group instagram). Default email when source is set, else other.
`summary`	No	One line (max 280) in your own words: what the reply is about. Never paste the email body, subject line or sender address.
`category`	No	Default personal.
`person_id`	No	An owned contact id; links that contact directly.
`request_id`	No	Client idempotency key (retries return original result).
`person_name`	Yes	Who the reply is owed to, as the user said it (e.g. "Ilana").
`received_at`	No	When they wrote (ISO date-time). Default now.
`draft_message`	No	Alias for draft.
`idempotency_key`	No	Alias for request_id.
`update_existing`	No	When an unsent reply for this thread or person exists, write draft/summary onto it instead of returning it unchanged.

Output Schema

Name	Required	Description
`reply`	Yes	One reply the user owes (Inbox → Pending Replies). Dayze never sends it.
`account`	No	The Dayze account this data belongs to. With more than one Dayze connection, name it in the answer.
`app_url`	No
`created`	Yes	True when this call saved a new reply.
`message`	Yes
`updated`	Yes	True when an existing unsent reply was changed (update_existing).
`matched_on`	Yes	source_thread, source_message or person when deduplicated.
`provenance`	No	Which connector wrote the record and which connected Dayze account received it.
`person_link`	Yes	Whether a contact was linked. Linked only on one resolve_person match or an owned person_id.
`deduplicated`	Yes	True when an unsent reply for the same thread or person was returned instead of a new one.
`source_saved`	Yes	False when a source was given and could not be stored.
`life_state_rebuilt`	Yes

TDQS

A4.8/5.0

Behavior5/5

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

Goes well beyond the annotations (readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false): it discloses that nothing is ever sent, that it requires API key or OAuth with context.write, that share tokens cannot write, the $0.10 cost, and the dedup behavior (created:false, deduplicated:true) plus person_link explaining unlinked saves. Rich behavioral context that annotations cannot convey.

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?

Dense but front-loaded: purpose first, then the routing exclusion, then optional fields, then dedup/auth behavior. Almost every clause carries information, though the single long paragraph is heavy and could be slightly tightened.

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?

With 12 parameters, a nested source object, and an output schema present, the description still covers the critical gaps: auth requirements, cost, dedup semantics, contact-linking behavior, and the never-sends guarantee. An agent has everything needed to call it correctly.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3, but the description adds cross-parameter semantics the schema cannot: linking happens only when resolve_person finds exactly one match (or person_id is passed), otherwise the reply is saved unlinked. It also clarifies source is ids-only and that update_existing replaces the draft and summary.

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 a specific verb and resource ('save a reply the user owes someone') with concrete examples ('what to reply to X', 'I owe X a reply'). It explicitly distinguishes itself from siblings log_event and task, so an agent can route correctly without opening the schema.

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 says 'Use this, not log_event or a task', naming the alternatives and the condition that selects them. It also describes the resolve_person linking path and the update_existing override, giving clear when-to-use guidance.

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