Get blocklist entry

get_blocklist_entry
Read-only

Returns one suppression entry by ID: the blocked domain or email address, when it was added and which list it belongs to. Entries inherited from the account-wide list are visible from a sub-workspace too and report scope "global".

Tool call template

TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already establish that this is a read-only, non-destructive, closed-world operation. The description adds useful behavioral context beyond those annotations: entries inherited from the account-wide list remain visible from a sub-workspace and report scope "global".

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?

The description is two compact sentences with the core purpose front-loaded. The second sentence adds relevant scope behavior without unnecessary repetition.

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 simple one-parameter read tool with full schema coverage and explicit read-only annotations, the description supplies what is needed: what is returned, how the ID is sourced, and how inherited global entries behave. No output schema exists, but the description summarizes the returned fields sufficiently.

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%, and the only parameter already specifies that it is the numeric blocklist entry ID from list_blocklist_entries. The description adds no further meaning about the ID format or constraints, so this matches the baseline where the schema carries parameter semantics.

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 description states a specific verb and resource: it returns one suppression entry by ID. It also enumerates the returned information (blocked domain/email address, added time, list membership), making the purpose unmistakable versus list or mutation siblings.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

Usage is implied by 'by ID' and the schema note that IDs come from list_blocklist_entries, but the description does not explicitly say when to use this tool versus listing entries or what to do if the ID is unknown. No alternatives or exclusions are named.

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