Faxette EU

Send a fax from credit

send_fax
Destructive

Use this to send a fax from the person's Faxette credit. Only for a fax in their account that's ready to pay for: call get_fax first. Tell the person its credit_price and that it comes from their credit, and call this only once they clearly agree. If get_account shows their credit doesn't cover it, give them the status page instead, where they can buy credit or pay by card. Needs the person to sign in to Faxette; calling it while they aren't asks the app to sign them in.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
idYesThe fax's id, from create_fax, get_faxes or get_fax.
amount_centsYesThe credit_price amount_cents from get_fax that the person agreed to. If the fax's documents changed since, Faxette refuses with price_changed: call get_fax and confirm the new price.

Output Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
idYesThe fax's id. Pass it to get_fax when the person is signed in.
priceYesBefore tax. Null until the pages are counted.
statusYesdraft: waiting for files, or for a file to be fixed. processing_documents: counting pages. documents_ready: ready to pay. awaiting_payment: the person is paying. scheduled: paid, about to dial. sending, delivered, failed. canceled: not paid in time.
attemptYesThe current attempt to dial the fax number.
paymentYesThe person's payment once they start paying, by card or from their credit. amount_cents includes tax.
resend_byYesFor a failed fax: until when the person can correct the fax number on the status page and send it again.
fax_numberYes
page_countYesNull until the pages are counted.
status_urlYesThe page where the person checks the fax and pays. Give it to them.
max_attemptsYes
failure_reasonYesFor a failed fax: temporary (busy or no answer on every attempt), wrong_number (no fax machine answered), or our_side.
document_errorsYesFiles Faxette couldn't use. position is the file's number in the fax. The person fixes them on the status page.
next_attempt_atYesWhen the next attempt dials, if the line was busy or didn't answer.
checkout_availableYesTrue when the person can pay on the status page.

TDQS

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations flag destructiveHint/openWorldHint, and the description adds the critical facts beyond them: this spends real credit, consent must be explicit, and invoking while unauthenticated triggers a sign-in flow rather than failing. That is exactly the behavioral context 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?

Purpose and funding source are front-loaded, followed by prerequisites and the fallback path in logical order with no filler. It is slightly dense with multi-clause sentences where a two-line structure would read faster, but every sentence carries information.

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 monetary, non-idempotent mutation with an output schema, the description covers consent requirements, prerequisite reads, authentication needs, and the insufficient-credit fallback. Nothing an agent needs before calling 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 coverage is 100% and both parameters are documented in detail, including the price_changed refusal path for amount_cents. The description reinforces the workflow (confirm price via get_fax before calling) but adds no syntax or value semantics the schema lacks, so baseline 3 applies.

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 ('send a fax') plus the funding source ('from the person's Faxette credit'), which is the exact distinction from siblings like create_fax. An agent can tell this apart from fax creation 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?

Explicit preconditions and sequencing: call get_fax first, confirm credit_price, obtain clear agreement, call only once. It also names the alternative path (status page) when get_account shows insufficient credit, and routes to get_account for the check.

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