ProofSnap

Monitor a web page

create_schedule

Destructive

Creates a schedule that preserves a public web page repeatedly: at an interval (at least hourly), on a cron expression, or when the page changes (on_change). Each run that captures is a capture like capture_web_page and uses one capture of the account's plan; the number of active schedules is limited by the plan. This app cannot post into the chat when a page changes: for on_change, ProofSnap emails the account's confirmed address when a change is detected (email_on_change, on by default here; changes waiting at the same time come in one email, at most 20 emails a day; with alert_on text only text changes), and list_events lists the changes whenever the user asks. This app sets intervals of an hour or more; shorter intervals are set in the ProofSnap dashboard at https://app.getproofsnap.com/.

Tool call template

Replace each placeholder with a value matching the input schema. Only required parameters are included; add optional parameters as needed.

Input Schema

Name	Required	Description
`url`	Yes	The page to monitor.
`mode`	Yes	interval: every interval_seconds; cron: on cron_expr; on_change: checks the page every interval_seconds and captures when it changed.
`fresh`	No	Set true only when the user asks for a new one: every call with fresh true creates a new, billed item, also when it repeats an earlier call. Without it, the same request repeated within 10 minutes (sometimes up to 20) returns the earlier result.
`options`	No
`alert_on`	No	For on_change: report any change (default) or only text changes.
`timezone`	No	IANA time zone of cron_expr, for example Europe/Prague. Default UTC.
`cron_expr`	No	For cron: a 5-field cron expression, for example 0 9 * * 1.
`confirm_cost`	No	The confirmation_token this tool returned with its cost, sent only after the user agreed to that cost.
`email_on_change`	No	Only for mode on_change: email the account's confirmed address when a change is detected. Default true; set false only when the user does not want emails. The user can also turn it off in the ProofSnap dashboard.
`interval_seconds`	No	For interval and on_change: seconds between runs or checks, at least 3600 here. Shorter intervals are set in the ProofSnap dashboard (https://app.getproofsnap.com/).
`max_capture_age_seconds`	No	For on_change: also capture when the newest capture is older than this, even without a change.

A4.6/5.0

Behavior5/5

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

Goes well beyond the annotations by disclosing the billing model (one plan capture per run), the plan cap on active schedules, the dedupe window for repeated requests, the email alert cap of 20/day, and the site-imposed minimum interval with a dashboard workaround. These are exactly the consequences an agent must warn a user about before calling a destructive, non-idempotent write.

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?

Front-loaded with the action and the modes, then layered with cost, alerting, and site limits. Dense sentences with nested parentheticals make it heavy to read, but nearly every clause carries operational information and nothing is filler.

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 an 11-parameter, nested-schema, billing-relevant mutation with an output schema already defined, the description covers the remaining risk surface: cost, plan limits, dedupe, notification behavior, and the interval ceiling. An agent has what it needs to call this correctly and to set expectations with the user.

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 already 91%, so the schema carries most parameter meaning, but the description adds real semantics: how mode governs interval_seconds, what email_on_change and alert_on do together, and why intervals below an hour are rejected. This meaningfully extends rather than repeats the schema.

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 ('creates a schedule that preserves a public web page repeatedly') and immediately enumerates the three scheduling modes. It also distinguishes itself from capture_web_page by explaining that each run is a capture, so the agent can tell recurring monitoring apart from a one-off capture.

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?

Gives clear per-mode guidance (interval, cron, on_change), explains what happens on change, and points to the ProofSnap dashboard for intervals under an hour, which the tool itself cannot set. It also names list_events as the way to retrieve detected changes. It stops short of an explicit 'use this instead of capture_web_page when...' statement, leaving that routing implicit.

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