Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
agent_idNoThe agent whose effective settings to read. When omitted, reads the current agent's settings if this chat is tied to one, otherwise the account-wide settings.
on_behalf_ofNoA teammate's email, or an agency client's from list_agency_clients, to run this call in that account: their agents, settings, connected accounts, and credits. Omit it to act on your own account.

TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

readOnlyHint already covers safety, but the description goes well beyond it: it explains that an unsent `pending_approval` message is expected behavior produced by this gating, not a failure, and it spells out the override vs account-wide fallback logic. That is exactly the disambiguating context an agent needs to avoid misdiagnosing a stuck send.

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 summary is front-loaded with the core concept and the operational warning, and each subsequent clause adds real information rather than filler. It is somewhat verbose with the XML wrapper tags and a long returns block, but no sentence is wasted.

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?

There is no output schema, yet the description supplies a returns section documenting `settings`, `override_active`, `account_settings`, and the meaning of the true/false subtype keys. Together with the scoping guidance, an agent can both call and interpret this tool correctly.

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 schema already documents the agent_id fallback chain, so the description's recapping of that resolution adds little new. The `on_behalf_of` parameter, including its agency-client email form and credit implications, is not addressed anywhere in the description. Baseline 3 is appropriate given the schema carries the parameter burden.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description names a specific resource and what it governs: 'the per-subtype approval settings that decide whether each kind of outbound message auto-sends or waits for the user's approval'. That is far more than a restatement of the name and lets an agent distinguish settings from the pending messages themselves. It never names the read/write sibling tools (set_outreach_approval, get_pending_approvals), so differentiation is inferential rather than explicit.

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 a concrete trigger for calling: read this before telling the user a send looks stuck, because `pending_approval` is a normal gated state. It also explains the agent_id scoping decision (specific agent override vs account-wide vs current chat agent). It stops short of naming alternative tools for related questions, so it lacks explicit when-not guidance.

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