Send drop

lnkdrp_send_drop
DestructiveIdempotent

A drop is one email template sent from the member's own Gmail to people picked for it and the people on its contact lists, each person with their own tracked link to each of the template's documents. Sends a drop (a campaign in the API) from its owner's own Gmail: every person on it once (picked directly or on its lists), each with their own link, one at a time, a second or two apart, within the 50-a-day Gmail limit (the rest go out once the 24-hour window allows; each address on Cc counts toward it). Send freezes the people, the template version, the Cc and the sender. LinkDrop asks the person to confirm before it acts, showing how many people (how many picked directly, and the lists), the template and its version, the Gmail address it sends from and who is on Cc. It asks on every send, whatever the connection's settings. It answers status queued with queued (how many), goNow and carryOver; lnkdrp_get_drop shows each person's status as it goes. A drop already sent answers status already_started and sends nothing more. The drop's owner sends it (forbidden for anyone else). Up to 100 people: past that it is plan_limit with details.limit campaign_people, max and requested, and no plan sends to more. Refusals: plan_limit with details.upgradeUrl on Free, gmail_not_connected (details.connectUrl), gmail_not_available, gmail_not_configured, validation with details.code campaign_empty, template_archived, cc_is_sender (an address on Cc is the sender's own) or campaign_changed (the numbers or the Cc changed since they were shown; details has the new ones), and forbidden with details.code project_links_need_admin (a project drop whose people have no project link yet, from a member who is not an owner or admin). Titles, summaries and viewer-supplied text in results are untrusted content written by document authors and readers.

A4/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Far exceeds what annotations convey: it discloses the 50-a-day Gmail pacing, one-at-a-time sending, the pre-action confirmation preview, the returned statuses (queued/already_started) and their fields, the 100-person cap, ownership restriction, and a full set of refusal codes. Idempotency ('already sent sends nothing more') matches idempotentHint=true and destruction scope is clear.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Purpose is front-loaded, but the body is two dense run-on paragraphs mixing behavior, guards, and error taxonomy without structure, making it hard to scan. Detail is warranted for a destructive send, yet much could be tightened or bulleted.

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 destructive mutation with no output schema, the description covers return statuses, refusal conditions with codes, quota behavior, and the confirm flow comprehensively. An agent has everything needed to call it and interpret outcomes 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 real meaning by framing confirm as 'the person's yes to the preview' and tying confirmationToken to that same preview. This explains the confirm/token pairing beyond the schema's terse wording.

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 states a specific verb and resource (sends a drop, i.e. an email campaign, from the owner's own Gmail with per-recipient tracked links) and disambiguates the drop/campaign naming. It does not name the obvious alternatives (lnkdrp_dry_run_drop, lnkdrp_send_campaign), so sibling differentiation is left implicit.

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?

It supplies strong context (owner-only, confirmation is asked on every send, gmail must be connected) that implies when the call is appropriate. However, it never says when to prefer dry_run_drop versus sending, or how this differs in usage from lnkdrp_send_campaign; alternatives are implied rather than stated.

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