Discover the automation building blocks: valid trigger_events, condition ops, action types, channels/providers, and the shapes of automations/sequences/connections. Call before building a rule or sequence.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, and the description's 'Discover' aligns with safe read-only behavior. It adds that the tool returns 'valid' definitions and 'shapes', but doesn't disclose output format or any additional behaviors, which is limited extra value beyond annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two sentences, front-loaded with the purpose ('Discover the automation building blocks'). Every word contributes meaning, with no redundant phrases. It wastes no space and is immediately actionable.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a zero-parameter discovery tool with no output schema, the description covers what information is returned (valid building blocks) and when to use it (before building rules/sequences). It could explicitly state the return format (e.g., 'returns a catalog'), but the current level is sufficient for effective selection and invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The tool has zero parameters, so schema coverage is 100%. The description compensates for the lack of parameters by outlining what information the tool returns (valid trigger_events, condition ops, etc.), which is more relevant to the user than parameter details. Baseline 4 for no-parameter tools applies.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly identifies the tool's function with 'Discover' and specifies the exact resources (trigger_events, condition ops, action types, etc.). It distinguishes itself from siblings by focusing on automation building blocks rather than creating, managing, or listing actual automations.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The instruction 'Call before building a rule or sequence' provides clear when-to-use guidance. It doesn't explicitly mention alternatives or when not to use it, but the context of a prerequisites tool is conveyed effectively.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Add one secure layer between your agents and this server.
Every tool targets a distinct resource-action pair (e.g., create_automation, create_pipeline, create_template), and potential overlaps like batch vs create or log_activity vs create are clearly differentiated in descriptions. No two tools appear to do the same thing.
All 41 tools follow the relm_<verb>_<noun> pattern in snake_case, with conventional verbs like create, get, list, delete, manage, and restore. Minor plural/singular differences (list_automations vs get_automation) follow standard resource-naming practices and do not break consistency.
At 41 tools, the set is far beyond the 25+ threshold and feels heavy for an agent to navigate. While the CRM domain is broad, many tools could be consolidated (e.g., generic get/list by resource type) without losing clarity.
The tool set covers the full record lifecycle (CRUD, restore, batch, search) plus schema management, pipelines, stages, automations, sequences, templates, webhooks, channels, and usage. However, automations, sequences, and templates lack update operations—requiring delete-and-recreate workarounds—which is a minor but notable gap.
