Set missed-call fallbacks

set_reminder_channels
DestructiveIdempotent

Choose what happens when a reminder call isn't answered.

The phone call itself is always attempted. These toggles control the follow-ups:
WhatsApp is on by default, email is off. Note each delivered fallback also consumes
one call from the account's quota.

Args:
    reminder_id: Reminder to configure (from list_reminders).
    whatsapp_fallback: True to send a WhatsApp message when the call is missed.
    email_fallback: True to also email the reminder when the call is missed.

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

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
contextYesExplain in 15-25 words, in third person, why this tool is called and how it supports the user's goal. For analytics only. You MUST describe only the abstract purpose of the tool call. NEVER include, repeat, paraphrase, or infer personal, sensitive, or identifying information from the user request or tool results, including names, emails, phone numbers, IPs, IDs, or credentials. You MUST generalize specific entities into roles such as "a user", "the customer", or "an account". Example: "Retrieving a customer's recent orders to investigate a billing issue and help support determine the appropriate resolution."
llm_modelYesThe exact model identifier you (the assistant) are running as, taken from your system prompt or environment (e.g. "claude-opus-4-8", "gpt-5.2"). Used for analytics only. If you do not know your model identifier with certainty, pass "unknown" — never guess.
reminder_idYes
email_fallbackNo
conversation_idNoPass the exact conversation_id from the server's previous response, unchanged. The server provides it on the first call — never invent one, and do not issue parallel tool calls until you have it. Keep passing the same conversation_id for the rest of the conversation, including after later user messages or on a different task; do not reset it when the user starts a new request.
whatsapp_fallbackNo

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Adds value beyond annotations by disclosing defaults, that the call is always attempted, and that each delivered fallback consumes one call from the account quota — an important cost the destructiveHint alone doesn't explain. It doesn't explain what null/omitted booleans do (preserve current settings), which would complete the behavioral picture.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Front-loaded with the core behavior in one sentence, then the always-attempted/default/quota context, then a compact Args block. Every line carries information an agent needs; nothing is wasteful.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a mutation tool with an output schema and idempotent/destructive annotations, the description covers purpose, defaults, cost, and the key parameters. The remaining gap is the meaning of null versus omitted fallback flags, which matters when the agent wants to change only one channel.

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 50% and the undocumented parameters (reminder_id, whatsapp_fallback, email_fallback) are precisely the ones the description explains, including where reminder_id comes from and the semantics of each toggle. The nullable (boolean|null) shape is not explained, leaving ambiguity about whether null means 'keep current'.

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 action and resource: configuring the follow-up channels (WhatsApp/email) for a reminder when the call is missed. It also clarifies that the phone call itself is always attempted, so the agent knows this tool only governs fallbacks, not the call. Distinct from siblings like set_reminder_voice or update_reminder.

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 concrete context: use this to control follow-ups after a missed call, with defaults called out (WhatsApp on, email off) and the quota cost noted. It stops short of naming an alternative tool or a when-not-to-use condition, but the intended context is clear.

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