Set default voice

set_voice_settings
DestructiveIdempotent

Change the account's DEFAULT voice, affecting every reminder without an override.

For a single reminder only, use set_reminder_voice instead. Get valid IDs from
list_voices; preview_voice lets the user hear one first.

Args:
    voice_id: Voice ID from list_voices.
    personality: "gentle", "cheerful", "professional", or "energetic".
    language: BCP-47 tag, e.g. "en-US", "en-GB", "hi-IN".
    speaking_rate: 0.8 (slower — often better for elderly listeners) to 1.2 (faster).
    greet_by_name: Whether calls open by greeting the user by name.

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."
languageNo
voice_idNo
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.
personalityNo
greet_by_nameNo
speaking_rateNo
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.

TDQS

A4.8/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and readOnlyHint=false, so the mutation profile is known; the description adds the meaningful detail that the change applies account-wide to every reminder lacking an override, which is exactly the blast-radius context an agent needs. It stops short of stating reversibility or how to restore a prior default, so it is strong but not exhaustive.

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?

The scope and sibling routing come first, then a compact Args block where each line adds only information not present in the schema. No sentence is redundant with the tool name or title.

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 8-parameter destructive mutation with an output schema present, the description covers scope, side effects, prerequisites, alternatives, and the value constraints the schema omits. Nothing essential to calling it correctly is missing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters5/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

With only 38% schema coverage, the description carries the load: it explains voice_id sourcing, enumerates the four valid personality values (the schema has no enum), gives the BCP-47 tag format with examples, and supplies the 0.8–1.2 speaking_rate range plus the rationale for slower rates. The remaining parameters (context, llm_model, conversation_id) are already richly documented in the schema itself.

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?

The description opens with a specific verb and resource ('Change the account's DEFAULT voice') and states the blast radius ('affecting every reminder without an override'), which immediately distinguishes it from the per-reminder sibling set_reminder_voice.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

It names the alternative tool for the narrower case ('For a single reminder only, use set_reminder_voice instead') and routes the agent to list_voices for valid IDs and preview_voice for auditioning. When-to-use, when-not-to-use, and prerequisites are all explicit.

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