Install a signature

install_signature
Destructive

Trigger installation of a signature template's current content to connected mail clients (without publishing), on every email it is assigned to; for one email alone, use install_signature_for_email. Returns 403 if the plan lacks signature installation, or 409 if no API signature integration is connected — in both cases the error includes a dashboard link to connect an integration or upgrade the plan; relay it to the user (the API can't run OAuth).

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
idYesThe signature's UUID (the `id` from list_signatures).
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."

TDQS

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the annotations, the description discloses that installation targets connected mail clients, does not publish the signature, applies to every assigned email, and can fail with 403 or 409 when plan or integration requirements are missing. It also explains that error responses include a dashboard link and must be relayed to the user because the API cannot run OAuth.

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 main action and its scope are front-loaded, followed by the alternative tool and then necessary error-handling guidance. The description is dense and every sentence contributes operationally useful information.

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?

The tool mutates external mail-client state, so the description appropriately covers scope, non-publishing behavior, and common failure modes. An output schema exists, annotations cover safety traits, and the description adds the contextual details an agent needs to invoke and handle errors 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 both parameters are fully documented in the input schema. The description does not add parameter-specific semantics beyond the schema, so the baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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 states a specific verb and resource: triggering installation of a signature template's current content to connected mail clients. It clearly scopes the operation to every assigned email and distinguishes it from install_signature_for_email for single-email installation.

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 explicitly names the alternative for installing on one email alone and describes the conditions under which this all-email installation applies. The 403/409 error guidance further clarifies operational prerequisites.

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