Hide a reply

hide_reply

Hide a reply on the channel, or show it again with hide: false. The reply id comes from list_replies, and postId is the publish it belongs to.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
hideNotrue hides it, false shows it again. Defaults to true.
postIdYesThe post the reply sits under. A publish id (post_…), the post's own id on the channel, or a post link (the URL you would open in a browser to see it). Links work for posts written in the channel's own app too, as long as the account is connected here.
replyIdYesReply id from list_replies
workspaceIdNoWhich workspace this is for. Only needed when the account has more than one — the error tells you the ids when it matters. Leave it out if it is already decided; do not ask the person again.

TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false, and the description adds value by explaining the operation is reversible ('show it again with hide: false'). This clarifies the non-destructive nature without contradicting the annotations.

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?

One efficient sentence covers the action, the toggle behavior, and the parameter provenance. Every clause earns its place, and the core verb is front-loaded.

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 simple two-required-parameter tool with full schema coverage and no output schema, the description provides enough context to call it correctly. The only notable omission is guidance on when to choose this over the similar delete_reply tool.

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 description coverage is 100%, and the description mostly repeats what the schema already says: replyId comes from list_replies and postId is the publish it belongs to. It adds minimal new meaning beyond the structured parameter descriptions.

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 uses a specific verb and resource: 'Hide a reply on the channel, or show it again'. It clearly distinguishes this from deletion by emphasizing reversibility, and the 'hide: false' clause makes the toggle behavior explicit.

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?

It gives clear context for when to use the tool: to hide or unhide a reply, and it tells the agent where the replyId comes from ('list_replies') and that postId is the parent publish. However, it does not explicitly name sibling alternatives like delete_reply or state when hiding is preferable to deletion.

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