Volanea

volanea_track_event

Send a product event exactly as the user's app would (POST /v1/events). Auto-creates the contact if unknown, and SYNCHRONOUSLY fires any workflow whose trigger is event:<name> plus any matching webhooks — so this is how you verify an event-triggered automation for real. Also useful to seed a test contact — but note that a contact created this way is tagged as a test artifact and is EXCLUDED from segment evaluation and campaign audiences, so it will never appear in a volanea_create_segment dryRun count or a campaign's recipient list, whatever its fields say. System prefixes (email./contact./segment./workflow.) are reserved.

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations only declare openWorldHint and a title, so the description carries the burden and does so richly: auto-creation of unknown contacts, SYNCHRONOUS workflow and webhook firing on event:<name>, test-artifact tagging, exclusion from segment evaluation and campaign audiences, and reserved system prefixes. These are exactly the non-obvious traits an agent needs to avoid misdiagnosing results.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Three dense sentences, front-loaded with the primary purpose and mechanism before the seeding caveat. Nothing is wasted, though the exclusion clause is long enough that a reader must parse it carefully.

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?

An output schema exists, so return values need no explanation. For a tool with synchronous side effects and test-data semantics, the description covers the trigger, the side effects, and the one trap (test artifacts invisible to segments/campaigns) completely.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3; the description earns above that by adding constraints not in the schema — the reserved system prefixes for `name` and the guidance to use the app's real event name, plus the note that `data` is exposed as workflow variables.

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 verb and resource ('Send a product event exactly as the user's app would (POST /v1/events)') and immediately discloses the side effects that separate it from siblings like volanea_test_workflow or volanea_test_webhook_delivery. An agent can distinguish it without opening any schema.

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 clear usage context: 'this is how you verify an event-triggered automation for real' and 'Also useful to seed a test contact.' It also supplies a strong when-not caveat about the test-artifact exclusion. It does not name an alternative tool for the primary use case, so it falls short of the explicit when/when-not/alternative triad.

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