Skool MCP Server and API by Cotlet

Approve membership request

approve_membership_request
Destructive

Let an applicant into the group. Your AutoDM, if set, goes out as usual. Approves one pending request, so the applicant becomes a member, as Skool's Approve button does; your AutoDM, if set, goes out as usual. Admins and moderators only. member_id is the id of the membership, the same as request_id. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool. Waits for the owner's approval.

TDQS

B3.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true, idempotentHint=false and openWorldHint=true; the description usefully adds the AutoDM side effect, the admin/moderator authorization requirement, and the default per-call confirmation. 'Waits for the owner's approval' is vague and sits awkwardly next to the confirmation sentence, leaving the actual wait/async behaviour unclear.

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

Conciseness2/5

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

The AutoDM sentence is duplicated verbatim, and the trailing 'Waits for the owner's approval.' is a dangling fragment that adds ambiguity rather than information. Signals are buried rather than front-loaded.

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

Completeness3/5

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

For a two-parameter mutation with a full schema and rich annotations, the description covers side effects and permissions, but the duplicated sentence and dangling wait clause leave the confirmation/waiting semantics genuinely ambiguous.

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%, so baseline is 3. The description adds a mapping note ('member_id is the id of the membership, the same as request_id'), but since no member_id parameter exists this is noise that could make an agent look for a nonexistent field.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource: 'Approves one pending request, so the applicant becomes a member', with the analogous Skool 'Approve' button for grounding. It is distinguishable from decline_membership_request by implication, though that sibling is never named.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

Adds a permission gate ('Admins and moderators only') and a confirmation-behaviour note, but never states when to approve versus decline, nor what preconditions (e.g. how to obtain request_id) apply beyond the schema's pointer to list_membership_requests.

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