Skool MCP Server and API by Cotlet

Get conversation

get_conversation
Read-onlyIdempotent

The latest messages of one Skool Chat conversation, oldest first. Returns up to limit latest messages of one Skool Chat conversation, oldest first. from is You for your own messages and the other member's member_id otherwise; their name is in list_conversations. Reading does not mark the conversation read.

A4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent and non-destructive. The description adds real behavioral value beyond them: reading does NOT mark the conversation read, and the returned 'from' value is 'You' for your own messages, versus a member_id otherwise. It omits cursor/pagination behavior beyond the limit cap.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

The opening is well front-loaded, but the first sentence is essentially repeated ('The latest messages ... oldest first. Returns up to limit latest messages ... oldest first.'), which is an obvious redundancy. The remaining sentences are lean, but the duplication wastes prime space.

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 low-complexity tool with two parameters, strong annotations and no output schema, the description is nearly sufficient: it covers ordering, the limit cap, the sender field and the lack of read side effects. It could say more about the message payload fields (text, timestamps) since no output schema exists.

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%: both limit (1-100, default 50) and conversation_id (from list_conversations or send_message) are documented in the schema. The description's 'latest ... oldest first' clarifies what limit truncates in results, but it adds little about the parameters themselves, so the baseline 3 applies.

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 action and resource: read the latest messages of one Skool Chat conversation, oldest first. This clearly separates it from list_conversations (conversation metadata) and send_message (writes), both of which are present in the sibling list.

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?

Implies the read path after list_conversations and points at that sibling for member names, so the workflow is inferable. It does not state exclusions, such as how much history to pull versus other message-related tools, but the context is clear enough for selection.

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