Manage App Members

members
DestructiveIdempotent

A v2 app's membership (auth spec section 6): who besides the owner can sign in to a private app and write to member-scoped collections. Actions: add invites or attaches a member by email, attaching immediately when the email already has a Human and otherwise sending a magic-link invite; list returns the app's owner and members; set_role changes an existing member's declared custom role in place, or clears it when null, and leaves their sessions intact, which is what makes it the way to re-role someone rather than removing and re-adding them; remove is idempotent and also revokes the human's live sessions on this app, and the app owner cannot be removed; roles returns the derived roles summary, giving the effective access a holder actually has per declared role and collection, reported separately for signed-in members and for grant-link holders because their role floors differ, along with member and active-grant-link counts.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
roleNoadd only. Defaults to 'member' server-side — no other role is assignable via this API (ownership transfer is not available here).
emailNoadd only. The email to invite/attach. If a Human already exists for it, the member row is attached immediately; otherwise the relay emails a magic-link invite.
actionYesadd: invite-or-attach a member by email (app_id+email; optional custom_roles). list: the app's owner + members (app_id). set_role: replace an existing member's declared roles in place without signing them out (app_id+human_id+custom_roles, an empty list to clear). remove: drop a member (app_id+human_id). roles: the app's declared roles with what each one includes and, per collection, the effective access a holder has (separately for members and grant-link holders, whose role floors differ) plus how many members and live grant links hold each role (app_id).
app_idYesThe app id.
human_idNoremove and set_role. The Human id to target — see list's `humanId` field. The app owner can be neither removed nor re-roled.
custom_rolesNoadd (optional) and set_role (required). The declared roles (x-homespun-manifest.roles keys) attached to the member alongside their base member powers. A member may hold several and holds the union of what each grants, plus everything those roles `includes`. A built-in/reserved role or an undeclared role is rejected. Omit on add for an ordinary member; pass [] on set_role to clear the roles back to a plain member.

A4.3/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

The description discloses important side effects beyond annotations: remove 'revokes the human's live sessions on this app', set_role 'leaves their sessions intact', add attaches immediately if a Human exists otherwise sends a magic-link invite, and the owner cannot be removed. This enriches the idempotent and destructive hints already present.

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?

The description is a single dense paragraph but is organized by action and each clause earns its place given the tool's multi-action complexity. It could be more scannable with bullets, but it is not needlessly verbose.

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?

With no output schema, the description compensates by explaining what list returns (owner + members) and what roles returns (effective access summaries and counts). It also covers constraints and side effects for add, set_role, and remove. It does not describe the exact return values for mutating actions, but that is a minor gap given annotations.

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%, so the baseline is 3, and the description largely restates what the schema already explains (e.g., email invite-or-attach, custom_roles semantics). It adds a small extra by pointing to list's humanId as the source for human_id, but no significant new parameter-level meaning.

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 defines the tool as managing a v2 app's membership and enumerates each action with a specific verb (add, list, set_role, remove, roles), making it clear what the tool does and distinguishing it from sibling tools like grants. The scope is precise: 'who besides the owner can sign in to a private app and write to member-scoped collections.'

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?

The description gives practical guidance, notably that set_role is 'the way to re-role someone rather than removing and re-adding them', and explains add's conditional invite-or-attach behavior. It does not provide explicit when-not-to-use guidance beyond the owner removal constraint, but the context is clear.

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

A4.1/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Most tools are clearly distinct, with row operations (list, get, upsert, update, delete, restore) well separated. Some boundaries like apps vs deploy_app and credentials vs grants require careful reading, but descriptions resolve the overlap.

Naming Consistency2/5

Tool names mix resource nouns (apps, attachments, connections) with verb_noun actions (delete_row, deploy_app). Singular and plural forms are inconsistent, and there is no uniform pattern across the set.

Tool Count3/5

24 tools is on the heavy side, but the platform's breadth (app deployment, data, auth, community) justifies the count. Each tool has a distinct role, though the set slightly exceeds the typical well-scoped range.

Completeness4/5

The surface covers the full app lifecycle: deploy, manage, delete, row CRUD with restore, attachments, credentials, and community features. Minor gaps like no dedicated row search or outbound webhook management are workable via existing tools.
