Buy sending capacity

setup_sending
Destructive

Provision warmed sending capacity (domains, mailboxes, DNS and warmup). An unconfirmed request returns a free quote, confirmation_token, and approval_url. After signed-in human approval, a request with that token and a stable idempotency_key executes the purchase. Requires assets:purchase. Successful execution returns an operation_id whose status is available from get_operation. dry_run: true returns an advisory estimate as of evaluated_at, reserves nothing, and may differ from a later execution plan.

A4.5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Goes well beyond the annotations (readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=true, openWorldHint=true, idempotentHint=false) by disclosing the required assets:purchase scope, the human-approval gate, the side-effect-free nature of dry_run, and that the operation_id status is retrievable via get_operation. The 'stable idempotency_key' retry guidance is compatible with idempotentHint=false, since deduplication depends on the caller supplying the same key.

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?

Four sentences, front-loaded with the purpose and then the quote/approve/execute flow, with dry_run's caveat last. Dense but every sentence carries operational information; no filler.

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 an 8-parameter, nested-object, no-output-schema tool this covers the risky parts well: the approval flow, permission requirement, what dry_run returns, and how to poll the resulting operation. The remaining gap is that several input parameters (sender, brand_hint, prefer_prewarmed) are left entirely unexplained.

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 only 13% (just idempotency_key), so the description must compensate. It meaningfully explains dry_run, confirmation_token, approval_url, and idempotency_key, but says nothing about sender, brand_hint, prefer_prewarmed, or the 50–50000 emails_per_week bounds, leaving half the parameters undocumented.

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 concrete verb and resource ('Provision warmed sending capacity') and enumerates what is provisioned (domains, mailboxes, DNS, warmup). This is clearly distinguishable from every sibling, which are search, enrichment, and campaign tools.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicitly lays out the two-phase workflow: an unconfirmed request yields a quote plus confirmation_token/approval_url, and only a signed-in human approval followed by a request carrying that token executes the purchase. It also states exactly when to use dry_run:true (advisory estimate, reserves nothing) versus a real execution.

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