Tool Definition Quality
Average 3.1/5 across 31 of 34 tools scored. Lowest: 2.1/5.
All 34 tools have clearly distinct purposes, organized by domain (campaigns, contacts, providers, tasks, settings, deliverability, spam checking). No two tools overlap in functionality, ensuring an agent can reliably select the correct tool.
Every tool follows a consistent verb_noun pattern in snake_case (e.g., add_contact, list_campaigns, check_domain_deliverability). The naming convention is uniform and predictable across all tools.
With 34 tools, the server is comprehensive, covering numerous aspects of email campaign management. While on the higher side, each tool serves a distinct purpose and the count is justified given the breadth of functionality.
The tool surface provides full CRUD and lifecycle coverage for campaigns, contacts, providers, tasks, and settings, plus additional utilities like deliverability checks, spam scoring, and test emails. There are no obvious gaps for the intended domain.

Add a sequence step (delay in hours, subject, body)
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| day | Yes | Delay in hours | |
| body | Yes | ||
| subject | Yes | ||
| campaignId | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided. Description only hints at mutation but does not disclose behavioral traits like data validation, side effects, or limits.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence, concise and to the point. Could be slightly improved by front-loading the verb and object.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema, no annotations, and only 25% schema coverage, the description is insufficient. It does not explain return value, error handling, or integration with campaign sequences.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Description clarifies that 'delay in hours' refers to the 'day' parameter, and mentions subject/body, adding meaning beyond schema where 'day' is described. However, 'campaignId' is not explained, and overall schema coverage is 25%.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states verb 'Add', resource 'campaign step', and key parameters (delay in hours, subject, body). It distinguishes from siblings like delete_campaign_step or update_campaign_step.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as create_campaign or update_campaign_step. Lacks context for agent decision-making.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

No annotations exist, and the description fails to disclose any behavioral traits such as idempotency, duplicate handling, required permissions, or side effects. This is a significant gap.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise (three words), which avoids verbosity but is under-specified for a tool with 6 parameters. It earns a middle score for brevity without sacrificing essential information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the lack of output schema, annotations, and parameter descriptions, the one-line description is wholly inadequate. The agent cannot infer return behavior or understand the full impact of using this tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the tool description provides no information about parameters. The agent must rely solely on parameter names like 'tags' and 'title', which lack format or purpose clarifications. The description adds no value beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description explicitly states the action (Add) and resource (a single contact), distinguishing it from the sibling tool 'add_contacts' which implies batch addition. The purpose is unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With no output schema and no annotations, the description is incomplete. It does not specify return values, error handling, or atomicity of bulk addition (e.g., partial failures). For a bulk mutation tool, these are critical gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%. The description does not elaborate on the 'contacts' parameter structure (array of objects with required email and firstName, optional tags, etc.). It adds no value beyond the schema, leaving the agent to parse raw JSON schema without guidance.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'add', the resource 'contacts', and the bulk nature with a key constraint (max 100). It distinguishes from the sibling tool 'add_contact' which likely handles single contacts.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for bulk addition via the name 'add_contacts' and the 'Bulk' keyword, but it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus the singular 'add_contact' or any prerequisites or restrictions beyond the limit.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Schema coverage is only 33% (only providerId has a description). The description adds no additional meaning to body or subject parameters, leaving their roles ambiguous.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states the tool sends a test email to yourself for previewing formatting, which is a specific verb and resource that distinguishes it from sibling tools like schedule_campaign or process_campaigns.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Description implies the tool is for self-testing and previewing, but does not explicitly state when to avoid using it or mention alternative tools like sending a real campaign.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
set_settingAInspect
Set a user setting (e.g. timezone to 'America/New_York')
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| key | Yes | ||
| value | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only states the basic action without revealing side effects, error handling, idempotency, or any auth/rate limit information.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, front-loaded sentence with no wasted words. It efficiently conveys the core action and an example.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple mutation tool with no output schema and 0% parameter coverage, the description is minimally adequate. It provides an example but lacks details on behavior (e.g., upsert vs. update only) and does not compensate for the schema gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 0% description coverage, leaving parameters undefined. The description adds an example ('timezone' to 'America/New_York'), giving context to the 'key' and 'value' parameters, but does not list valid keys or value formats.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Set a user setting' with a specific example. It distinguishes from sibling 'get_setting' and other tools by focusing on setting a key-value pair.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage context (setting a user setting) but provides no guidance on when to use this tool vs. alternatives, nor any exclusions or prerequisites.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
update_campaignCInspect
Update a campaign's name
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | Yes | ||
| name | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only states the tool updates a campaign's name, but fails to mention side effects, error handling, permissions, or whether the operation is reversible. This is insufficient for a mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, which is concise and front-loaded. However, it sacrifices completeness for brevity; a few extra words could significantly improve clarity without harming conciseness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has two required parameters and no output schema or annotations, the description lacks essential context such as return values, error conditions, and prerequisites. It is incomplete for an AI agent to reliably select and invoke the tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description should compensate. It adds meaning for the 'name' parameter but does not explain the 'id' parameter. This partial coverage is minimal; more detail is needed to guide correct invocation.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Update' and the resource 'campaign's name', indicating the tool's purpose. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling update tools or specify that only the name field is updated, leaving some ambiguity.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'create_campaign' or 'update_campaign_step'. There is no mention of prerequisites, limitations, or scenarios where this tool is appropriate.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
update_campaign_stepCInspect
Update a campaign step's day, subject, or body
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | Yes | ||
| day | No | Delay in hours | |
| body | No | ||
| subject | No |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description should fully disclose behavior. It states an update is performed but does not indicate if changes are destructive, reversible, require permissions, or have side effects.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence with no unnecessary words. However, it could be slightly more structured (e.g., listing parameters).
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the lack of output schema and annotations, the description should elaborate on return values or effects of the update. It does not, leaving gaps for an agent.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is low (25%), and the description only lists the fields without adding meaningful details. For example, it does not explain the 'day' parameter's unit or constraints beyond the schema's 'Delay in hours'.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Update' and the resource 'campaign step', and specifies the updatable attributes (day, subject, body). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like add_campaign_step and delete_campaign_step.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., add_campaign_step or delete_campaign_step). There is no mention of prerequisites or scenarios.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
update_contact_tagsBInspect
Set tags on a contact (replaces all tags)
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | Yes | ||
| tags | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Discloses the key behavioral trait that it replaces all tags. However, without annotations, it doesn't mention idempotency, safety, or side effects like irreversibility.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
One sentence, directly front-loaded, no wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Minimal but covers core behavior for a simple 2-param tool. Lacks details on edge cases (empty tags) and interaction with sibling tools.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and description does not explain what 'id' refers to or the format of tags. Only adds the context of replacement, not parameter meaning.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Set tags on a contact (replaces all tags)' clearly states the verb (Set) and resource (tags on a contact). Adding the replacement behavior distinguishes it from an add operation.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like list_tags or add_contacts. Lacks scenarios or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
update_taskCInspect
Update a task's status, priority, or fields
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | Yes | ||
| title | No | ||
| status | No | ||
| dueDate | No | ||
| priority | No | ||
| description | No |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, and the description does not disclose any side effects, permissions, error states, or behavioral traits beyond the fact that it mutates the task.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is short and to the point, but it sacrifices necessary detail for brevity. It is clean but insufficient.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given 6 parameters, no schema descriptions, no annotations, and no output schema, the description fails to provide adequate context. It does not cover parameter behaviors, return values, or usage nuances.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description should add meaning to parameters, but it only mentions 'status, priority, or fields' without explaining any parameter's purpose, format, or constraints.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool updates a task and mentions status, priority, or fields. It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools like create_task or delete_task.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives like create_task or list_tasks. No prerequisites or context provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
