create_video_verification_session

Create a real-person verification session

Open verificationUrl in a browser to complete personal consent and verification.

The provider redirects the browser to callbackUrl. A browser callback alone is not proof of verification: query this session to retrieve the trusted result. Verification URLs are sensitive and should only be shared with the person.

A3.6/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden and does add meaningful behavior: the trusted-result model (callback alone is insufficient), the redirect flow, and a sensitivity warning about sharing verification URLs. It omits auth/permission requirements, cost implications, and session lifetime, which keeps it from a 5.

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 four prose sentences are front-loaded and well written, but they are buried under a large auto-generated dump of 200/422 response schemas, example payloads, and internal ADR-0003 credit-deprecation TODO notes that are irrelevant to calling this tool. Roughly 80% of the text is noise.

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?

The workflow is explained well for a one-parameter tool with no annotations, but the description references a verificationUrl while the embedded response example only shows success/meta, leaving the agent unsure what fields (session id, URL, expiry) actually come back. Combined with the undocumented callbackUrl constraints, it is adequate but incomplete.

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 0% for the single required parameter, so the description must compensate. It does explain callbackUrl as the redirect target, but says nothing about constraints such as allowlisting, absolute-URL/HTTPS requirements, or query-parameter preservation, so the agent still cannot construct a valid value with confidence.

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?

The opening line states a specific verb and resource: 'Create a real-person verification session'. It clearly contrasts with the read-only sibling get_video_verification_session by implying a create-then-query lifecycle, but it never names that sibling, leaving the agent to infer which tool retrieves the result.

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?

It gives real workflow guidance: open verificationUrl in a browser for consent, expect the provider to redirect to callbackUrl, and do not treat the callback as proof — query the session instead. That is clear context for when and how to use it, though it stops short of explicit preconditions or named alternatives.

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