Batch Sales Representatives

brc_batch_sales_reps
Destructive

Processes a batch of sales representatives using explicit code and name fields. Maximum 100 items per batch request. Requires a valid routeToken issued for the matching action workflow. The token remains valid through lookup, preview and the permitted transaction. Placeholder tokens are invalid. A routeToken does not bypass preview or explicit-confirmation requirements. A call without confirmWrite: true returns confirmation_required and a payload preview. confirmWrite: true applies the previewed change after explicit confirmation. Passing preflight is not confirmation.

Tool call template

Replace each placeholder with a value matching the input schema. Only required parameters are included; add optional parameters as needed.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
itemsYesBatch items to process. Maximum 100 items per request.
routeTokenYesOpaque routeToken from brc_route_request for this action workflow. Required for transactional tools. Routing permission only — does not replace preview-before-posting or confirmWrite.
companyNameYesCompany context name, for example YOUR-COMPANY-NAME.
confirmWriteNoMust be true only after a plain-English preview before posting has been shown in the current conversation and the user explicitly confirmed posting (for example yes, create it / post it now / confirm). Never set true on the first call or because the user initially asked to create something. Nothing is written to Big Red Cloud until you confirm.
connectionRefNoOpaque Red connection reference returned by brc_confirm_company_connection. Pass this exact value on every later tool call when the MCP client rotates session ids (for example Vibe/Mistral). Keep reusing the same connectionRef after successful tool calls — do not start a new connection because a lookup returned empty or partial data. It is not an API key and does not contain credentials.

TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the annotations (readOnlyHint false, destructiveHint true), the description discloses the 100-item batch cap, that placeholder tokens are invalid, that a routeToken does not bypass preview or confirmation, that preflight is not confirmation, and what happens on a call without confirmWrite. This is exactly the behavioral detail a destructive write tool needs.

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?

Purpose and batch limit are front-loaded, and the confirmation workflow follows logically. However, the token/confirmation rules are restated across several sentences ('a routeToken does not bypass preview', 'passing preflight is not confirmation', the confirmWrite sentence), which is deliberate emphasis but still some redundancy for a destructive tool.

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 usefully explains the confirmation_required response and payload preview that a non-confirmed call returns. It is strong on the write-safety workflow, though it says little about the successful-batch return value or how partial failures are reported.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3, but the description adds meaning on top: batch items use explicit code/name fields and are capped at 100 per request. It reinforces the confirmWrite and routeToken semantics rather than merely restating property names, though it adds nothing new about companyName or connectionRef.

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 description opens with a specific verb and resource: 'Processes a batch of sales representatives.' It also names the operative fields (code and name), so an agent knows exactly what entity is being written. It does not explicitly contrast itself with the single-item sibling brc_create_sales_rep or the other brc_batch_* tools, so it falls short of a 5.

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 concrete conditional guidance: call without confirmWrite returns confirmation_required, and confirmWrite should only be set after a plain-English preview and explicit user confirmation. It also states the routeToken must come from the matching action workflow. What is missing is routing advice versus alternatives such as brc_create_sales_rep for single records.

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