mark_whatsapp_message_read

Idempotent

Send a read receipt for an inbound WhatsApp message — the blue ticks the contact sees. Takes the wamid from the whatsapp.event.received webhook that delivered the message, plus connection_id or number_id naming the number it arrived on (Sautikit stores no messages, so the wamid alone does not identify the number).

Tool call template

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

  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "arguments": {
      "wamid": "<wamid>"
    },
    "name": "mark_whatsapp_message_read"

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
wamidYesMeta message id of the INBOUND message to acknowledge, taken from the whatsapp.event.received webhook that delivered it
purposeNoRequired on tools that read data or reports; recommended on every tool. One sentence: what you are doing and why (for example "finding this caller's open ticket to answer them"). Building a report, dashboard, analytics or an export is a SautiDesk Pro feature done by the report tools, not by pulling records.
number_idNoSautikit number id (a UUID from list_numbers) the message arrived on; mutually exclusive with connection_id
connection_idNoUUID of the WhatsApp connection the message arrived on; mutually exclusive with number_id

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already establish idempotency, non-destructiveness and closed-world scope, so the description needn't restate safety. It adds real behavioral context the annotations don't carry: that Sautikit stores no messages, so the wamid alone cannot identify the number — explaining why a second identifier is required. It does not describe failure modes (invalid wamid, stale receipt), keeping it at 4.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two sentences, front-loaded with the action and its visible effect, followed by the exact sourcing constraint for the identifiers. The parenthetical is load-bearing rather than decorative; nothing could be cut without losing information.

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 a single-required-parameter acknowledgement tool with no output schema, the description covers the action, the prerequisite source of the id, and why the optional identifiers exist. Only minor gaps remain: what the tool returns and how it behaves on an already-read or unknown message.

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 rationale beyond the schema: wamid must be the INBOUND message id sourced from the webhook, and the number/connection identifier is needed because the message isn't retained server-side. That explains intent rather than just repeating field definitions.

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 specific verb and resource ("Send a read receipt for an inbound WhatsApp message") and disambiguates with the observable effect ("the blue ticks the contact sees"). That clearly separates it from send_whatsapp_message and send_whatsapp_typing without the agent needing to open a schema.

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?

Gives the concrete trigger: it applies to inbound messages whose wamid came from the whatsapp.event.received webhook. It does not explicitly name alternatives or state when not to use it (e.g. for outbound messages or already-read threads), so it stops short of full when/when-not guidance.

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