Mark connect attempts as told

well_mark_connects_told
Idempotent

Mark connect attempts as told, after the reply said them.

Call it once per reply, after the reply says the lines for the unfinished_connects entries of well_list_connectors. Pass the workspace_connector_id of each entry the reply said. Never pass an entry the reply did not say: an unmarked entry comes back on the next read, and that is how the person still hears about it. Say nothing about this call in the reply.

When the token authorizes one workspace, call this directly — no workspace call is needed first. When it authorizes several, this read will not guess which one you mean: pass workspace_id on the call.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
workspace_idNoTarget workspace. Omit when the token authorizes one workspace. Required when it authorizes several — a write lands in exactly one workspace and this call would not say which.
conversation_idNoThe conversation id returned by the previous Well result, in its meta under well/conversation_id, in its structuredContent, or in its JSON text block. Pass it back on every call in the same conversation, including a call a card makes, so the chosen workspace and the earlier answers still apply. It decides the conversation on its own: nothing the host states about the session replaces it. Omit it only on the first call of a conversation.
idempotency_keyNoOptional client-supplied key. A retried write with the same key returns the original result instead of re-applying the operation.
workspace_scopeNoRestrict this call to the family: the token's primary workspace plus the company workspaces under it that you are a member of. Unrelated authorized workspaces drop out of the read; row reads merge across the family, while a per-workspace figure still reports exactly one workspace.
workspace_connector_idsYesThe `workspace_connector_id` of each `unfinished_connects` entry the reply said.

Output Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
errorNo
markedNoThe ids this call marked told.
successYesTrue when the call ran. An attempt already marked is not marked again.
conversation_idNoThe conversation this result belongs to. Pass it back as the conversation_id argument on every later Well call in the same conversation.
newly_connectedNoTools that connected to this workspace since the last result and that no session was told about yet, oldest first. Present only when at least one tool is new. The connected-line rule says when to tell an entry; when it does, one line per entry, in the person's language: "<name> is connected.". Never fold several entries into one sentence. Each entry comes back once, on one result only: never repeat its line later.
conversation_id_noteNoPresent only when the server opened a fresh lane, stating that no choice recorded earlier was read.
conversation_id_sourceNoWhere the conversation id came from: the host's own request meta, the caller's argument, or a fresh lane the server opened.

TDQS

A4.8/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations cover the safety profile (idempotent, non-destructive, write), but the description adds real behavioral context beyond them: unmarked entries resurface on the next read, which is the mechanism by which the person still hears about them, and the call must be invisible in the reply. That is disclosure an agent could not derive from the structured fields.

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?

Front-loaded with the action and its trigger, and every paragraph carries information. Some sentences are wordy ('and that is how the person still hears about it'), which costs a little tightness, but nothing is redundant.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

An output schema exists, so return values need no explanation. Combined with full parameter coverage, the when/when-not guidance, the retry semantics, and the workspace-authorization rule, an agent has everything needed to invoke this correctly.

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 schema already documents all five parameters and the baseline would be 3. The description nonetheless adds meaning by explaining the provenance of `workspace_connector_ids` (entries the reply said) and the single-vs-multi-workspace rule for `workspace_id`, going beyond the field text.

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 precise verb+resource ('mark connect attempts as told') and ties it directly to the `unfinished_connects` entries produced by well_list_connectors, so an agent can distinguish it from every list/read sibling. The scope is unambiguous without opening either schema.

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 says when to call (once per reply, after the reply has said the lines), what to pass (the `workspace_connector_id` of each entry that was said), what never to pass (an entry the reply did not say), and how to handle single- vs multi-workspace tokens. Both the positive and negative conditions are stated.

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