Snooze a schedule

well_snooze_schedule
Idempotent

Snooze one workspace routine: skip its runs until a moment the person names, then let it carry on by itself with the same rhythm. Use it when the person asks to skip a few days, take a break from a routine, or snooze it: "snooze my morning brief until Monday", "skip my brief this week", "no brief before the 20th". The routine stays armed and the person does not have to resume it.

REQUIRED: schedule_id (from well_list_schedules) and snooze_until, an ISO 8601 date and time with an offset, in the person's time zone. A day with no time means the start of that day, so "until Monday" lets Monday's run happen. The routine runs again at its first scheduled time at or after snooze_until. When the person gives a span and no date, do not ask for one: "a few days" is 3 days, "a week" is 7 days. Pick the date, snooze, and say it so the person can correct it.

Works on an active routine that runs on a clock. A routine that starts on an event has no clock to delay: the call is refused, so tell the user and offer to cancel it instead.

Do NOT use this to stop a routine: "disable my morning brief", "stop my brief" and "turn it off" use well_cancel_schedule. Do NOT use it to change the rhythm, the time or the job (use well_update_schedule), or to pause a routine until the user resumes it (use well_update_schedule with status "paused").

Snoozing draws no confirmation card. Say the date of the next run the result returns, in plain words.

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
schedule_idYesThe routine to snooze.
snooze_untilYesWhen the routine may run again, ISO 8601 with an offset, in the person's time zone.
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.

Output Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
errorNo
statusNo
messageNo
successYes
scheduleNo
next_run_atNo
approved_toolsNo
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.
resolved_workspaceNoThe workspace that answered, when the caller named none and the token authorizes several.
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 only say this is a non-destructive idempotent write; the description adds the operational consequences an agent needs: the routine stays armed with no manual resume, no confirmation card is shown so the agent must speak the next run date aloud, event-triggered routines are refused and should be offered a cancel instead, and multi-workspace tokens require workspace_id.

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 purpose, then usage rules, then edge cases — a sensible order with little filler. The final workspace paragraph largely restates the workspace_id schema description, which is the one redundant stretch in an otherwise dense definition.

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 shape need not be explained, yet the description still tells the agent to relay the next-run date from the result. Combined with the event-trigger refusal path, the relative-date policy, and workspace resolution, nothing needed to call it correctly is missing.

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; the description earns extra by defining snooze_until semantics the schema cannot express — a date with no time means start of day so "until Monday" lets Monday's run happen, the run fires at the first scheduled time at or after snooze_until, and "a few days"/"a week" map to 3 and 7 days. It does not add anything for conversation_id, idempotency_key or workspace_scope beyond the schema.

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 (snooze a workspace routine) plus the exact mechanism: skip runs until a named moment, then resume the same rhythm automatically. It explicitly separates itself from well_cancel_schedule and well_update_schedule, so an agent can pick it without opening the siblings.

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?

Gives both positive triggers (skip a few days, take a break, "snooze my morning brief until Monday") and explicit exclusions routed to named alternatives: cancel/stop → well_cancel_schedule; change rhythm/time/job or indefinite pause → well_update_schedule. It also handles the ambiguous case (relative span with no date) with a concrete default policy.

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