aw_watch

Idempotent

Add endpoints to your personal watchlist (probed immediately, then every 6h).

Plan-limited by the email used at checkout: free 5, Builder ($19/mo) 50,
Team ($99/mo) 500 endpoints. Alerts fire on alive→dead transitions and
tool-schema drift. Already-watched URLs are returned without re-probing.

Args:
    email: the email your subscription is under (free tier works too)
    urls: endpoint URLs to add to your watchlist
    watch_token: issued at registration, delivered in your onboarding email — required

TDQS

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Goes well beyond the annotations: it explains immediate probing, periodic re-probing, alert conditions, plan-based quotas, required watch_token auth, and idempotent behavior for already-watched URLs. No contradiction with idempotentHint=true or destructiveHint=false.

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?

Dense but economical: purpose, behavior, plan limits, alert semantics, and parameters are covered in a few sentences with no filler. The most important information is front-loaded.

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?

Covers the main API contract: what the tool does, when it runs, what triggers alerts, plan constraints, and required token. It does not specify quota-exceeded behavior or detailed response shape, but this is still a well-specified tool description.

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 0%, but the Args section compensates by explaining all three parameters: email identifies the subscription/plan, urls are the endpoints to watch, and watch_token is required for the operation. It lacks format details for URLs, but the core meaning is clear.

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?

The description opens with a specific verb and object: 'Add endpoints to your personal watchlist.' It clearly distinguishes this from one-off checks and explains the monitoring behavior, so an agent can immediately identify the tool's purpose.

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?

The description provides clear context: this tool adds endpoints to a watchlist that are probed immediately and then every 6 hours, with alerts on state changes. It does not explicitly contrast with sibling tools like aw_check_endpoint, so it stops short of full when-to-use versus when-not-to-use guidance.

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