Run a workflow test

trigger_execution
Run a test execution of a saved workflow (Manual/Webhook-style
triggers). It runs for real, so it may send real messages -- ask the
user first. Then read the result with get_execution. For
Schedule/Chat/Form triggers prefer self_heal_workflow.

A4.4/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already mark the tool as non-read-only and open-world, but the description adds critical operational context: the execution is real, may send real messages, and therefore requires user confirmation. This goes well beyond the annotations without contradicting them.

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?

Four sentences, front-loaded with the action and the most important safety warning. Every sentence earns its place: trigger scope, real-execution warning, follow-up tool, and alternative trigger guidance.

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?

Given the simple one-parameter schema and no output schema, the description supplies the key behavioral context an agent needs: consent, real-world side effects, result retrieval, and trigger-type routing. The only gap is parameter documentation for workflow_id.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not explain the sole required parameter workflow_id beyond implying it refers to a saved workflow. With a low-coverage schema, the description should compensate but does not provide format, source, or validation details; the parameter name is self-explanatory but insufficiently documented.

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, resource, and scope: running a real test execution of a saved workflow with Manual/Webhook-style triggers. It clearly distinguishes itself from siblings by naming self_heal_workflow for other trigger types and get_execution for reading results.

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 use this tool, when to prefer the sibling self_heal_workflow, and what to do next with get_execution. It also gives a clear consent requirement: ask the user first because it runs for real.

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