Get document presence

get_presence
Read-onlyIdempotent

List the people and agents currently present in a collaborative document. Accepts natural workspace names and document titles; internal routing identifiers are optional.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
contextYesDescribe the user's underlying goal in one sentence. Do not include private document content, credentials, or personal information.
articleIdNoInternal document identifier when already available. Omit it when the user referred to the document by title.
workspaceIdNoOptional workspace ID to narrow document lookup. Omit when the document title or ID uniquely identifies a document across authorized workspaces.
articleTitleNoHuman-visible document title. Prefer this over asking the user for an internal document identifier.
workspaceNameNoOptional workspace name to narrow document lookup. A unique document title can be used without a workspace choice.

A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint=false and closed-world access, so the safety profile is fully covered structurally. The description adds only that lookup accepts human-friendly names and that internal IDs are optional, which is routing context rather than behavior. It does not contradict the annotations.

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, no filler, with the core action front-loaded in the first sentence and the identifier-flexibility note second. Every clause carries weight.

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?

With a full output schema and 100% parameter coverage, return values and argument formats are already handled. The description is adequate for a read-only lookup, though it leaves the meaning of 'present' (live session vs. membership) and empty-result behavior unstated.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description echoes the schema's own guidance ('accepts natural workspace names and document titles; internal routing identifiers are optional') but adds no syntax, format, or precedence detail beyond it, and never mentions the required 'context' parameter.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource: 'List the people and agents currently present in a collaborative document.' The resource (presence) is unique among the siblings (comments, threads, articles, exports), so an agent can separate it without opening a schema. It stops short of explicitly naming a sibling it displaces.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Usage is only implied by the purpose: you call this when you need to know who is currently in a document. There is no statement of when-not to use it, no prerequisites, and no pointer to a related tool such as read_article or list_review_threads.

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