replay_request

Destructive

Replay a captured webhook to the user's localhost (the tunnel CLI must be running).

TDQS

A3.5/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true, openWorldHint=true, and idempotentHint=false, so the risk profile is covered. The description adds the operational prerequisite that the local tunnel process must be alive, which is useful, but says nothing about what happens on failure or that a replay re-delivers a real outbound request to the user's machine.

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?

A single front-loaded sentence with the action first and the operational caveat in parentheses. Nothing is wasted and nothing important is buried.

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

Completeness3/5

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

For a two-parameter, annotation-rich tool with no output schema this covers the essentials, but it leaves the agent without the outcome of the call (what a successful replay returns) or how it differs from the near-identical `send_test_webhook` sibling.

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 coverage is 100% and each parameter already documents its source (`list_requests`, `list_tunnels`) with a concrete subdomain example. The description adds nothing about the two parameters beyond the schema, so baseline 3 applies.

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 ('Replay') and resource ('a captured webhook') plus the destination ('the user's localhost'), so the action is unambiguous. It does not, however, distinguish itself from the sibling `send_test_webhook`, which an agent could plausibly confuse it with.

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?

The parenthetical gives one real precondition — the tunnel CLI must be running — which is genuine when-to-use context. Beyond that there are no exclusions or explicit alternatives; the agent must infer the split from `send_test_webhook` on its own.

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