CaseMagic — Federal Court Case Lookup & Monitor

Stop watching the case

stop_watch
Idempotent

Stop continuous monitoring of a saved case. Use when the user asks to stop monitoring, stop alerts, pause watching, or unfollow a case. The case, its docket history, its Case Passport and its CaseMail address all remain; only the monitoring stops.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
matter_idNoThe CaseMagic matter id, as returned by create_case_passport or shown in an earlier result. Omit it when the account follows exactly one case and that is the one meant.

Output Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
errorNoPresent only when the call failed: a code, a message and, where there is one, an action such as a link to give the user.
statusNoThe watch status after stopping.
matter_idNoThe case.

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=false and idempotentHint=true, and the description adds genuinely useful context beyond them: the case, docket history, Case Passport and CaseMail address all persist and only monitoring stops. That concretely answers "what does this destroy?" (nothing), though it says nothing about permissions, error behavior, or idempotency in prose.

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?

Three tightly written sentences, front-loaded with the action, then triggers, then the persistence guarantee. Every clause earns its place with no filler.

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?

The tool is simple (one optional param), has an output schema so return values need not be described, and annotations cover safety and idempotency. The description adds the persistence guarantee, leaving only minor gaps such as behavior when no monitored case exists.

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?

Only one optional parameter at 100% schema description coverage, and the schema itself already explains both the matter_id format and the omit-when-single-case semantics. The description adds no parameter-level meaning beyond that, so the baseline 3 applies.

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 ("Stop continuous monitoring of a saved case") and is immediately distinguishable from the sibling watch_case. The scope is unambiguous and no schema read is needed to know what operation runs.

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?

Enumerates concrete trigger phrasings ("stop monitoring, stop alerts, pause watching, or unfollow a case"), which gives the agent strong intent-matching guidance. It does not name the inverse tool (watch_case) or state when-not-to-use, so it stops short of fully explicit routing.

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