Dismiss Inbox Item

dismiss_inbox_item

DestructiveIdempotent

Soft-delete a single inbox item by its id (from list_signal_inbox) — not a signal id; sets dismissed_at. The row stays queryable via list_signal_inbox(include_dismissed=true) for audit. Undoable: restore_deleted with kind inbox_item and this inbox_id un-dismisses it. Idempotent. Tier: sp500+ (sample rejected).

Input Schema

Name	Required	Description	Default
`inbox_id`	Yes	Identifier of the inbox item to dismiss (soft-delete), as returned by list_signal_inbox.

Output Schema

Name	Required	Description
`_meta`	Yes	Provenance envelope — data lineage for every MCP response
`inbox_id`	Yes

TDQS

A4.5/5.0

Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true and idempotentHint=true, and the description adds real context on top: it is a soft delete that sets `dismissed_at`, the row remains queryable via list_signal_inbox(include_dismissed=true), and it is reversible via restore_deleted with kind `inbox_item`. The tier gating note (sp500+, sample rejected) further explains an error mode an agent may encounter.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Dense and front-loaded — the core action and the id caveat come first, followed by audit, undo, and tier details. 'Idempotent.' largely restates the idempotentHint annotation, the one sentence that does not fully earn its place.

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?

Output schema exists and annotations carry the safety profile, so the description's job is mostly disambiguation and reversibility, which it covers well. The only gap is not distinguishing dismissal from marking read, which matters for an inbox workflow with both tools available.

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 100% and the single param is already documented, but the description adds meaningful semantics the schema does not: where the id comes from and, critically, that it is an inbox_id rather than a signal id. That disambiguation is the main failure mode for this parameter.

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 ('Soft-delete a single inbox item by its id') and immediately disambiguates the identifier type from a signal id. It also names the source of the id (list_signal_inbox), so an agent can distinguish it from delete_signal and the other delete_* siblings.

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?

Gives clear selection context: use this for inbox items, not signals, and use restore_deleted to reverse it. It does not contrast with the closely related mark_inbox_read sibling (read-state vs. dismissal), which is the one remaining ambiguity an agent could hit.

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