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. Idempotent. Tier: sp500+ (sample rejected).

It is a floor for a single filer, not a ceiling: a filer with a live partition receives its filing, facts and ratios intraday (minutes after EDGAR dissemination), so an entity-scoped read may carry a filing newer than this; cross-sectional ranks (factor scores, earnings signals) refresh with the weekly bulk export."

TDQS

A4.7/5.0

Behavior5/5

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

Beyond annotations, it discloses the soft-delete behavior, the dismissed_at field, audit queryability, and idempotence. It also adds the access tier constraint (sp500+, sample rejected), which is useful operational context. No contradiction with the destructiveHint or idempotentHint 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?

Three short sentences, front-loaded with the core purpose, then audit behavior, idempotence, and access tier. Every sentence adds information an agent needs and there is no filler.

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

Completeness5/5

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

The tool is simple: one parameter, with output schema and annotations already provided. The description covers the source of the id, the soft-delete semantics, the audit path, idempotence, and access tier. Nothing necessary for correct invocation is missing.

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?

The schema already documents the single parameter at 100% coverage, so the description does not need to restate it. It adds real value by clarifying that inbox_id comes from list_signal_inbox and is not a signal id, plus noting the idempotent effect.

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?

The description opens with 'Soft-delete a single inbox item by its id', naming a specific verb and resource. It explicitly says the id comes from list_signal_inbox and is 'not a signal id', which distinguishes it from delete_signal and other delete-type 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?

It gives clear context for use by pointing to list_signal_inbox as the source of ids and to include_dismissed=true as the audit/restoration path. It does not explicitly contrast with mark_inbox_read or restore_deleted, so exclusions are not fully spelled out.

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