Test Rule (dry run)

test_rule

Read-onlyIdempotent

Dry-run a rule's condition_expr against a SYNTHETIC trigger payload — reports whether it WOULD have fired, but NEVER dispatches the action (no report generated, no team run, no message sent, no inbox write). Use this immediately after create_rule to sanity-check the condition before it starts evaluating against real events. Pass sample_payload_override to test against specific field values (e.g. {price_change_pct: 12}).

Input Schema

Name	Required	Description	Default
`rule_id`	Yes	Identifier of the rule to dry-run, from create_rule or list_rules.
`sample_payload_override`	No	Merged over the built-in synthetic payload for this rule's trigger_type — lets you test a specific value.

Output Schema

Name	Required	Description
`note`	Yes
`_meta`	Yes	Provenance envelope — data lineage for every MCP response
`reason`	Yes
`rule_id`	Yes
`would_fire`	Yes
`action_type`	Yes
`synthetic_payload`	Yes

TDQS

A4.7/5.0

Behavior5/5

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

Enumerates exactly what will NOT happen (no report generated, no team run, no message sent, no inbox write), which is the key behavioral fact an agent needs and is consistent with readOnlyHint/non-destructive annotations. Adds real context beyond the annotations rather than repeating them.

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 tight sentences: what it does, what it will never do, and when to use it — the safety guarantee is front-loaded. No filler or redundant restatement of the name.

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?

With 2 params, an output schema present, and full annotation coverage, the description fills the remaining gaps: side-effect profile, synthetic-payload behavior, and the intended post-create_rule workflow. Nothing an agent needs to invoke it correctly 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?

Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3, but the description adds merge semantics ('merged over the built-in synthetic payload') and a concrete example ({price_change_pct: 12}) that goes beyond the schema's phrasing. rule_id is left entirely to the schema, hence not a 5.

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 (dry-run) on a specific resource (rule's condition_expr) and clarifies the distinct scope: reports whether it would fire but never dispatches the action. The 'synthetic trigger payload' framing separates it unambiguously from create_rule or test_signal.

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 an explicit when-to-use trigger ('immediately after create_rule to sanity-check the condition before it starts evaluating against real events') plus when-not-to-expect-side-effects. It does not mention the sibling test_signal or list_rules as alternatives, so routing is clear but not complete.

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