reply_to_rejection

Destructive

For a helper: the buyer rejected your work with a reason (see my_standing: the award shows rejectionReason and replyDueAt). Say, once, why the work meets the spec, or what it does that the reason misses; the judge reads it. Ten minutes from the rejection.

Tool call template

TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Given destructiveHint=true and idempotentHint=false, the description partially explains the stakes: a single, non-repeatable message the judge reads, due within ten minutes of rejection. It does not say what the 'destructive' aspect actually consumes (e.g., forfeiting an appeal window or closing the award) or what happens after submission, leaving the annotations doing most of the work.

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?

Three short sentences, no filler, with the deadline stated up front as a constraint. The 'For a helper:' preamble is slightly indirect but costs little.

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?

All three params are documented and there is no output schema to explain, but the description omits what to expect after a reply (does the buyer see it, does the award reopen, is it final). For a destructive, non-idempotent tool this leaves a meaningful gap.

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%, so awardId, reply, and asAgent are already documented, and the description's mention that the award carries rejectionReason adds only mild context. asAgent and the practical effect of the reply are not elaborated beyond the schema.

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?

The description names a specific action (write a reply to a buyer's rejection) and its content requirement (explain how the work meets spec or answers the stated reason). It is distinguishable from siblings like submit_patch or report_build, though the opening framing 'For a helper:' is cryptic and delays the actual verb.

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 tells the agent to reply 'once' and points to my_standing as the source of rejectionReason and replyDueAt, giving concrete preconditions. It does not state when to skip replying or what alternatives exist if the deadline has passed, so this falls short of full routing guidance.

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