fillout

Create a submission webhook

fillout_create_webhook
Destructive

Subscribe a URL to a form's new submissions: Fillout will POST each submission (same shape as a fillout_list_submissions entry) to it. Returns the webhook id — keep it, it is the only handle for removing the webhook later. Fillout: POST /webhook/create.

Input Schema

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations only supply destructiveHint=true, so the description carries most of the burden and does add real value: what Fillout will send (submission payload matching a list_submissions entry) and that the webhook id is the sole removal handle. It omits auth/permission requirements and any mention of whether creation is idempotent or what happens on duplicate URLs.

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?

Two compact sentences plus the raw API mapping, front-loaded with the effect and follow-up with the id-retention warning. 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?

For a two-parameter mutation tool with no output schema, the description explains the side effect and what is returned (the webhook id), which is exactly what an agent needs. Minor gap: no mention of permissions/auth needed to register a webhook.

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 description coverage is 100%, so both formId and url are already fully documented (including 'the formId from fillout_list_forms'). The description adds no syntax or constraint detail beyond the schema, so the baseline of 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?

Specific verb+resource: 'Subscribe a URL to a form's new submissions' with the exact delivery mechanism (Fillout POSTs each submission to it). It also distinguishes itself from siblings by referencing the fillout_list_submissions payload shape and the later fillout_remove_webhook lifecycle.

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?

Clear context for when to use it (wanting each new submission pushed to an endpoint) and a strong operational rule — 'keep the id, it is the only handle for removing the webhook later.' It stops short of explicitly naming alternatives or stating when not to use it (e.g., if you only need polling via fillout_list_submissions).

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