discord_send_webhook_message

Send messages to Discord via webhooks using a webhook ID, with optional custom display name and embeds. The server resolves the webhook token for you.

Instructions

Post a message through a webhook, optionally under a custom display name. The server looks up the webhook token itself.

A3.6/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare a non-read-only, open-world, non-destructive write. The description adds genuinely new information: the server resolves the webhook token itself, so the caller needs only webhook_id and no secret. It stops short of describing irreversibility or rate limits, but it adds real context beyond the annotation set.

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 short sentences, both front-loaded and free of filler; the token-lookup note follows the primary action naturally.

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?

With no output schema and a nested embed object, the description is nearly sufficient, but it never says what comes back (e.g. the created message id) and leaves the max-length content field unaddressed. Minor gaps for a simple post operation.

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 75%, so the schema documents the embed structure, username, and webhook_id; the description only restates the optional display-name behavior. It adds no meaning for the undocumented 'content' parameter, so baseline 3 is appropriate.

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?

States a specific verb+resource ('Post a message through a webhook') and adds the distinguishing mode (webhook vs. bot-authored post), which separates it from discord_send_message even though that sibling is never named. Clear, though sibling differentiation is left implicit.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No when-to-use or when-not guidance. The description never explains why an agent would choose a webhook post over discord_send_message or discord_send_file, nor does it note prerequisites such as the webhook having to exist.

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