Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
conversationIdYesThe conversation ID
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavioral traits. It explains the basic action but omits details such as whether the indicator auto-stops after sending a message, its duration, or if it requires an active conversation. This lack of depth for a simple tool reduces transparency.

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?

The description is a single sentence of 12 words, front-loaded with the action verb 'Send'. It is maximally concise with no wasted words.

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?

Given the tool's simplicity (one required param, no output schema), the description covers the essential purpose and context. However, it could be slightly more complete by mentioning that the indicator is temporary or that it should be sent before composing a message.

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% (the only parameter 'conversationId' has a description). The tool description does not add any additional meaning beyond the schema's 'The conversation ID'. With high coverage, baseline is 3, and no extra value is provided.

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 clearly states the action 'send a typing indicator' and the context 'in a conversation to show the user that you are composing a reply.' It uses a specific verb+resource combination, distinguishing it from sibling tools like zernio_send_message.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description does not provide explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like zernio_send_message or zernio_send_broadcast. The purpose is clear enough to infer, but no when/not-to-use or alternative tool references are given.

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