Webex MCP Server
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides AI assistants with comprehensive access to Cisco Webex messaging capabilities.
From business intent to Webex action
AI agents can use this server as a collaboration action layer: translate a business goal into a sequence of Webex operations, choose the relevant capabilities, and carry the workflow through to completion. That can mean notifying customers, assembling incident-response rooms, maintaining customer teams and spaces, governing people and memberships, reacting to Webex events, or connecting enterprise content and approval interactions.
Because the server exposes messages, rooms, teams, memberships, people, webhooks, events, tabs, attachment actions, and ECM folders as composable MCP tools, agents can build workflows around the business need instead of being limited to one hard-coded automation.
Create launch-ready media from Claude or Codex
This explainer was created from a plain-language request using the Agentic Media Harness. Its agentic-media plugin turns Claude Code or Codex into a production media workflow: it reads your repository, enhances the prompt, generates images or videos, checks motion and script accuracy, iterates on quality, and records every prompt, score, and dollar spent.
Install the plugin once, then create repository-aware product videos, hero images, infographics, and launch assets without leaving your coding agent.

Quick Start
Prerequisites
Node.js 18+ (20+ recommended). Warning: if you run with a lower version of Node,
fetchwon't be present. Tools usefetchto make HTTP calls. To work around this, you can modify the tools to usenode-fetchinstead. Make sure thatnode-fetchis installed as a dependency and then import it asfetchinto each tool file.Docker (optional, for containerized deployment)
Webex API token from developer.webex.com
Token Renewal
Webex Bearer tokens are short-lived. Your current token expires in 12 hours. To renew:
Visit: https://developer.webex.com/messaging/docs/api/v1/rooms/list-rooms
Login with your email
Copy the new bearer token from your profile
Update environment variable "WEBEX_PUBLIC_WORKSPACE_API_KEY" with new token (remove "Bearer " prefix)
Installation
Clone and install dependencies:
git clone <repository-url> cd webex-messaging-mcp-server npm installConfigure environment:
cp .env.example .env # Edit .env with your Webex API tokenTest the server:
# List available tools node index.js tools # Discover tools with detailed analysis npm run discover-tools # Start MCP server (STDIO mode - default) node mcpServer.js # Start MCP server (HTTP mode) npm run start:http
🔍 Tool Discovery
The server includes comprehensive tool discovery capabilities:
Tool Discovery Commands
# Human-readable tool analysis
npm run discover-tools
# JSON output for programmatic use
npm run discover-tools -- --json
# Filter tools by category
ENABLED_TOOLS=create_message,list_rooms npm run discover-tools
# Get help
npm run discover-tools -- --helpTool Manifest
The tools-manifest.json file provides:
Tool Categories: Messages, Rooms, Teams, Memberships, People, Webhooks, Enterprise
52 Total Tools: Complete Webex messaging API coverage
Environment Configuration: Required and optional variables
Testing Information: Coverage and validation details
Migration History: MCP protocol upgrade documentation
Tool Organization
Tools are organized by functionality:
Messages (6 tools): Create, list, edit, delete messages
Rooms (6 tools): Room management and configuration
Teams (5 tools): Team creation and management
Memberships (10 tools): Room and team membership operations
People (6 tools): User profile and directory management
Webhooks (7 tools): Event notifications and webhook management
Enterprise (12 tools): ECM folders, room tabs, attachments
Tool selection and behavior metadata
All 52 tools publish MCP annotations plus compact selection and behavior
guidance through tools/list. The original purpose sentence and input schema
remain unchanged; the appended guidance identifies the closest sibling tool,
whether the operation reads or changes Webex state, and how API errors and
rate limits are returned.
Annotations are descriptive hints for MCP clients, not authorization controls. The Webex access token and organization policies remain authoritative.

| type | Yes | The type of the action (e.g., "submit"). |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It states 'create' implying a write operation but doesn't disclose behavioral traits like required permissions, whether this is idempotent, rate limits, or what happens on success/failure. The description is minimal and lacks essential context for a mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, efficient sentence with zero waste. It's appropriately sized and front-loaded, directly stating the tool's function without unnecessary elaboration.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a mutation tool with 3 parameters, no annotations, and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It doesn't explain what an attachment action is, what the tool returns, error conditions, or how it differs from related tools, leaving significant gaps for an AI agent to understand proper usage.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 67%, with the 'inputs' object having detailed parameter descriptions but 'type' and 'messageId' lacking context. The description adds no parameter semantics beyond what the schema provides, so it meets the baseline of 3 given moderate schema coverage but doesn't compensate for gaps.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states the tool creates a new attachment action in Webex, which is a clear verb+resource combination. However, it doesn't specify what an 'attachment action' is or differentiate it from sibling tools like create_message or edit_message, leaving the purpose somewhat vague.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. With siblings like create_message and edit_message that might involve attachments, the description offers no context about prerequisites, appropriate scenarios, or exclusions for this specific attachment action creation.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
create_ecm_folderC
Create an ECM folder configuration in Webex.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| contentUrl | Yes | The URL of the content associated with the folder. | |
| defaultFolder | No | Whether this folder is the default folder. | |
| displayName | Yes | The display name for the folder. | |
| driveId | Yes | The ID of the drive where the folder is located. | |
| itemId | Yes | The ID of the item (folder) to be linked. | |
| roomId | Yes | The ID of the room where the folder will be linked. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states 'Create' which implies a write operation, but doesn't mention permissions required, whether it's idempotent, error handling, or what happens on success (e.g., returns a folder ID). This leaves significant gaps for an agent to understand the tool's behavior.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, clear sentence with no wasted words. It's front-loaded with the core action and resource, making it easy to parse quickly. Every word contributes directly to stating the tool's purpose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity of a creation tool with 6 parameters, no annotations, and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It doesn't explain what the tool returns, error conditions, or behavioral nuances like whether 'defaultFolder' being optional affects the outcome. This leaves the agent with insufficient context for reliable use.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so the input schema fully documents all 6 parameters with descriptions. The description adds no additional parameter semantics beyond implying a folder is created, which aligns with the schema. This meets the baseline for high schema coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Create') and resource ('ECM folder configuration in Webex'), making the purpose understandable. However, it doesn't differentiate from sibling tools like 'list_ecm_folder' or 'update_ecm_linked_folder' beyond the basic verb, missing explicit comparison.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'update_ecm_linked_folder' or 'unlink_ecm_linked_folder'. The description lacks context about prerequisites, such as needing an existing room or drive, or when creation is appropriate over other operations.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
create_membershipC
Create a membership in a Webex room.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| isModerator | No | Whether the person should be a moderator in the room. | |
| personEmail | Yes | The email of the person to be added to the room. | |
| personId | Yes | The ID of the person to be added to the room. | |
| roomId | Yes | The ID of the room to which the member is being added. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden but only states the basic action. It doesn't disclose behavioral traits like required permissions, whether duplicates are allowed, error conditions (e.g., invalid room/person), or what happens on success (e.g., confirmation details). For a mutation tool, this is a significant gap.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, efficient sentence with zero waste. It's front-loaded with the core action and resource, making it easy to parse quickly.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a mutation tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It doesn't explain what 'membership' entails (e.g., roles, permissions), success/failure behaviors, or return values. Given the complexity of creating a membership, more context is needed.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so parameters are well-documented in the schema. The description adds no additional parameter semantics beyond implying that 'room' and 'person' are involved. Baseline 3 is appropriate when the schema does the heavy lifting.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Create a membership') and resource ('in a Webex room'), making the purpose immediately understandable. It distinguishes from siblings like 'create_team_membership' by specifying the room context, though it doesn't explicitly contrast with 'update_membership' or 'delete_membership'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'update_membership' or 'create_team_membership'. It lacks context about prerequisites (e.g., room existence, user permissions) or typical scenarios for adding members to rooms.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
create_messageC
Create a message in a Webex room.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| attachments | No | An array of attachment objects. | |
| files | No | An array of file URLs to attach to the message. | |
| markdown | No | The message in markdown format. | |
| parentId | No | The ID of the parent message (if this is a reply). | |
| roomId | Yes | The ID of the room where the message will be sent. | |
| text | Yes | The plain text message to send. | |
| toPersonEmail | No | The email of the person to whom the message is directed. | |
| toPersonId | No | The ID of the person to whom the message is directed. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states this is a creation operation but doesn't mention required permissions, rate limits, whether the message is sent immediately, if it's editable after creation, or what happens on failure. For a mutation tool with zero annotation coverage, this leaves significant behavioral gaps.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, clear sentence that efficiently communicates the core functionality without unnecessary words. It's appropriately sized for a basic creation tool and gets straight to the point.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a mutation tool with 8 parameters, no annotations, and no output schema, the description is insufficient. It doesn't address behavioral aspects like permissions, side effects, or error handling, nor does it explain the relationship between parameters like 'roomId' and 'toPersonEmail' for direct messaging scenarios.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description adds no parameter information beyond what's already in the schema, which has 100% coverage with detailed descriptions for all 8 parameters. The baseline score of 3 reflects that the schema adequately documents parameters, though the description could have added context about parameter relationships (e.g., 'text' vs 'markdown' usage).
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Create') and resource ('a message in a Webex room'), making the purpose immediately understandable. However, it doesn't differentiate this tool from sibling tools like 'edit_message' or 'delete_message' beyond the basic verb, nor does it specify what type of message creation this involves (e.g., direct vs. room message).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'edit_message' or 'delete_message', nor does it mention any prerequisites or contextual constraints. It simply states what the tool does without indicating appropriate usage scenarios.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
create_personC
Create a new person in Webex.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| addresses | No | The addresses associated with the person. | |
| avatar | No | The avatar URL for the person. | |

| roles | No | The roles assigned to the person. | |
| siteUrls | No | The site URLs associated with the person. | |
| title | No | The title of the person. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden but only states the action without behavioral details. It doesn't disclose whether this requires admin permissions, what happens on duplicate emails, rate limits, or the response format (e.g., success confirmation or person ID). For a mutation tool with zero annotation coverage, this is inadequate.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, efficient sentence with zero waste, clearly front-loading the core action. It's appropriately sized for a tool with a straightforward purpose, though brevity contributes to gaps in other dimensions.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (17 parameters, mutation operation), lack of annotations, and no output schema, the description is insufficient. It doesn't cover behavioral aspects, usage context, or output expectations, leaving significant gaps for an AI agent to operate effectively.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so all 17 parameters are documented in the schema. The description adds no parameter-specific information beyond implying creation, which doesn't enhance the schema's details. Baseline 3 is appropriate as the schema handles parameter documentation.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Create') and resource ('new person in Webex'), making the purpose immediately understandable. However, it doesn't differentiate this tool from sibling tools like 'create_membership' or 'create_team' beyond the resource type, missing explicit sibling distinction.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'update_person' or 'list_people', nor does it mention prerequisites such as required permissions or organizational context. It's a basic statement without usage context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
create_roomC
Create a room in Webex.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| classificationId | Yes | The classification ID for the room. | |
| description | No | The description of the room. | |
| isAnnouncementOnly | No | Whether the room is announcement only. | |
| isLocked | No | Whether the room is locked. | |
| isPublic | No | Whether the room is public. | |
| teamId | Yes | The ID of the team to which the room belongs. | |
| title | Yes | The title of the room. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states 'Create a room' but does not mention required permissions, potential side effects (e.g., room visibility settings), rate limits, or what the response includes. This leaves significant gaps for a mutation tool with no structured safety or behavioral hints.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, direct sentence ('Create a room in Webex.') with no unnecessary words, making it highly concise and front-loaded. It efficiently conveys the core action without any structural waste.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity as a mutation operation with 7 parameters, no annotations, and no output schema, the description is insufficient. It lacks details on behavioral traits, usage context, and output expectations, making it incomplete for effective agent invocation despite the well-documented schema.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 100% description coverage, documenting all 7 parameters clearly. The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, such as explaining parameter interactions or default behaviors. With high schema coverage, the baseline score of 3 is appropriate, as the schema adequately handles parameter documentation without extra value from the description.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Create a room in Webex' clearly states the verb ('Create') and resource ('a room in Webex'), making the purpose specific and understandable. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like 'create_team' or 'update_room', which involve similar creation or modification actions in the same system, leaving room for ambiguity in sibling context.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as 'create_team' for team creation or 'update_room' for modifying existing rooms. It lacks explicit context, prerequisites, or exclusions, offering only a basic statement without usage instructions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
create_room_tabC
Create a tab in a specified room.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| contentUrl | Yes | The URL to be displayed in the tab. | |
| displayName | Yes | The name to be displayed for the tab. | |
| roomId | Yes | The ID of the room where the tab will be added. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states 'Create' which implies a write/mutation operation, but doesn't disclose any behavioral traits: no information about permissions required, whether the operation is idempotent, rate limits, what happens on failure, or what the response looks like. For a mutation tool with zero annotation coverage, this is a significant gap.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, clear sentence with zero wasted words. It's front-loaded with the core action and immediately specifies the context. Every word earns its place, making it highly efficient for an agent to parse.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given this is a mutation tool (create operation) with no annotations and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It doesn't explain what a successful creation returns, error conditions, or behavioral constraints. The agent lacks crucial information needed to properly invoke and handle responses from this tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema description coverage is 100%, with all three parameters well-documented in the schema itself. The description adds no additional parameter information beyond what's already in the schema (roomId, contentUrl, displayName). According to the scoring rules, when schema coverage is high (>80%), the baseline is 3 even with no param info in the description.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Create a tab') and the target resource ('in a specified room'), making the purpose immediately understandable. It distinguishes from siblings like 'create_room' or 'create_message' by specifying the tab creation context. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from 'update_room_tab' or explain what a 'tab' represents in this system.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It doesn't mention prerequisites (e.g., needing an existing room), when not to use it, or how it differs from similar tools like 'update_room_tab' or 'create_attachment_action'. The agent must infer usage from the name and context alone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

It states the action is 'Delete' which implies a destructive mutation, but doesn't disclose behavioral traits like whether deletion is permanent, requires specific permissions, has side effects (e.g., stopping notifications), or what happens on success/failure. This is a significant gap for a mutation tool with zero annotation coverage.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, efficient sentence with zero waste. It's front-loaded with the core action and resource, making it easy to parse. Every word earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given this is a destructive mutation tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It doesn't explain what happens after deletion (e.g., confirmation, error handling), behavioral constraints, or integration with sibling tools. For a tool that permanently removes a resource, more context is needed.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, with the single parameter 'webhookId' well-described in the schema. The description adds no additional parameter semantics beyond what's in the schema (e.g., format examples, validation rules). Baseline 3 is appropriate when the schema does the heavy lifting.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Delete') and target resource ('a webhook by its ID from the Webex Messaging API'), providing a specific verb+resource combination. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling deletion tools like delete_membership or delete_message, though the resource type (webhook) is inherently distinct.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It doesn't mention prerequisites (e.g., needing a webhook ID from list_webhooks or create_webhook), when deletion is appropriate, or what happens after deletion. The context is implied but not stated.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
edit_messageC
Edit a message in Webex.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| markdown | No | The new markdown for the message (optional). | |
| messageId | Yes | The unique identifier for the message to edit. | |
| roomId | Yes | The ID of the room where the message is located. | |
| text | Yes | The new text for the message. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. While 'Edit' implies a mutation operation, the description doesn't disclose any behavioral traits: it doesn't mention permissions required, whether edits are reversible, rate limits, what happens if markdown/text conflict, or response format. For a mutation tool with zero annotation coverage, this leaves critical behavioral aspects unspecified.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, clear sentence with zero wasted words. It's front-loaded with the essential action and resource. Every word earns its place, making it highly efficient while still conveying the core purpose. No structural issues or unnecessary elaboration are present.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a mutation tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description is insufficiently complete. It doesn't address behavioral aspects (permissions, side effects), provide usage context relative to siblings, or explain what the tool returns. The 100% schema coverage helps with parameters, but overall context for safe and effective use is lacking given the tool's complexity as an edit operation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents all four parameters thoroughly. The description adds no additional parameter semantics beyond what's in the schema. It doesn't explain relationships between parameters (e.g., text vs markdown, why both roomId and messageId are needed) or provide usage examples. With complete schema coverage, the baseline of 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Edit') and resource ('a message in Webex'), making the purpose immediately understandable. It distinguishes from siblings like 'create_message' and 'delete_message' by specifying the edit operation, though it doesn't explicitly contrast with them. The description is specific enough to identify the tool's function without being tautological.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It doesn't mention prerequisites (e.g., needing message ID and room ID), when editing is appropriate versus creating a new message, or any constraints (e.g., only own messages can be edited). With multiple sibling tools for message operations, this lack of contextual guidance is a significant gap.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_attachment_action_detailsC
Get details for an attachment action by ID.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | Yes | The unique identifier for the attachment action. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states the basic action ('Get details') without mentioning permissions required, rate limits, error handling, or what the output looks like (e.g., JSON structure). For a read operation with zero annotation coverage, this lacks critical behavioral context.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, efficient sentence that front-loads the core action ('Get details') without unnecessary words. Every part of the sentence earns its place by specifying the resource and key parameter, making it highly concise and well-structured for quick understanding.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity of a read operation with no annotations and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It fails to explain what 'details' entail, potential error cases, or authentication needs. While the schema covers the single parameter, the overall context for the agent to use the tool effectively is lacking, especially compared to richer sibling tools.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema description coverage is 100%, with the 'id' parameter fully documented in the schema. The description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema provides (e.g., it doesn't clarify ID format or examples). Since the schema does the heavy lifting, the baseline score of 3 is appropriate, as the description doesn't compensate but also doesn't detract.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb ('Get') and resource ('details for an attachment action by ID'), making the purpose understandable. It distinguishes from siblings like 'create_attachment_action' by focusing on retrieval rather than creation. However, it doesn't specify what 'details' include, which could help differentiate it further from other 'get_' tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. While the description implies it's for retrieving attachment action details by ID, it doesn't mention prerequisites (e.g., needing a valid ID) or when to choose this over other 'get_' tools like 'get_message_details'. The absence of usage context leaves the agent without explicit direction.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_ecm_folder_detailsB
Get details for a room ECM folder with the specified folder ID.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | Yes | The unique identifier for the folder. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden but offers minimal behavioral insight. It indicates this is a read operation ('Get details'), but doesn't disclose authentication requirements, rate limits, error conditions, or what 'details' include. For a tool with zero annotation coverage, this leaves significant gaps in understanding its behavior.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, efficient sentence that immediately conveys the core purpose. There's no wasted language or unnecessary elaboration. It's appropriately sized for a simple retrieval tool with one parameter.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple read operation with 100% schema coverage but no annotations or output schema, the description is minimally adequate. It identifies the resource and required parameter but lacks details about return values, error handling, or operational constraints. The agent would need to infer much from context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, with the single parameter 'id' clearly documented in the schema. The description adds no additional parameter semantics beyond what the schema provides, merely restating that it requires 'the specified folder ID.' Baseline 3 is appropriate when schema does the heavy lifting.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Get details') and resource ('room ECM folder'), specifying it requires a folder ID. It distinguishes from sibling 'list_ecm_folder' which lists folders rather than getting details for a specific one. However, it doesn't explicitly contrast with other get_* tools that retrieve different resource types.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It doesn't mention when to choose this over other get_* tools for different resources, nor does it specify prerequisites like needing a valid folder ID from list_ecm_folder. Usage context is implied but not stated.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_event_detailsB
Get details for a specific event by event ID.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| eventId | Yes | The unique identifier for the event. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It states the tool retrieves details but doesn't disclose behavioral traits such as authentication requirements, rate limits, error handling, or what details are included in the response. This is a significant gap for a tool with no annotation coverage.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, front-loaded sentence with zero waste—it directly states the tool's purpose without unnecessary words. Every part of the sentence earns its place by conveying essential information efficiently.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's low complexity (one parameter, no output schema, no annotations), the description is minimally adequate but incomplete. It covers the basic purpose but lacks details on behavior, response format, or error cases, which are important for a read operation with no structured output schema.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, with the parameter 'eventId' documented as 'The unique identifier for the event.' The description adds no additional meaning beyond this, as it only restates the need for an event ID. Baseline score of 3 is appropriate since the schema adequately covers the parameter.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb ('Get details') and resource ('specific event'), making the purpose understandable. It distinguishes from siblings like 'list_events' by specifying retrieval of a single event by ID, though it doesn't explicitly contrast with other 'get_*_details' tools (e.g., 'get_room_details').
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Usage is implied by the description's focus on a 'specific event by event ID', suggesting it should be used when you have an event ID rather than listing events. However, no explicit guidance on when to use this vs. alternatives like 'list_events' or other 'get_*_details' tools is provided, leaving some ambiguity.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_membership_detailsC
Get details for a membership by ID.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| membershipId | Yes | The unique identifier for the membership. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It states this is a 'Get' operation but doesn't clarify whether it's read-only, requires authentication, has rate limits, or what happens if the membership ID is invalid. The description is minimal and leaves critical behavioral aspects unspecified.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, efficient sentence with no wasted words. It's appropriately sized for a simple lookup tool and front-loads the essential information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a read operation with no annotations and no output schema, the description is insufficient. It doesn't explain what details are returned, potential error conditions, or how this tool fits within the broader membership management context alongside siblings like 'update_membership' and 'delete_membership'.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100% with one parameter fully documented, so the baseline is 3. The description adds no additional meaning beyond what's in the schema (e.g., it doesn't explain format constraints or provide examples for the membershipId).
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Get' and resource 'details for a membership by ID', making the purpose understandable. It doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'list_memberships' or 'get_team_membership_details', but the specificity of 'by ID' provides some distinction.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'list_memberships' for multiple memberships or 'get_team_membership_details' for team-specific memberships. It lacks any context about prerequisites, typical use cases, or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_message_detailsC
Get details of a message by its ID.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| messageId | Yes | The unique identifier for the message. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the lack of annotations and output schema, the description is incomplete. It doesn't address behavioral aspects like safety, permissions, or return format, which are crucial for a tool that retrieves data. While concise, it fails to provide enough context for an agent to use it confidently without additional inference.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description adds no parameter semantics beyond the input schema, which has 100% coverage for the single parameter 'messageId'. Since the schema already fully describes the parameter, the baseline score of 3 is appropriate—the description doesn't compensate but doesn't need to given the high schema coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb ('Get details') and resource ('of a message'), making the purpose specific and understandable. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'get_message_details' vs 'get_event_details' or 'list_messages', which share similar 'get' patterns but target different resources or scopes.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives.

Given the tool's low complexity (one required parameter, no nested objects) and high schema coverage, the description is minimally adequate. However, with no annotations and no output schema, it lacks details on behavioral aspects and return values, which are important for a read operation. It meets basic requirements but has clear gaps in completeness.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 100% description coverage, with the 'id' parameter clearly documented in the schema. The description adds no additional meaning or context beyond what the schema provides, such as examples of valid IDs or where to obtain them. With high schema coverage, the baseline score of 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb ('Get details') and resource ('for a Room Tab in Webex'), making the purpose specific and understandable. It distinguishes from siblings like 'list_room_tabs' (which lists multiple tabs) and 'update_room_tab' (which modifies a tab), though it doesn't explicitly mention these distinctions in the description itself.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It doesn't mention prerequisites (e.g., needing a specific Room Tab ID), exclusions, or comparisons to sibling tools like 'list_room_tabs' or 'get_room_details', leaving usage context implied at best.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_team_detailsC
Get details for a team by ID.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| description | No | The team's description. | |
| teamId | Yes | The unique identifier for the team. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states it's a read operation ('Get'), implying it's likely safe and non-destructive, but doesn't cover aspects like authentication needs, rate limits, error conditions, or what details are returned (e.g., team name, members, settings). This leaves significant gaps for a tool with no annotation support.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, efficient sentence with zero waste—it directly states the tool's purpose without unnecessary words or fluff, making it easy to parse and front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no annotations and no output schema, the description is incomplete for a read tool. It doesn't explain what details are returned (e.g., structured data like team attributes), potential errors, or how it differs from similar tools, leaving the agent with insufficient context to use it effectively beyond basic parameter input.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema fully documents both parameters (teamId and description). The description adds no additional meaning beyond implying 'teamId' is required, which is already clear from the schema. This meets the baseline of 3 when the schema does the heavy lifting.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb ('Get') and resource ('details for a team by ID'), making the purpose specific and understandable. However, it doesn't differentiate from sibling tools like 'list_teams' or 'get_team_membership_details', which would require explicit comparison to score a 5.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. For example, it doesn't mention using 'list_teams' for multiple teams or 'get_team_membership_details' for membership info, leaving the agent to infer usage from context alone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_team_membership_detailsC
Get details for a team membership by ID.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| membershipId | Yes | The unique identifier for the team membership. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states this is a 'Get' operation, implying it's likely read-only, but doesn't confirm this or describe any other behavioral traits like error handling, rate limits, authentication needs, or what the returned details include. For a tool with no annotation coverage, this is a significant gap.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, efficient sentence that directly states the tool's purpose without any wasted words. It's appropriately sized and front-loaded, making it easy to understand at a glance.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity of a tool that retrieves details (likely involving structured data) and the lack of both annotations and an output schema, the description is insufficient. It doesn't explain what details are returned, potential error cases, or behavioral aspects, leaving the agent with incomplete information for proper invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 100% description coverage, with the parameter 'membershipId' clearly documented as 'The unique identifier for the team membership.' The description adds no additional meaning beyond this, so it meets the baseline score of 3 where the schema does the heavy lifting.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb ('Get') and resource ('details for a team membership by ID'), making the purpose specific and understandable. However, it doesn't explicitly distinguish this tool from its sibling 'get_membership_details', which appears to serve a similar function, leaving some ambiguity about when to use one over the other.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'get_membership_details' or 'list_team_memberships'. It lacks context about prerequisites, such as needing a membership ID, and doesn't mention any exclusions or specific scenarios where this tool is preferred.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_webhook_detailsC
Get details of a webhook by its ID.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| webhookId | Yes | The unique identifier for the webhook. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states the tool retrieves details but doesn't cover aspects like required permissions, error handling (e.g., if the webhook ID is invalid), rate limits, or response format. This leaves significant gaps for a tool that likely involves data access.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, direct sentence with zero wasted words, front-loading the core action and resource. It efficiently communicates the essential information without unnecessary elaboration, making it highly concise and well-structured.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description is insufficient. It lacks details on behavioral traits (e.g., permissions, errors), output format, or usage context. While the purpose is clear, the absence of structured data means the description should compensate more to ensure the agent can invoke it correctly, which it does not.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, with the parameter 'webhookId' documented as 'The unique identifier for the webhook.' The description adds no additional meaning beyond this, such as format examples or constraints. Given the high schema coverage, the baseline score of 3 is appropriate, as the schema adequately handles parameter semantics.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Get details') and resource ('webhook by its ID'), making the purpose unambiguous. It distinguishes from siblings like 'list_webhooks' by specifying retrieval of a single webhook's details rather than listing multiple. However, it doesn't explicitly contrast with other 'get_*_details' tools (e.g., 'get_room_details'), though the resource specificity is inherent.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. While the purpose implies usage when details of a specific webhook are needed, there's no mention of prerequisites (e.g., needing the webhook ID), exclusions, or comparisons to similar tools like 'list_webhooks' for broader queries.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_direct_messagesC
List all messages in a 1:1 room.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| parentId | Yes | The parent ID to filter messages. | |
| personEmail | Yes | The person email to filter messages in a 1:1 room. | |
| personId | Yes | The person ID to filter messages in a 1:1 room. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It states the action ('List all messages') but lacks behavioral details such as pagination, rate limits, authentication requirements, or what 'all' entails (e.g., time range, limit). This is a significant gap for a tool with no annotation coverage.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, efficient sentence with zero waste. It's front-loaded with the core action and context, making it easy to parse quickly without unnecessary elaboration.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no annotations and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It lacks behavioral context (e.g., how results are returned, limits) and doesn't compensate for the missing structured data. For a tool with three required parameters and list functionality, more detail is needed to guide effective use.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so parameters are fully documented in the schema. The description adds no additional meaning beyond implying filtering for '1:1 room', which aligns with schema parameters but doesn't enhance understanding. Baseline 3 is appropriate when schema does the heavy lifting.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb ('List') and resource ('messages in a 1:1 room'), making the purpose unambiguous. However, it doesn't explicitly distinguish this tool from its sibling 'list_messages', which might handle different types of rooms or have different filtering capabilities, preventing a perfect score.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'list_messages' or other filtering tools. It mentions '1:1 room' context but doesn't specify prerequisites, exclusions, or comparative use cases with siblings, leaving the agent to infer usage.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (4 parameters, no annotations, no output schema), the description is incomplete. It lacks details on behavioral traits (e.g., pagination, auth), output format, and usage context versus siblings. While concise, it doesn't provide enough context for an agent to confidently invoke the tool without relying heavily on the schema and external knowledge.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema fully documents all 4 parameters (roomId, max, personEmail, personId). The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, such as explaining parameter interactions (e.g., filtering by email vs. ID) or default behaviors. Baseline 3 is appropriate when schema does the heavy lifting.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb ('List') and resource ('memberships in a Webex room'), making the purpose immediately understandable. It distinguishes itself from siblings like 'get_membership_details' (singular) and 'list_team_memberships' (different resource). However, it doesn't specify the scope (e.g., all memberships vs. filtered) or explicitly contrast with 'list_people' (which might overlap in listing persons).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It doesn't mention siblings like 'list_team_memberships' (for team contexts) or 'get_membership_details' (for single membership details), nor does it indicate prerequisites (e.g., needing roomId).

| roomId | Yes | The ID of the room to list messages from. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden but offers minimal behavioral insight. It doesn't disclose whether this is a read-only operation (implied by 'List'), pagination behavior, rate limits, authentication requirements, or what the response format looks like. 'List messages' suggests a retrieval operation, but no details about ordering, limits, or error conditions are provided.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, clear sentence with zero wasted words. It's front-loaded with the core purpose and efficiently communicates the essential function. Every word earns its place in this minimal but complete statement of function.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a tool with 6 parameters, no annotations, and no output schema, the description is inadequate. It doesn't address what the tool returns, how results are structured, pagination behavior, or error handling. While the schema documents parameters well, the overall context for using this tool effectively is missing.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 100% description coverage, so parameters are well-documented in the schema itself. The description adds no additional parameter semantics beyond what's in the schema - it doesn't explain parameter relationships, constraints, or usage patterns. Baseline 3 is appropriate when schema does the heavy lifting.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb ('List') and resource ('messages in a Webex room'), making the purpose immediately understandable. However, it doesn't differentiate from sibling tools like 'list_direct_messages' or 'get_message_details', which would require specifying this is for room messages specifically (though implied by 'roomId' parameter).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'list_direct_messages' or 'get_message_details'. It doesn't mention prerequisites (like needing room access) or typical use cases. The only implied context is having a roomId, but this isn't explicitly stated.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'list_direct_messages' or 'list_teams', nor does it mention prerequisites or context for usage. It simply states what the tool does without indicating appropriate scenarios.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_room_tabsC
List room tabs for a specified room in Webex.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| roomId | Yes | The ID of the room for which to list room tabs. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It mentions listing tabs but fails to describe key traits like pagination, rate limits, authentication requirements, error handling, or output format (e.g., list structure). This leaves significant gaps for an agent to understand operational behavior.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, efficient sentence that directly states the tool's function without unnecessary words. It is front-loaded with the core action and resource, making it easy to parse and understand quickly.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the lack of annotations and output schema, the description is incomplete. It does not cover behavioral aspects like response format, error cases, or usage context, which are critical for a list operation. This leaves the agent with insufficient information to effectively use the tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, with the single parameter 'roomId' well-documented in the schema. The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, such as format examples or constraints, but the high coverage justifies a baseline score of 3 as adequate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('List') and resource ('room tabs for a specified room in Webex'), making the purpose understandable. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'get_room_tab_details' (which retrieves details of a specific tab) or 'list_rooms' (which lists rooms rather than tabs), missing full sibling distinction.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as 'get_room_tab_details' for specific tab information or 'list_rooms' for room listings. It lacks context about prerequisites, exclusions, or typical use cases, offering only basic functional intent.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_team_membershipsC
List team memberships for a given team in Webex.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| max | No | The maximum number of team memberships to return. | |
| teamId | Yes | The ID of the team to list memberships for. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It states it's a list operation but doesn't mention whether it's paginated, rate-limited, requires specific permissions, or what format the output takes. For a tool with no annotation coverage, this leaves significant behavioral gaps.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, efficient sentence that states the core purpose without unnecessary words. It's appropriately sized and front-loaded, with zero wasted text earning its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no annotations and no output schema, the description is incomplete for a tool that likely returns a list of memberships. It doesn't explain what information is included in the results, how results are structured, or any behavioral aspects like pagination. For a list operation with multiple sibling tools, more context is needed.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents both parameters ('teamId' and 'max') thoroughly. The description doesn't add any additional meaning beyond what's in the schema, such as parameter interactions or constraints. Baseline 3 is appropriate when the schema does the heavy lifting.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb ('List') and resource ('team memberships for a given team in Webex'), making the purpose specific and understandable. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'list_memberships' or 'get_team_membership_details', which could cause confusion about when to use each.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. With siblings like 'list_memberships' and 'get_team_membership_details' available, there's no indication of whether this tool is for bulk listing, filtered results, or other specific contexts. The agent must infer usage from the name alone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_teamsC
List teams for the authenticated user in Webex.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| max | No | The maximum number of teams to return. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden but only states it lists teams without disclosing behavioral traits like pagination, rate limits, authentication requirements, or response format. This leaves significant gaps for a tool that likely returns a list of data.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no annotations, no output schema, and a simple parameter, the description is incomplete. It lacks details on behavioral aspects like response structure, error handling, or usage context, which are essential for effective tool invocation by an AI agent.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so the input schema fully documents the 'max' parameter. The description adds no additional parameter semantics beyond what the schema provides, resulting in a baseline score of 3.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('List') and resource ('teams for the authenticated user in Webex'), making the purpose evident. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like 'list_team_memberships' or 'get_team_details', which could cause confusion in selection.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as 'list_team_memberships' or 'get_team_details'. The description lacks context about prerequisites or exclusions, leaving the agent to infer usage based on tool names alone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_webhooksB
List all webhooks for the organization.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| max | No | Limit the maximum number of webhooks in the response. | |
| ownedBy | No | Limit the result list to organization-wide webhooks. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states the tool lists webhooks but doesn't describe key behaviors such as pagination, rate limits, authentication requirements, or what happens if no webhooks exist. For a read operation with zero annotation coverage, this leaves significant gaps in understanding how the tool behaves.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, efficient sentence that directly states the tool's purpose without unnecessary words. It's front-loaded with the core action and resource, making it easy to parse. Every part of the sentence earns its place by conveying essential information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's low complexity (a simple list operation), 100% schema coverage, and no output schema, the description is minimally adequate. However, with no annotations and missing behavioral details (e.g., pagination, error handling), it doesn't fully prepare an agent for all usage scenarios. It meets basic needs but lacks depth for robust interaction.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents both parameters ('max' and 'ownedBy') with clear descriptions. The description adds no additional meaning beyond implying an organizational scope, which is partially covered by the 'ownedBy' enum. Baseline 3 is appropriate as the schema does the heavy lifting, but the description doesn't compensate with extra context.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('List') and resource ('webhooks for the organization'), making the purpose immediately understandable. It distinguishes from siblings like 'get_webhook_details' (which retrieves a single webhook) by indicating it returns all webhooks. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from other list tools (e.g., 'list_rooms', 'list_people'), which follow a similar pattern.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It doesn't mention sibling tools like 'get_webhook_details' for retrieving a specific webhook or 'create_webhook' for creating new ones, nor does it specify prerequisites or contexts for listing webhooks. Usage is implied by the name but not explicitly stated.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
unlink_ecm_linked_folderB
Unlink an ECM linked folder from a space in Webex.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | Yes | The unique identifier for the folder to disassociate from the space. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden but only states the action without disclosing behavioral traits like permissions required, whether the operation is reversible, effects on the space or folder, or error handling. This is inadequate for a mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, clear sentence with no wasted words, making it easy to parse and front-loaded with the core action. It efficiently conveys the essential purpose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a mutation tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It lacks details on behavior, side effects, return values, and error cases, leaving significant gaps for an AI agent to understand the tool's full context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description does not add parameter details beyond the schema, but with 100% schema description coverage for the single parameter 'id', the schema fully documents it. The baseline is 3, but since there's only one parameter and it's well-covered, a score of 4 reflects minimal need for additional semantics.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Unlink') and the resource ('an ECM linked folder from a space in Webex'), making the purpose understandable. It distinguishes from siblings like 'update_ecm_linked_folder' by focusing on disassociation rather than modification, though it could be more explicit about the distinction.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'delete_room' or 'update_ecm_linked_folder', nor does it mention prerequisites such as needing an existing linked folder. The description lacks context for decision-making.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
update_ecm_linked_folderC

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. While 'Update' implies a mutation operation, the description doesn't address important behavioral aspects like required permissions, whether changes are reversible, error conditions, or what happens to existing folder properties not mentioned in the update.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise - a single sentence with no wasted words. It's front-loaded with the essential information (update action, resource, context) and contains no unnecessary elaboration.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a mutation tool with 7 parameters, no annotations, and no output schema, the description is inadequate. It doesn't address the mutation's impact, success/failure conditions, or return values. The agent would need to guess about important behavioral aspects when using this tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema description coverage is 100%, so all parameters are documented in the schema. The description doesn't add any meaningful parameter semantics beyond what's already in the schema. It doesn't explain relationships between parameters, provide examples, or clarify edge cases.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Update') and resource ('ECM linked folder in Webex'), providing a specific verb+resource combination. However, it doesn't differentiate this tool from sibling update tools like update_room or update_team, which also update resources in Webex.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

'Update' implies mutation, but it doesn't specify whether this requires admin permissions, what happens to existing settings not mentioned, or if changes are reversible. It lacks critical context about authentication needs, rate limits, or error conditions.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, efficient sentence with zero wasted words. It's appropriately sized for a simple update operation and front-loads the essential information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a mutation tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description is insufficient. It doesn't explain what the tool returns, error conditions, or behavioral nuances. Given the complexity of team membership updates and lack of structured metadata, more contextual information is needed.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema fully documents both parameters (membershipId and isModerator). The description adds no additional parameter information beyond what's already in the schema, meeting the baseline expectation when schema coverage is high.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Update') and resource ('team membership in Webex'), providing a specific verb+resource combination. However, it doesn't distinguish this tool from sibling tools like 'update_membership' or 'update_team', which have similar naming patterns and could cause confusion.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'update_membership' or 'create_team_membership'. There's no mention of prerequisites, context, or exclusions, leaving the agent without usage direction.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

| webhookId | Yes | The unique identifier for the webhook. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states the tool updates a webhook, implying a mutation operation, but lacks details on permissions required, whether changes are reversible, rate limits, error conditions, or what the response looks like (no output schema). This leaves significant gaps for an agent to understand the tool's behavior.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, efficient sentence that directly states the tool's purpose without unnecessary words. It is front-loaded with the core action and resource, making it easy to parse quickly.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity of a mutation tool with 5 required parameters, no annotations, and no output schema, the description is insufficient. It lacks critical context such as behavioral traits (e.g., side effects, error handling), usage guidelines, and output details, leaving the agent with incomplete information for proper tool invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, with all 5 parameters clearly documented in the schema (e.g., 'webhookId' as the unique identifier, 'status' as the webhook status). The description adds no additional parameter semantics beyond what the schema provides, so it meets the baseline score of 3 for high schema coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Update') and resource ('a webhook in Webex'), making the purpose immediately understandable. It distinguishes from siblings like 'create_webhook' and 'delete_webhook' by specifying the update operation, though it doesn't explicitly contrast with other update tools (e.g., 'update_room', 'update_person').
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description doesn't mention prerequisites (e.g., needing an existing webhook ID), contrast with 'create_webhook' or 'delete_webhook', or specify typical use cases (e.g., modifying webhook settings after creation).
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Scored across 51 tools
Most tools have clearly distinct purposes targeting specific Webex resources (rooms, messages, teams, memberships, webhooks, ECM folders). There is some potential overlap between list_direct_messages and list_messages, and between various get_details tools, but descriptions clarify the distinctions. The domain is well-organized with minimal ambiguity.
Tool names follow a highly consistent verb_noun pattern throughout (create_message, delete_room, get_details, list_rooms, update_person). All tools use snake_case with clear, predictable naming conventions. The pattern is maintained across all 51 tools without deviation.
With 51 tools, this server has far too many tools for typical agent use. While Webex is a comprehensive platform, this tool count creates cognitive overload and likely includes many specialized operations that won't be frequently needed. A more focused subset would be more appropriate for most workflows.
The tool surface provides complete CRUD/lifecycle coverage for all major Webex domains: rooms, messages, teams, memberships, people, webhooks, and ECM folders. Every resource type has create, get, list, update, and delete operations where applicable. No obvious gaps exist for the Webex messaging and collaboration domain.
