redrive_mailbox_webhook_delivery

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

No annotations are present, so the description carries full burden. It discloses the core mutation behavior (re-queuing a failed delivery) but omits side effects, permissions, or idempotency details. Adequate for a simple mutation but lacks depth.

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?

Extremely concise: two sentences, 13 words, front-loaded with action. No redundant information; 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?

Covers purpose, usage context, and key parameter source. Lacks details on output (no output schema) and prerequisites (e.g., webhook must exist). Minor gaps for a simple 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 coverage is 100%, providing baseline. The description adds context for the 'delivery_id' parameter by noting its source ('from list_mailbox_webhook_deliveries'), adding value beyond the schema.

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 uses specific verbs ('Re-queue') and resources ('dead-lettered webhook delivery'), clearly distinguishing it from sibling tools like list_mailbox_webhook_deliveries or register_mailbox_webhook.

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?

Explicitly states to use after fixing the consumer endpoint, providing clear context. Does not list exclusions or alternatives, but the sibling set implies related list tools for finding deliveries.

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