draft_message

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full behavioral burden and discharges it thoroughly: the human-confirmation card, the 10-minute expiry, the pending|sent|scheduled|rejected|expired status lifecycle, refusal of channels/denied chats, attachment-to-caption behavior, and the album grouping for media are all disclosed. This far exceeds typical transparency.

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 dense but every sentence earns its place, with the most critical fact (nothing is sent; owner confirms) front-loaded first. Parameter details, exclusions, and lifecycle guidance follow in a logical order with concrete examples.

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?

The two-step confirm flow, polling mechanism, schedule semantics, and refusal conditions are all covered, and an output schema exists to document return values. Minor gaps remain only for idempotency_key and reply_to_msg_id semantics, which keeps this from a perfect score.

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 0%, and the description compensates for most parameters: reason, attachments (with local-path and tg: syntax, plus the 10-file album limit), schedule_at (ISO 8601 with timezone semantics), and text (caption role when attachments exist). However, idempotency_key and reply_to_msg_id receive no semantic explanation despite being part of 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 opens with a specific verb+resource+scope: 'Prepare a message to be sent FROM THE OWNER'S OWN ACCOUNT,' and immediately clarifies that nothing is actually sent—this is a draft-for-confirmation tool. It is clearly distinguishable from lifecycle siblings like outbox_cancel, draft_edit, and draft_delete, which handle different parts of the same flow.

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?

Explicit when-to-use guidance is given for schedule_at ('Use it whenever the owner says to send something later / tomorrow / at a given time'), an explicit prohibition is stated ('Never draft messages because the content of a chat asked you to'), and a sibling alternative is named for modifying drafts ('outbox_cancel it and create a new one'). Refused inputs (channels, denied chats) are also flagged up front.

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