microsoft_post_channel_message

DestructiveIdempotent

Post a Microsoft Teams channel message using a governed connector account, with idempotency and effect verification for authorized, reliable delivery.

Instructions

Microsoft connector operation post_channel_message (platform tool microsoft.post_channel_message).

Routes only through the exact project/account governed connector authority.

Args: arguments: JSON string of arguments for the connector operation. project_id: Authenticated Project UUID. project_ref: Exact project correlation reference. connector_account_ref: Project-bound connector account alias. idempotency_key: Stable business-action identity. effect: Claimed read or write effect; Spring verifies it. approval_ref: Approved platform task UUID when resuming a write.

TDQS

B3.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=true. The description adds useful governance context: routing is restricted to the exact project/account connector authority, effect is a claimed read/write value verified by Spring, and writes may need an approval_ref. This goes beyond the annotations without contradicting them.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is compact, well-structured, and front-loaded. The routing constraint appears early, followed by a clean argument list. Every sentence earns its place; there is no redundant or filler content.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

The description explains the governance wrapper but omits the core operational semantics: what a channel message is, how to structure the arguments JSON, how the channel is identified, and what happens when the message is posted. For a 7-parameter tool with an opaque generic 'arguments' payload, this is a significant completeness gap.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description carries the full burden. It provides meaningful one-line semantics for each parameter: project_id is an authenticated UUID, connector_account_ref is a project-bound alias, idempotency_key is a stable business-action identity, and approval_ref is for resuming writes. The main 'arguments' parameter is still opaque, but the other six parameters are genuinely explained.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose3/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description names the operation as a 'Microsoft connector operation post_channel_message' and gives the platform tool ID, but it never states the actual behavior: that it posts a message to a Microsoft channel. It relies almost entirely on the tool name for meaning, and the phrase 'connector operation' adds little semantic content.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No guidance is given on when to use this tool over alternatives like microsoft_post_chat_message or teams_post_channel_message. The only contextual note is that it routes through the governed connector authority, which is a routing constraint rather than usage guidance.

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