slack_archive_channel

DestructiveIdempotent

Archive a Slack channel through your project's connected Slack account to reduce clutter and prevent new posts in inactive conversations.

Instructions

Slack connector operation archive_channel (platform tool slack.archive_channel).

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

C2.4/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already disclose destructiveHint=true and readOnlyHint=false, so the bar for additional behavioral context is met only if the description enriches that. It adds only a generic governance/routing statement and an 'effect' claim placeholder; it does not explain that archiving makes a channel inactive, affects membership, or what destructive consequences follow. No contradiction with annotations, but little value beyond them.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

The Args block is reasonably structured and compact, but the opening sentence wastes space restating the tool name and platform tool path. A clear one-sentence behavioral summary would be better front-loaded; the current structure leads with boilerplate rather than purpose.

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?

For a destructive, seven-parameter connector wrapper with zero schema coverage, the description is incomplete: it does not state what `arguments` should contain, what the operation returns (though an output schema exists), or what the real-world effect on Slack is. An agent cannot confidently construct a valid call without external knowledge of the Slack archive_channel API.

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 burden, and it does provide meaningful one-line semantics for all seven parameters: JSON arguments, UUID project id, correlation reference, account alias, idempotency key, claimed effect, and approval ref. However, the critical 'arguments' parameter remains an opaque JSON string with no detail about the actual Slack channel identifier or archive-specific payload, which prevents fully correct invocation.

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

Purpose2/5

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

The description only restates the tool name as 'Slack connector operation archive_channel' and gives the platform tool identifier, without ever stating what archiving a channel does or what the operation's effect is. The name carries the only real semantic weight, so an agent gets no explicit statement of purpose beyond the identifier.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as slack_unarchive_channel or other Slack channel operations. The description only mentions routing constraints, not selection criteria or prerequisites, so the agent gets no decision support.

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