slack_edit_canvas

DestructiveIdempotent

Update a Slack canvas through your project's governed Slack connector. Pass the canvas edit arguments to modify content while maintaining connector authority, idempotency, and approval control.

Instructions

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

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

D1.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already signal destructive and read-write behavior, and the description adds only generic wrapper context such as idempotency_key, approval_ref for writes, and effect verification. It never discloses what edit_canvas changes, overwrites, or otherwise does to the target canvas, so the key behavioral burden is left uncovered.

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 bulleted Args list is compact and readable, and the structure is clear. However, the opening lines repeat the tool name and platform identifier, and the routing statement adds little operational substance, so the brevity is not paired with meaningful 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?

For a mutating connector operation with opaque `arguments` and no required schema-level parameters, the description is incomplete. It lacks the actual purpose, the expected payload structure for the connector operation, destructive side effects, and usage context. An agent would not be able to invoke this tool correctly based on the description alone.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It gives brief meanings for the wrapper parameters, but the critical `arguments` field is described only as "JSON string of arguments for the connector operation," which is tautological and gives the agent no idea what fields are needed to edit a canvas.

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 identifies the tool as "Slack connector operation edit_canvas" and gives the platform tool name, but it never states what editing a Slack canvas actually does or what resource is affected. This is close to restating the name plus routing context, and it does not help distinguish edit_canvas from slack_create_canvas or slack_delete_canvas.

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

Usage Guidelines1/5

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. The sentence about routing through governed connector authority is a constraint, not usage guidance, and no mention is made of when edit_canvas is preferred over other canvas-related Slack tools.

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