slack_workflows_step_failed

DestructiveIdempotent

Notify Slack that a workflow step has failed, halting the workflow and surfacing the error for corrective action.

Instructions

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

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.

C2.9/5.0

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already signal destructive and non-read-only behavior. The description adds useful context beyond annotations, including routing through a governed connector authority, Spring verifying the claimed effect, and approval_ref being used when resuming a write. However, it does not describe the actual side effects or external consequences of marking a step failed.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

The description is compact and well-structured with a clean Args block. The opening line is slightly redundant because it repeats the tool name and platform path, but the rest of the description earns its place by documenting all parameters.

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?

Although all wrapper parameters are explained, the description omits the core semantics of the Slack operation itself and does not specify what should go inside the arguments JSON string. An agent cannot tell what the Slack-specific payload should contain or what 'step failed' means in the target system, so the description is incomplete for confident invocation.

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

Parameters5/5

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

Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description fully compensates by explaining every parameter: arguments as a JSON string, project_id as an authenticated UUID, idempotency_key as a stable business-action identity, and approval_ref for resuming writes. This is exactly the kind of semantic enrichment the schema lacks.

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 labels the tool as 'Slack connector operation workflows_step_failed' and gives the platform name, but it never states what the operation actually does, such as marking a Slack workflow step as failed. This largely restates the tool name rather than providing a functional purpose.

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 about when to use this tool versus alternatives. The routing constraint about governed connector authority is a deployment detail, not usage guidance, and the closely related sibling slack_workflows_step_completed is never mentioned.

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