hey_unset_aside

Idempotent

Remove an email from Set Aside, returning it to the Imbox or its original location using its posting_id. Reverse it by setting the thread aside again with its topic_id.

Instructions

Remove an email from Set Aside, moving it back to the Imbox or its original location. Returns {success, error?}. Requires the posting_id from hey_list_set_aside. Reversible by calling hey_set_aside again with the thread's topic_id.

A4.3/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations cover the safety profile (readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true), and the description adds genuinely useful context beyond them: the return shape {success, error?} and the fact that the action is reversible via hey_set_aside. It does not mention failure modes or what happens if the posting_id is absent, which keeps it from a 5.

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?

Three short sentences, front-loaded with the action and effect, followed by return shape and prerequisite. No filler and every sentence carries operational information.

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

Completeness5/5

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

For a one-parameter tool with no output schema, the description covers the effect, the return shape, the parameter source, and reversibility. An agent has everything needed to invoke it correctly.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema coverage is 100% and the single parameter's description already states it comes from hey_list_set_aside, so the description largely repeats rather than extends the schema. Baseline 3 applies when the schema does the heavy lifting.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description names a specific verb (Remove) and resource (an email from Set Aside), and states the resulting state change (moved back to the Imbox or original location). It is clearly distinguishable from the sibling hey_set_aside, which performs the inverse operation.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

It states the prerequisite (requires posting_id from hey_list_set_aside) and names the alternative operation that reverses it (hey_set_aside with topic_id). It does not spell out a when-not-to-use condition, but the context is unambiguous for a single-purpose unsave tool.

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