create_handover_provider

Creates a handover provider in Cognigy.AI to escalate conversations to live agents, using a service from list_handover_services. Set dryRun=false to create it.

Instructions

Creates a new Cognigy.AI handover provider for live agent escalation, based on one of the services from list_handover_services. The provider starts with the service's default properties; change them with update_handover_provider. MUTATING: Set dryRun=false to create.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
nameYesName for the handover provider
typeYesHandover service name as returned by list_handover_services (e.g., 'liveAgent', 'salesforce', 'genesysCloud', 'chatwoot')
dryRunNoIf true (default), validates without creating. Set to false to actually create.
projectIdYesThe project ID to create the handover provider in

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations declare readOnlyHint=false, openWorldHint=true, idempotentHint=false, destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is partly covered. The description adds real behavioral context beyond that: the call is MUTATING, it is a no-op unless dryRun=false, and the created provider inherits the service's default properties rather than requiring full configuration.

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 what the tool creates and the prerequisite sibling, followed by follow-up guidance and the mutation warning. No filler; the dryRun restatement is a safety-critical confirmation rather than padding.

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

Completeness4/5

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

For a create tool with full annotations and 100% schema coverage, the description covers prerequisites, mutation semantics, and follow-up workflow. It does not mention what is returned (the created provider object), but with no output schema that is a minor omission rather than a blocker.

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 description coverage is 100%, so all four parameters (including dryRun's default-validates semantics and type's example values) are already documented. The description reinforces type's provenance and the default-properties behavior but adds no new syntax or format detail, so baseline 3 applies.

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?

States a specific verb (Creates), resource (handover provider), platform (Cognigy.AI) and purpose (live agent escalation). It also anchors the tool to a sibling (list_handover_services) as the source of the service type, so an agent can separate it from list_handover_providers/get_handover_provider.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicitly routes the agent: pick the service from list_handover_services, then use this tool; use update_handover_provider to change the resulting defaults. It also states the condition under which the call actually mutates (dryRun=false), which is exactly the guidance needed before invoking.

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