create_webex_webhook

Registers a webhook to receive real-time Webex events like messages, rooms, memberships, or meetings. Specify resource, event, optional filter and secret for secure, targeted notifications.

Instructions

Register a new webhook with the Webex API.

Args: name: A user-friendly name for the webhook (required) target_url: The URL that receives POST requests from Webex (required). Must be a publicly reachable HTTPS endpoint. resource: The Webex resource type to watch (required). Valid values: - "messages" — message events in a room - "rooms" — room created/updated/deleted - "memberships" — room membership changes - "attachmentActions" — Adaptive Card form submissions - "meetings" — meeting lifecycle events event: The event type to listen for (required). Valid values: - "created" — resource was created - "updated" — resource was updated - "deleted" — resource was deleted - "all" — all event types for the resource filter: Optional filter expression to narrow the events received, e.g. "roomId=" for message events in a specific room secret: Optional secret used by Webex to sign webhook payloads (X-Spark-Signature header). Use this to verify authenticity.

Returns: Standardized response dictionary with success/error information

Behavior4/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses that target_url must be HTTPS and publicly reachable, explains the secret for verification, and lists valid resource/event values. It does not mention potential side effects like duplicate handling or rate limits, but is fairly transparent for a creation tool.

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 well-structured with Args and Returns sections, using line breaks for readability. It is informative without being overly verbose. A slight trim of the 'Args:' label could improve conciseness, but it's already efficient.

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?

Given 6 parameters (4 required) and no output schema, the description covers return type ('standardized response dictionary') and parameter details. It could mention authentication prerequisites or what happens on success (e.g., returns webhook details), but overall is complete for the tool's complexity.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description fully compensates by explaining each parameter: name, target_url (with requirement), resource and event (with valid values), filter (with example), and secret (with purpose). This adds significant meaning beyond the schema titles.

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 clearly states 'Register a new webhook with the Webex API', which is a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools that handle listing, updating, or deleting webhooks.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description implies when to use (to create a webhook) but does not provide explicit when-not-to-use guidance or compare to alternatives like update_webex_webhook. No mention of prerequisites or context for using filter or secret.

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