Get Connection Status

get_connection_status
Read-only

Check live SMTP and IMAP connection health post-setup, returning status, TLS security mode, and host/port details to diagnose connectivity issues.

Instructions

Check live SMTP and IMAP health after setup. Returns connection status, TLS security mode (secure/insecure), and host/port details. Use setup_status first for credentials, Bridge reachability, or agent-approval diagnosis.

Tool call template

This tool declares no required parameters. Add optional parameters from the input schema as needed.

TDQS

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations declare readOnlyHint=true, and the description confirms a read-only health check. It adds specific behavioral details (returns status, TLS mode, host/port) without contradicting annotations. No destructive or side effects are implied, consistent with safety.

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?

Two sentences, front-loaded with purpose and output details, followed by a clear usage hint. No redundant information; every sentence is valuable.

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?

Given the tool's simplicity (one optional param, read-only, with an output schema), the description covers all necessary aspects: what it checks, what it returns, and when to use it. The output schema handles return value details, so no further elaboration needed.

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% for the single optional parameter 'account_id', which is already well-documented in the schema. The description does not add new parameter meaning, so baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 the tool checks live SMTP and IMAP health after setup. It differentiates from sibling tools like setup_status by explicitly directing users to use setup_status first for credentials, Bridge reachability, or agent-approval diagnosis.

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?

The description provides explicit guidance: use setup_status first for certain diagnostics, implying this tool is for after setup. This helps the agent decide when to use this tool versus siblings.

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