evite_cancel_event

DestructiveIdempotent

Cancel an Evite event or delete a draft. A confirmation preview is required because it may notify guests; proceed only after approval.

Instructions

Cancel an Evite event (also used to delete a draft). DESTRUCTIVE — may send a cancellation notice to guests; reversible with evite_reinstate_event. Asks the user to confirm first: a confirmation prompt where the client supports one; otherwise the first call returns a preview and a confirmToken, and only a repeat call with that token proceeds (see MCP_CONFIRM_MODE).

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
event_idYesEvite event id (event_id from evite_list_events).
confirmTokenNoONLY for the two-step confirmation fallback (a client without MCP elicitation). The confirmToken from this same tool's phase-1 "confirmation-required" response, passed back ONLY after the user has seen that preview and explicitly approved it in chat — never on the first call, never invented, never reused. Call again with the same arguments. Ignored when the client supports elicitation.

TDQS

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true and idempotentHint=true, yet the description adds what those hints cannot: cancellation notices may reach guests, the action is recoverable via evite_reinstate_event, and the exact two-phase confirmation contract (preview + confirmToken, repeat call with same arguments, MCP_CONFIRM_MODE). That is real behavioral context beyond structured fields.

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?

Front-loads the action, immediately flags DESTRUCTIVE, then explains reversibility and the confirmation mechanism in order of importance. Every clause carries decision-relevant information; nothing is filler despite the density.

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 destructive, open-world, confirmed-write tool with no output schema, the description covers side effects, reversibility, and the full confirmation protocol an agent must implement. Nothing needed to invoke it correctly is missing.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3, but the description supplies flow-level meaning the schema alone implies only locally: confirmToken is never sent on the first call, is never invented or reused, and is ignored entirely under elicitation. It also anchors event_id's origin (evite_list_events) alongside the schema.

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+resource ('Cancel an Evite event') plus the secondary scope (draft deletion), and names the inverse sibling evite_reinstate_event. An agent can distinguish this from evite_update_event or evite_remove_guest without opening any schema.

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?

Gives clear context for use (cancelling events, deleting drafts) and routes the agent to evite_reinstate_event when reversal is needed. It does not spell out explicit 'do not use for X' exclusions, but the destructive warning plus the named alternative covers the main routing decision.

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