resy_cancel

Destructive

Cancel a Resy reservation by supplying its token. See venue, date, time, party size, and cancellation fee before confirming.

Instructions

Cancel a Resy reservation by its resy_token (the rr://... identifier returned from resy_book or resy_list_reservations). The confirmation preview shows the venue, date, time, party size, and any cancellation fee. 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
resy_tokenYesrr://... reservation identifier
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

A5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the destructiveHint annotation, the description discloses the confirmation flow, the two-phase behavior in fallback mode, and that the preview shows venue, date, time, party size, and cancellation fee. This gives the agent a realistic model of the tool's side effects and interaction pattern.

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?

The description is compact and front-loaded: the core action appears in the first phrase, followed only by essential operational details. Every sentence adds useful information, and the confirmation flow is explained without unnecessary padding.

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 cancellation operation with two parameters and no output schema, this description is complete. It explains the token source, the preview contents, and the full confirmation/fallback mechanism, so an agent knows how to invoke it correctly in both supported and fallback modes.

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?

Although the schema already describes both parameters, the description adds critical meaning: resy_token provenance from resy_book or resy_list_reservations, and confirmToken semantics including when it must appear, that it must be passed back with the same arguments, and that it is ignored when elicitation is supported.

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 opens with a specific verb and resource: 'Cancel a Resy reservation by its resy_token', and clarifies the exact identifier format plus where it comes from ('returned from resy_book or resy_list_reservations'). This makes the tool's purpose unambiguous and distinct from the sibling tools.

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?

It explicitly states when to use the tool (to cancel a reservation) and provides required context: the resy_token must come from resy_book or resy_list_reservations. It also gives strong when-not guidance for confirmToken, saying it should 'never be on the first call, never invented, never reused'.

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