run_destination_setup_tests

Run setup tests on an existing destination to validate its configuration and connectivity.

Instructions

⚠️ WRITE OPERATION - Confirm with user before calling. Runs the setup tests for an existing destination within your Fivetran account.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
schema_fileYesREQUIRED: You must first read the schema file at 'open-api-definitions/destinations/run_destination_setup_tests.json', then provide this exact path here to confirm.
request_bodyYesJSON string containing the request body. Refer to the schema file for the expected structure.
destination_idYesThe unique identifier for the destination
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. Only states it's a write operation; lacks details on side effects, duration, success/failure conditions, or whether it modifies the destination state.

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?

Very concise single sentence with a prominent warning prefix. No unnecessary words or repetition.

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

Completeness2/5

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

No output schema and no annotations; description does not explain what happens after running tests (e.g., results, asynchronous behavior). Leaves agent uncertain about return value or next steps.

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 provides 100% coverage with descriptions for all 3 parameters. Description adds limited value beyond schema (e.g., instructs to read schema file for request_body structure). Baseline 3 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?

Description clearly states verb 'Runs', resource 'setup tests', and scope 'for an existing destination within your Fivetran account'. Differentiates from sibling tools like 'run_setup_tests' (likely for connections) and 'run_setup_tests_log_service'.

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?

Explicitly warns 'WRITE OPERATION - Confirm with user before calling', providing a critical usage guideline. However, no direct comparison to alternative sibling tools for when to use this vs others.

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