Receive

keychain_receive
Read-only

Retrieve a Bitwarden Send by URL, optionally providing a password. Returns text by default, or choose to get the raw JSON object or download file contents.

Instructions

Receive a Bitwarden Send from an HTTPS url. Provide password when the Send is protected; obj=true returns the parsed JSON object, downloadFile=true downloads file bytes as base64, and the default returns received text. This reads a shared Send and does not create or modify vault items.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
urlYesHTTPS Bitwarden Send URL to receive.
passwordNoPassword required by the Send, when one was configured.
objNoReturn the full parsed Send JSON object instead of raw text.

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint and openWorldHint. Description reinforces that it reads a shared Send without modifying vault items, and details behavior for different modes. No contradiction with annotations.

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?

Three sentences, front-loaded with main purpose, no unnecessary words. Efficient and easy to parse.

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?

Covers return value types for all modes (text, JSON, file bytes). No output schema exists, so description compensates. Missing error handling details, but adequate given annotations and schema.

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 coverage is 100% with clear descriptions for each parameter. Description adds natural language context but does not significantly expand beyond schema. 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 receives a Bitwarden Send from an HTTPS URL, using specific verbs and resource. It distinguishes from siblings like keychain_send_get which retrieves own Sends, and vault item tools.

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?

Provides clear guidance on when to use each flag (obj, downloadFile) and when to provide password. Implicitly contrasts with keychain_send_get for retrieving self-created Sends, but does not explicitly state alternatives.

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