Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v0.1.10
- Disambiguation5/5
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose, targeting specific resources (domain, mailbox, message, webhook, import, etc.) with unique actions. No two tools appear to do the same thing; descriptions further clarify boundaries.
Naming Consistency5/5All tools follow a consistent shipmail_<verb>_<noun> pattern with imperative verbs (create, get, list, update, delete, etc.) and no mixing of cases or conventions.
Tool Count4/550 tools is high but justified by the breadth of the email platform functionality, covering domains, mailboxes, messages, folders, rules, webhooks, imports, and more. Slightly over the typical range, but each tool serves a specific need.
Completeness4/5The tool set covers most core workflows: CRUD for domains, mailboxes, folders, and webhooks; message sending, replying, and moving; rules, imports, and suppressions. Minor gaps include lack of create/update/delete for sending identities and limited inbox message updates.
Average 3.9/5 across 50 of 50 tools scored. Lowest: 2.9/5.

How is the quality score calculated?
The overall quality score combines two components: Tool Definition Quality (70%) and Server Coherence (30%).
Tool Definition Quality measures how well each tool describes itself to AI agents. Every tool is scored 1–5 across six dimensions: Purpose Clarity (25%), Usage Guidelines (20%), Behavioral Transparency (20%), Parameter Semantics (15%), Conciseness & Structure (10%), and Contextual Completeness (10%). The server-level definition quality score is calculated as 60% mean TDQS + 40% minimum TDQS, so a single poorly described tool pulls the score down.
Server Coherence evaluates how well the tools work together as a set, scoring four dimensions equally: Disambiguation (can agents tell tools apart?), Naming Consistency, Tool Count Appropriateness, and Completeness (are there gaps in the tool surface?).
Tiers are derived from the overall score: A (≥3.5), B (≥3.0), C (≥2.0), D (≥1.0), F (<1.0). B and above is considered passing.
Tool Scores
- Behavior1/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description claims the offboarding is 'non-destructive', but annotations indicate destructiveHint: true. This contradiction is serious and misleading. Beyond the contradiction, the description provides no additional context about side effects, permissions, or reversibility.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise at 6 words, with a single sentence that front-loads the action. However, it omits important details, making it slightly under-specified. Conciseness is positive, but not at the expense of completeness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the simplicity of the tool (one parameter, output schema exists), the description should fully explain the process, but it fails to address the contradiction with annotations, clarify what 'non-destructive' means in context, or describe what happens to delegated access. The presence of an output schema mitigates need for return value details, but behavioral gaps remain.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The single parameter 'id' is well-documented in the schema with a description. The tool description adds no extra meaning about the parameter, such as how to obtain it or its relationship to the offboarding process. Since schema coverage is 100%, baseline is 3, but the description adds no value, so score is reduced to 2.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action 'Start non-destructive offboarding' and the immediate effect 'remove delegated access'. It identifies the resource (partner organization) and the outcome, distinguishing it from siblings like suspend/resume. However, 'offboarding' is not fully defined, leaving some ambiguity.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like suspend_partner_organization or delete_partner_organization. The description does not mention prerequisites, conditions for use, or scenarios where offboarding is appropriate.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior1/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description claims to 'revoke' a link, which is a destructive action, but annotations set destructiveHint=false. This is a direct contradiction. Additionally, the description does not provide details about side effects, permissions required, or whether the action is reversible.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single short sentence, which is concise but lacks necessary detail. It is front-loaded but insufficient for full understanding. Every word contributes to the core action, but it omits usage context and parameter clarification.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has an output schema (not shown) and 3 parameters, the description is incomplete. It does not explain when to use it, the meaning of the owner_email parameter, or the behavioral implications of the revoke action. The annotation contradiction further undermines completeness.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 67% coverage (2 of 3 parameters have descriptions). The critical parameter 'owner_email' lacks a description in both schema and tool description. The description adds no parameter-specific meaning beyond the schema, failing to compensate for the incomplete schema documentation.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action: revoke and resend a new single-use link. The verb 'revoke' and 'email' combined with 'link' make the purpose unambiguous. The name also contains 'resend' and 'ownership_invitation', which matches the description and distinguishes it from sibling tools that do not involve invitation resending.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites (e.g., that the invitation must be pending) or when not to use it. There is no mention of other tools for comparison.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate destructiveHint=true and idempotentHint=true. The description adds no behavioral details beyond 'Queue one failed webhook delivery again'. It does not explain side effects, prerequisites, or limits.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise (one short sentence). While efficient, it lacks structure and fails to elaborate on purpose or usage. It saves words but sacrifices completeness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the number of sibling webhook tools and the tool's simple nature, the description omits key context like when a delivery is considered 'failed' or how to obtain the IDs. An output schema exists but is not referenced.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with descriptions for all parameters. The description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema provides, so baseline score of 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool re-queues a failed webhook delivery. The verb 'queue' and noun phrase 'failed webhook delivery' are specific. However, it does not distinguish from siblings like shipmail_test_webhook, which also triggers a delivery.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., shipmail_test_webhook, shipmail_get_webhook_delivery). No exclusions or context provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description states 'This is destructive,' but this is already indicated by the annotations (destructiveHint: true). It adds no new behavioral information beyond what the agent can infer from annotations, such as whether deletion is reversible or what happens to related data (e.g., emails, folders).
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise, consisting of two short, front-loaded sentences. No unnecessary words are present.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite having an output schema (which explains return values), the description lacks important context for a destructive operation: it does not mention that deletion is permanent, what resources are affected (e.g., emails, app passwords), or how the id parameter is obtained. The tool's completeness is insufficient for an agent to use it safely.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema covers the single 'id' parameter with a description and pattern. The description does not add any additional meaning about the parameter, but schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline of 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action and resource ('Delete a mailbox'), which matches the name and title. However, it does not differentiate from related tools like shipmail_suspend_mailbox, which could confuse an agent on which tool to use for temporary vs permanent removal.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives like suspend_mailbox or resume_mailbox. It fails to mention that deletion is irreversible and should be used only when permanent removal is intended, leaving the agent without critical usage context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false. The description adds that it returns ownership state, providing some extra behavioral context beyond the annotations. It does not contradict annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single short sentence that efficiently conveys the action and what is returned. No unnecessary words, though it could be slightly more informative.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the presence of an output schema, the description does not need to explain return values in detail. It mentions ownership state, which adds relevant context. For a simple one-parameter retrieval tool with output schema, the description is sufficiently complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so the schema fully documents the 'id' parameter. The description does not add new semantic meaning beyond what is already in the schema's parameter description.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it retrieves one partner child relationship and its ownership state, matching the tool's name and title. It distinguishes from list_partner_organizations by specifying 'one' but could be more precise on domain terminology.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like list_partner_organizations or update_partner_organization. The description implies it's for a single record retrieval, but does not state when not to use it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate destructiveHint=true (sending can have side effects), idempotentHint=true, and openWorldHint=true. The description adds only mention of optional features but no new behavioral context like authorization needs or rate limits. With annotations, the description's value is limited.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise with two sentences. The first sentence states the action and optional features, and the second provides a critical usage condition. No wasted words, and it is front-loaded with the core purpose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (18 parameters, nested objects, many optional fields) and the presence of annotations, the description is too brief. It does not explain return values, error handling, or relationships between parameters like staged attachments or idempotency key. Output schema exists but is not described.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is only 17%, meaning few parameters are documented in the schema. The description mentions 'client correlation, scalar metadata, and validated safe headers' but does not explain specific parameters or their constraints, failing to compensate for the low schema coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool sends an email from a mailbox ID, with optional features like client correlation and metadata. The verb 'Send' is explicit, and the resource (email from mailbox) is clear. While it doesn't explicitly distinguish from sibling reply or draft tools, the function is distinct enough.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides a strong usage guideline: 'Use only after the user has explicitly asked to send or approved the exact recipients and content.' This clearly instructs the agent on when to use the tool, though it doesn't mention alternatives or when not to use it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior1/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description claims to queue deletion, which is a destructive action, but annotations state destructiveHint=false. This contradiction undermines transparency. The description does not disclose whether the queue is asynchronous or what happens to import metadata.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two concise, front-loaded sentences with zero wasted words. The key action and scope are immediately clear.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given output schema exists, return value explanation is not needed. The description covers the core behavior and constraints. It could mention idempotency (hinted in annotations) but is otherwise sufficient.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% and includes descriptions for both parameters. The description adds no additional semantic value beyond what the schema already provides.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it queues deletion of messages created by an import, and distinguishes from cancel by noting it undoes completed imports. The verb 'undo' is specific and the clarification about existing mail not being touched adds precision.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like cancel_mailbox_import. It does not specify prerequisites or scenarios where this is appropriate versus other import management tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior1/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description contradicts the annotation destructiveHint=false by stating 'treat as destructive' and describing the silent retargeting of mail as a destructive side effect. This is a clear annotation contradiction. The description adds some transparency about the effect, but the contradiction lowers the score to 1.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two concise sentences with front-loaded purpose. Every word adds value: first sentence states action and scope, second warns of side effects. No redundancy or fluff.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite having only 3 parameters and an output schema, the description fails to resolve contradictions with annotations (destructive vs idempotent). It omits details about idempotency, success/error responses, and permissions. Given the complexity of conflicting signals, the description is incomplete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema has 100% coverage with clear parameter descriptions. The description adds indirect context about catch_all_mailbox_id's impact (changing it retargets mail) but does not elaborate on id or idempotency_key beyond what the schema provides. Baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: updating mutable domain settings, specifically the catch-all mailbox. It distinguishes itself from sibling domain tools like create, delete, verify, and search, aligning with the 'update' verb. The phrase 'currently the catch-all mailbox' precisely scopes the functionality.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for changing catch-all mailbox but lacks explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance. It does not compare with other domain update tools (none exist directly) but warns 'treat as destructive', offering minimal situational context. No alternatives are mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description adds some behavioral context by mentioning 'using its current reply_version,' hinting at optimistic locking. However, no details are given on version mismatch behavior or the implications of the three reply states. Annotations already indicate idempotentHint=true, but the description does not exceed what annotations provide.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, well-formed sentence that efficiently conveys the tool's purpose and a key parameter. It is not overly long, though it could be split into two sentences for clarity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has 5 parameters (4 required) and an output schema, the description is too terse. It does not explain the reply queue concept, the effect of state changes, or what the output contains. The output schema may cover return values, but the description should still provide high-level context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 40% (only id and idempotency_key have descriptions). The description mentions 'reply_version' but does not explain other required parameters like thread_id or the meaning of reply_state enum values. The contribution beyond the schema is minimal.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (Resolve, suppress, or reopen), the resource (reply-queue thread), and the key parameter (reply_version). It distinguishes this tool from siblings like shipmail_reply_to_inbox_thread by focusing on state updates rather than sending replies.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as shipmail_reply_to_inbox_thread or state-changing tools. The description lacks any context about prerequisites or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
While annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, the description adds no extra behavioral context (e.g., whether it returns the full page object, any side effects, or access requirements). It simply restates that it fetches.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence that front-loads the verb and resource. It is efficient but could benefit from including a brief note about usage context or return value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool is simple with one parameter, and an output schema exists (not shown but indicated). The description is adequate for basic understanding, but it could mention that this is a safe read operation and what the ID represents (already in schema).
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% and the parameter 'id' is already described as 'Booking page ID.' The description does not add additional meaning or formatting details beyond what the schema provides, so baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'fetch', resource 'booking page', and scope 'by ID'. It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools like list_booking_pages (lists) and create/update/delete_booking_page (mutations).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., list_booking_pages for multiple pages). There is no mention of prerequisites, typical scenarios, or when not to use it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false. The description adds the context of looking up by email within an audience but does not disclose behavior when subscriber not found, pagination, or any side effects. Adequate given annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single concise sentence with key action and resource front-loaded. No unnecessary words, but could benefit from a bit more structure (e.g., bullet points for parameters).
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple read tool with existing output schema, the description is minimally complete. However, it lacks any context about prerequisites, error handling, or relationship to audience resources.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 50%: only audience_id has a description ('Audience ID.'). The description adds that the lookup is 'by email address' but doesn't elaborate on parameter meaning, format, or constraints beyond the schema. Insufficient compensation for the half-covered parameters.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('look up') and the resource ('subscriber in an audience by email address'). It distinguishes from siblings like shipmail_get_subscriber (likely by ID) and shipmail_add_subscriber.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives such as shipmail_get_subscriber (by ID) or shipmail_list_subscribers. Missing when-not-to-use or context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description adds that the operator provides the password, but does not elaborate on side effects or reversibility. Annotations already indicate idempotent and non-destructive behavior.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise and front-loaded with the action, but could benefit from slightly more detail without becoming verbose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given an output schema exists and annotations are present, the description covers basic purpose and precondition but lacks details on prerequisites or error conditions.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 67%, but the description does not add meaning to the password parameter beyond schema constraints, nor does it explain the id or idempotency key in more detail.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool resets a mailbox login password, and it is distinct from siblings like shipmail_revoke_mailbox_app_password.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Only a precondition is given (operator provides replacement password). No guidance on when not to use or comparison to alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate non-readOnly (mutation), non-destructive, idempotent. The description does not add behavioral context beyond stating the action. With good annotation coverage, a score of 3 is appropriate for not contradicting or extending.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence, no wasted words, front-loaded with the action. Highly concise.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple update tool with clear schema and output schema, the description is adequate. However, it does not provide context to differentiate from other update tools among many siblings, missing an opportunity to aid tool selection.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema has 100% description coverage for all parameters. The description adds no additional parameter-level meaning. Baseline 3 applies as schema does the heavy lifting.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb ('Update'), resource ('mailbox'), and the specific attribute ('display name'). It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'shipmail_create_mailbox' or 'shipmail_delete_mailbox' by specifying the operation on an existing mailbox's name.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., other update tools). No prerequisites or exclusions are mentioned, leaving the agent without context for appropriate invocation.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate idempotent and non-destructive. The description adds context about the mapping of availability_days and the opt-in nature of conferencing_provider, but does not disclose other behavioral traits like what happens upon creation or any side effects.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise with two sentences, front-loading the main purpose. It efficiently uses space but could include more key info without becoming verbose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity (15 parameters, 8 required) and the fact that an output schema exists, the description lacks critical context about how the booking page operates, prerequisites beyond conferencing_provider, and authorization requirements. It feels incomplete for a creation tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With only 27% schema description coverage, the description adds value by explaining availability_days and conferencing_provider, but fails to clarify other critical parameters like window_start_minutes, window_end_minutes, timezone, and duration_minutes, leaving much ambiguity.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action 'Create a booking page' and the resource 'booking page exposing one mailbox's availability'. It also explains the meaning of two key parameters, distinguishing it from sibling tools like listing or updating.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies use for creation but does not explicitly compare with alternative tools (update, delete, list). It mentions a prerequisite (conferencing_provider must be connected) but no guidance on when to choose this over other booking page operations.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate idempotentHint and destructiveHint. The description confirms it creates an event but does not disclose authentication needs, potential failures (e.g., invalid mailbox), or side effects. With annotations present, the description adds minimal behavioral context.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, clear sentence with no redundancy. It is front-loaded and efficient, though perhaps too brief for the tool's complexity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (18 parameters, nested objects, output schema), the description is extremely sparse. It fails to cover essential context like required parameters beyond the obvious, typical use cases, or behavior of optional fields. The presence of an output schema does not compensate for the lack of explanation of inputs.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Despite 18 parameters and only 33% schema description coverage, the description only explains the relationship between start and timezone. It offers no added meaning for other key parameters like attendees, recurrence, or reminders, leaving the agent to rely solely on sparse schema descriptions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action and resource: 'Create a calendar event on a mailbox's calendar.' It distinguishes this tool from siblings like shipmail_update_calendar_event and shipmail_delete_calendar_event.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides a hint about using start with timezone but lacks explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like shipmail_list_calendar_events for reading events. No prerequisites or conditions are mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations indicate idempotency and non-destructiveness. The description adds context by clarifying that the tool creates a draft without sending, which aligns with the idempotentHint. No contradictions 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.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence that directly states the action and a key behavioral note. While efficient, it could be slightly expanded to include parameter hints without losing clarity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (7 parameters, required fields, output schema not described), the description is too minimal. It omits important context like the purpose of `expected_reply_version`, the relationship to the thread, and what the output represents.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is low (29%), and the description does not explain any parameters. For a tool with 7 parameters, including critical ones like `thread_id` and `expected_reply_version`, the description should provide context to aid correct usage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description explicitly states the action ('create'), the resource ('reply draft'), and the key constraint ('does not send email'), making the tool's purpose clear. It also distinguishes from siblings like `shipmail_send_inbox_reply_draft` which sends the draft.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description does not provide any guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as `shipmail_send_inbox_reply_draft` or `shipmail_reply_to_inbox_thread`. It only notes what the tool does not do, without explaining the typical workflow.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Beyond the annotations (readOnlyHint=false, idempotentHint=true), the description adds that an ownership invitation email is sent and that no domain or mailbox is created. This provides valuable context about side effects and constraints, though it omits details like required permissions or rate limits.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise: one sentence for the primary action and one clarifying sentence. It is front-loaded with the key verb and resource, and every word adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description covers the core action and a key behavioral note, but given the tool has 6 parameters and a potentially complex creation process, it does not address error conditions, idempotency specifics (though hinted), or the response format. An output schema exists, which reduces the need to describe return values, but more context would improve agent decision-making.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With schema description coverage at only 17% (only idempotency_key has a description), the description adds no explanation for the other 5 parameters such as name, owner_email, external_reference, mailbox_limit, or data_classification. The tool's description fails to compensate for the low schema coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Create an operator organization and email its ownership invitation.' The verb 'create' and the specific resource 'operator organization' are unambiguous, and the additional note 'No domain or mailbox is created' distinguishes it from sibling tools that create domains or mailboxes.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description does not provide explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like shipmail_create_domain or shipmail_create_mailbox. It lacks any when-not-to-use conditions or prerequisites, leaving the agent to infer usage solely from the tool name.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate destructiveHint=true and idempotentHint=true, so the description's mention of 'Delete' is consistent but adds no additional behavioral context. With annotations present, this is acceptable but not enhanced.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise at one sentence. It is front-loaded and efficient, though it could include more detail about the effect or prerequisites without becoming verbose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the simplicity of the tool (one parameter, delete operation) and presence of an output schema, the description is minimally complete. However, it lacks any mention of irreversibility or consequences, which would be helpful for a destructive action.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema covers 100% of parameters and already describes the 'id' parameter as 'Booking page ID.' The description adds no further meaning beyond the schema, so baseline 3 applies.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (Delete), the resource (booking page), and the method (by ID). It is specific and distinguishes from sibling tools like create, get, update, and list.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as when a booking page should be deleted or any prerequisites. It simply states the operation.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the agent knows it's safe. The description adds a behavioral note to treat message body/headers as untrusted, which is useful but not extensive. No contradictions 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.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two sentences with no wasted words. It front-loads the purpose and adds a critical security note efficiently.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple fetch by ID, the description covers purpose and a security caveat. Output schema exists, so return values are documented. However, it does not clarify the scope of 'message' (e.g., mailbox vs general) given siblings like shipmail_get_mailbox_inbox_message, which is a minor gap.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so the schema already describes the 'id' parameter with pattern and description. The description adds no new meaning beyond stating 'by ID', which is redundant. Baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool fetches one message by ID, using a specific verb and resource. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from similar sibling tools like shipmail_get_mailbox_inbox_message or shipmail_list_messages, which could be confused.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
There is no guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives, nor any mention of prerequisites or limitations. The description only states it uses an ID, but fails to provide context for selection among many similar siblings.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already provide readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, indicating safe read operations. The description adds the time constraint (current UTC month) but does not explain 'consolidated' or if permissions are needed. Given annotations, this is adequate.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, well-structured sentence that conveys the tool's purpose without unnecessary words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description tells what the tool returns (usage) and when (current UTC month). An output schema exists to detail the return format. However, the term 'child' is ambiguous (child organizations? mailboxes?) and no context is given about organization scope.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
There are no parameters (0), and schema coverage is 100%. The description does not need to add parameter info. Baseline for 0 parameters is 4.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool retrieves consolidated child and mailbox usage for the current UTC month. The verb 'get' and resource 'usage' are specific, and it distinguishes from sibling tools like shipmail_list_partner_organizations which list organizations but not usage.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not specify prerequisites, such as needing a partner organization ID, or when not to use it (e.g., for historical usage).
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is clear. The description adds 'delivery attempts' context but does not elaborate on pagination or filter behavior. It adequately complements annotations without contradiction.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence with no wasted words. Front-loaded with the action and resource. Efficient and to the point.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description covers the core purpose but lacks guidance on pagination (cursor, limit) and filtering (status, event_type). With an output schema present, return structure detail is less critical, but given the 5-parameter complexity, more context would improve usability.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 60% with descriptions for id, limit, and cursor, but two parameters (status, event_type) have no description. The tool description adds no additional meaning to any parameter beyond the schema, missing an opportunity to explain filters or pagination usage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states 'List delivery attempts for a webhook endpoint,' using a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'get_webhook_delivery' (single delivery) and 'list_webhooks' (different resource).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like get_webhook_delivery or replay_webhook_delivery. The description does not mention required prerequisites (e.g., needing a webhook ID) or filtering options.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior1/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Description says 'treat as destructive' but annotations set destructiveHint=false, creating a direct contradiction. This misleads the agent about the tool's safety profile.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences with no fluff: first states purpose, second adds critical behavioral warning. Appropriate length for the tool's scope.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Covers the primary action and warns about destructive effects, but lacks parameter details and contradicts annotations. Output schema exists but description doesn't reference it.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With only 29% schema description coverage (2 of 7 parameters described), the description adds no meaning beyond the action. It does not explain how parameters map to enable/update/disable behavior.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states verb+resource: 'Enable, update, or disable an auto-reply for a mailbox.' This is unique among sibling tools, as no other tool handles auto-reply settings.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Provides context that enabling creates a permanent outbound channel firing on every inbound message and advises to treat as destructive. However, does not explicitly state when to use vs. alternatives like mailbox rules or forwarding.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate idempotentHint=true and destructiveHint=false. The description adds the consent_source requirement, but doesn't reveal other behavioral traits (e.g., uniqueness constraints, default values).
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, front-loaded with the primary action. No unnecessary words or repetition.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With an output schema present, return values are covered. However, the description omits prerequisites (e.g., existence of a newsletter), limitations, or when to use idempotency key.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, baseline is 3. The description adds value by emphasizing consent_source is a required attestation, but doesn't add meaning beyond the schema for other parameters.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it creates a newsletter audience (verb+resource), but does not differentiate from sibling tools like shipmail_update_audience or shipmail_add_subscribers_batch.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description mentions consent_source is a required attestation, giving usage context, but does not specify when to use this tool versus alternative audience-related tools (e.g., add_subscriber).
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false (write), destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true. The description adds no additional behavioral context (e.g., permission requirements, side effects, rate limits) beyond what annotations provide.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two concise sentences with no extraneous information. The first sentence states the purpose, the second provides a key usage step.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite having an output schema, the description omits important context about optional parameters (e.g., when to use password vs generate_password) and does not fully leverage the six parameters. Given the large set of sibling tools, more detail would increase completeness.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 33%. The description does not explain any parameter semantics (e.g., the address pattern, the interaction between password and generate_password). It only mentions domain_id indirectly via the prerequisite.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Create a mailbox on an existing domain') and distinguishes from siblings by specifying a prerequisite ('Use shipmail_list_domains first to find the domain ID'). It uses a specific verb+resource structure.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides a clear usage context (create mailbox on existing domain) and a direct prerequisite (list domains to get domain ID). However, it does not explicitly mention when not to use or alternatives among the many mailbox-related siblings.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description loosely mentions 'undo hold' alongside 'inspect', which could imply a mutation, but annotations declare readOnlyHint=true. This creates a minor ambiguity. Beyond that, the description adds the note about included fields (recipients, body, attachment metadata), which provides context the annotations alone do not cover.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence that quickly conveys the main purpose. It front-loads the verb 'Inspect'. However, the phrase 'or undo hold' is somewhat ambiguous and could be clearer, reducing conciseness slightly.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple tool with one parameter, an output schema (not shown but present), and readOnly annotation, the description adequately lists the returned components (recipients, body, attachment metadata). It does not need to detail return format due to output schema, making it sufficiently complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema already fully documents the 'id' parameter with pattern and description. The description does not add any additional meaning or context about the parameter beyond what is in the schema, so baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool inspects a single future scheduled message, including specific details (recipients, body, attachment metadata). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like list_scheduled_messages (list vs single), cancel_scheduled_message (mutate vs read), and update_scheduled_message (modify vs inspect).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description does not provide explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It mentions 'undo hold' but does not clarify if that is a separate action or how it relates to other tools like cancel_scheduled_message or update_scheduled_message. No when-to-use or when-not-to-use hints are given.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate destructiveHint=true and idempotentHint=true. The description 'Queue a test event' adds minimal behavioral detail beyond these annotations—it does not clarify whether the event is immediately sent, what side effects occur, or if it creates a delivery record. Description fails to add meaningful context about the tool's behavior.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence that communicates the tool's purpose without redundancy or extraneous information. It is front-loaded and every word earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description is adequate for a straightforward tool but lacks context about prerequisites (e.g., webhook must exist) and what a 'test event' entails (e.g., payload, timing). Output schema exists, so return values don't need coverage, but the missing usage context reduces completeness.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Input schema has 100% description coverage for both parameters (id and idempotency_key), so the schema already documents them. The tool description does not add any parameter-specific information beyond what the schema provides, warranting a baseline score of 3.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Queue a test event for a webhook endpoint.' clearly states the action (queue a test event) and the resource (webhook endpoint). It effectively distinguishes this tool from siblings like shipmail_create_webhook, shipmail_delete_webhook, and shipmail_replay_webhook_delivery, which handle different operations on webhooks.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for testing a webhook but does not provide explicit guidance on when to use this tool vs. alternatives like shipmail_replay_webhook_delivery or prerequisites such as the webhook needing to exist. The usage context is implied but not clearly articulated.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already provide `destructiveHint: true`, indicating state mutation. The description's 'Replace' aligns with this. However, it adds no new behavioral context beyond the annotations, such as effects on other operations or prerequisites.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, concise and front-loaded with the verb 'Replace'. It efficiently conveys the core functionality, though it could be slightly more structured.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the presence of an output schema, return values need not be explained. The description covers the main purpose but misses details like validation rules, idempotency handling, and error conditions, which would be helpful given the tool's complexity (12 parameters).
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is very low (17%), with only `id` and `idempotency_key` having descriptions. The tool description lists replaceable fields (recipients, content, etc.) but does not elaborate on formats, constraints, or semantics for the 12 parameters. The description does not compensate for the low schema coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Replace') and the resource ('future scheduled message'), listing specific fields (recipients, content, staged attachments, delivery time). It distinguishes itself from siblings like `shipmail_get_scheduled_message`, `shipmail_list_scheduled_messages`, and `shipmail_cancel_scheduled_message` by being the update operation.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The phrase 'before dispatch begins' implies the tool should be used on unsent messages, but it does not explicitly state when not to use it or mention alternatives (e.g., `cancel_scheduled_message`). The context is clear but lacks exclusionary guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description adds behavioral context beyond annotations: it specifies atomicity, snapshot consistency, and 30-day retention. Annotations already indicate idempotentHint=true (consistent with 'complete' and 'snapshot-consistent') and destructiveHint=false. The description enriches transparency without contradicting annotations. However, it does not detail any side effects or permission requirements.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is exceptionally concise: two sentences that convey the core action, atomicity, and retention. Information is front-loaded with the primary purpose, and every word serves a purpose. No extraneous details.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has 4 parameters, 2 required, and an output schema, the description is minimally complete: it covers the action and retention but lacks parameter explanations, prerequisites, and usage guidance relative to siblings. The output schema and annotations partially compensate, but the description alone leaves gaps about parameter semantics and when to create vs retrieve scans.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is only 25% (only idempotency_key has a top-level description). The description mentions 'date window' hinting at after/before, and 'reply-needed threads' hinting at mailbox_ids, but does not explain parameter formats, the meaning of 'reply-needed threads' in relation to the parameters, or the required vs optional nature. The schema itself provides minimal descriptions for mailbox_ids items and idempotency_key, but the tool description adds insufficient value.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Atomically capture a completed, snapshot-consistent set of reply-needed threads in a date window.' The verb 'capture' and resource 'reply scan' are specific, and the mention of atomicity, snapshot consistency, and date window distinguishes it from sibling tools like get_reply_scan or list_reply_scan_results, which retrieve or list scans.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as when to create a new scan versus retrieving existing ones. There are no exclusions, prerequisites, or hints about context (e.g., 'use this to take a point-in-time snapshot'). Siblings like get_reply_scan and list_reply_scan_results exist but are not referenced.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description discloses critical behavioral details beyond annotations: the signing secret appears once in logs and must be stored in a secret manager, addressing security concerns that annotations (destructiveHint=true) alone do not cover.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise (two sentences), efficiently front-loading the purpose and then adding essential security context without redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
While the output schema exists, the description omits parameter usage and constraints (e.g., URL format, valid events), which are needed for a creation tool with 4 parameters.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With only 25% schema description coverage, the description does not explain the required parameters (url, events) or the optional description, leaving the agent to rely solely on the schema for meaning.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Create a webhook endpoint') and resource, effectively distinguishing it from siblings like 'get_webhook' or 'delete_webhook'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., update_webhook, test_webhook), nor does it mention prerequisites or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate destructiveHint=true and readOnlyHint=false. The description aligns but adds minimal context beyond repeating 'delete'. With annotations present, the description adds some value by specifying the resource and scope.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Extremely concise single sentence, 10 words, front-loaded with the verb and resource. No wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the simple tool (2 required params, no enums, output schema exists), the description is complete enough. However, it could mention irrevocability or preconditions, but not strictly necessary for a standard delete operation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description mentions 'by ID for a mailbox' which mirrors the required parameters but does not add format, constraints, or examples beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (delete), the resource (calendar event), and the scope (by ID for a mailbox). It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools like get, create, update calendar events.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, no prerequisites mentioned, and no context on consequences such as irreversibility or required permissions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the description's statement of listing is consistent. However, the description adds no further behavioral details such as auth requirements, rate limits, or the structure of the returned data. It is adequate but minimal.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence that is directly to the point. Every word adds value, and there is no redundancy or filler. It is optimally concise.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the low complexity (single parameter, read-only, with output schema), the description is sufficient to understand the tool's function. It does not explain what a 'forwarding destination' entails, but with an output schema present, this is not a critical gap. Slightly more context about the return would elevate it to a 5.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, and the parameter 'id' is described as 'ShipMail resource ID' in both schema and description. The description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema, so it provides no additional semantic value. Baseline score of 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'List', the resource 'forwarding destinations', and the scope 'pending and active'. It effectively distinguishes from sibling list tools like shipmail_list_mailbox_folders by specifying the exact resource type.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description lacks any guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., create or delete forwarding). It provides no context about prerequisites or when it is appropriate to call this tool, leaving the agent to infer usage solely from the name.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the description's 'List' verb is consistent. However, no additional behavioral details are provided (e.g., pagination, rate limits). The description adds minimal value beyond the annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
One sentence of 5 words, fully front-loaded. Every word earns its place; no redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple list tool with one required parameter, good annotations, and an output schema, the description is adequate. It could explain what 'JMAP sending identities' are, but the agent likely has domain knowledge. Slight gap but not critical.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with one parameter 'id' described as 'ShipMail resource ID.' The description's phrase 'for a mailbox' implies the ID refers to a mailbox, but does not explicitly map to the parameter. Baseline 3 is appropriate as the schema carries the meaning.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states the verb 'List', the specific resource 'JMAP sending identities', and the scope 'for a mailbox'. This distinguishes it from sibling list tools like shipmail_list_mailboxes or shipmail_list_mailbox_folders.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. There is no mention of prerequisites, context, or when not to use it among the many sibling list tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the description does not need to repeat safety traits. It adds the behavioral detail that the listing includes verification status, which is useful but minimal. No contradictions or additional disclosures.

Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single 16-word sentence that front-loads the verb and resource, with no extraneous words. Every word earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool has an output schema, annotations, and simple optional parameters. The description covers the core purpose and scope. It could mention pagination behavior, but the cursor parameter description in the schema handles that. Overall, complete enough for a read-only list tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with both parameters described in the input schema. The description does not add any extra meaning beyond the schema, so the baseline score of 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'List' and the specific resource 'newsletter sending domains', and includes the additional detail of returning verification status, which distinguishes it from the sibling tool shipmail_list_domains that lists all domains.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description does not provide any guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like shipmail_list_domains or shipmail_list_newsletters, nor does it mention prerequisites or exclusions. The agent must infer usage context from the name alone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description briefly mentions filtering options but does not differentiate from tools that retrieve a single subscriber (e.g., shipmail_get_subscriber) or provide guidance on when not to use this tool.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate destructiveHint=true, so the description does not need to repeat that. It adds context about the ID format and the need for user approval, but does not detail other behavioral aspects like side effects or authentication requirements.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two concise sentences that front-load the purpose and distinction. The usage guideline is placed at the end. Every sentence earns its place, though the structure could be slightly improved by separating the condition more explicitly.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the high parameter count (12) and nested objects, the description is too brief. It does not cover the breadth of the tool or explain the schema parameters. The presence of an output schema reduces the need for return value details, but the overall context remains incomplete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is low (17%). The description only adds a note about the 'id' parameter format (starts with 'msg_'). For the other 10 parameters, including complex objects like 'to' and 'cc', no additional meaning is provided beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool replies to a stored ShipMail message identified by ID starting with 'msg_'. It also distinguishes a sibling tool for JMAP inbox IDs, making the purpose unmistakable.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity, the description covers the main effect and important caveats. An output schema exists, so return values need not be explained. The description is complete enough for a resume operation, though it could mention preconditions like 'the mailbox must be manually suspended first'.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, and both parameters are already described in the schema. The description does not add any parameter-specific meaning beyond what is in the schema, so baseline score of 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description begins with the verb 'Remove' and clearly identifies the resource as 'a mailbox's manual suspension'. It distinguishes itself from siblings like 'shipmail_suspend_mailbox' by specifying 'manual suspension' and noting that other restrictions remain, which sets clear boundaries.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives. It implies it is the counterpart to suspending a mailbox, but lacks explicit conditions like 'use after resolving the suspension reason'. The note about other restrictions is a behavioral caveat, not a usage guideline.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Description adds that it 'may update ShipMail verification state', which is beyond annotations. Annotations do not declare mutation, so this is valuable. However, no detail on conditions or side effects.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence with clear front-loading of the main action. However, it could be structured as a list for better readability. No unnecessary words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description explains the confirmation process and key behaviors, but it omits important context such as prerequisites (e.g., mailbox existence), parameter usage, error conditions, or how idempotency works. Given the tool's complexity and available output schema, it is minimally adequate.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 67%, but the description provides no explanation of the parameters. It does not clarify what 'id' or 'destination' represent, nor the purpose of the idempotency_key. With moderate coverage, the description should compensate but fails.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('create mailbox forwarding') with specific behavioral details: sends confirmation email, delivery only after confirmation, keeps local copy, excludes spam. It effectively distinguishes from siblings like list and delete forwarding.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies the tool is used to set up forwarding with confirmation, but it does not explicitly state when to use it vs. alternatives (e.g., if no confirmation needed) or provide prerequisites. There is no guidance on when not to use.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate destructiveHint=true and idempotentHint=true. The description adds 'Remove' which aligns, but does not disclose additional behavioral traits such as whether the operation is reversible or what happens to associated data. With annotations covering the safety profile, the description provides marginal extra value.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence that efficiently communicates the tool's purpose. It is appropriately sized and front-loaded, with no wasted words.

The description is consistent with annotations (readOnlyHint=true). However, it adds no behavioral detail beyond the annotations, which already indicate a safe read operation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence, no wasted words. Essential information is front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple get-by-ID operation, the description is complete. Output schema exists, so return value details are covered elsewhere.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, and parameter descriptions in the schema are clear. The tool description does not add any additional meaning beyond what the schema already provides.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (fetch), resource (calendar event), and scope (by ID for a mailbox). It distinguishes from sibling tools like list_calendar_events or create_calendar_event.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., list_calendar_events for multiple events). The description lacks usage context or preconditions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already mark readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false. Description adds that the scan must be completed and that pagination uses an opaque cursor. No contradictions, but additional context like rate limits or error cases is missing.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence, front-loaded, no wasted words. Perfectly concise for the given information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Output schema exists, annotations cover safety. Description explains pagination with cursor but omits how to begin (initial call without cursor) and does not mention relationship to sibling tools like create/get reply scan. Adequate but not comprehensive.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema has 3 parameters with 33% description coverage (scan_id described as ShipMail resource ID). Description adds that cursor is 'opaque' and implies pagination, but does not detail how to initiate (omit cursor for first page). Minimal added value over schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states the tool pages through completed historical reply scans using an opaque cursor. The name and title align, and it distinguishes from sibling tools like shipmail_create_reply_scan and shipmail_get_reply_scan.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Description implies use after a scan is completed ('completed historical reply scan') but does not provide explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance, nor mentions alternatives among siblings.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations indicate mutability (readOnlyHint=false), destructiveHint=true, and idempotentHint=true. The description adds the requirement for user approval before sending, which is useful context. However, it does not explain the destructive nature (what gets destroyed) or any side effects beyond sending a reply.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two sentences, no filler, front-loaded with the core purpose. Every sentence adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite having an output schema, the description does not explain the return value or how to construct a proper reply (e.g., threading headers, body fields). For a tool with 12 parameters and many nested objects, the description is insufficient for an agent to use it correctly without additional context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is only 25% (3 of 12 parameters have descriptions). The description does not elaborate on any parameter beyond referencing the IDs. Many parameters (e.g., cc, html, text, headers) are complex and require explanation, but none is provided.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Reply') and the resource ('JMAP inbox message within its mailbox'), and instructs to use IDs from shipmail_list_mailbox_inbox_messages, which distinguishes it from sibling tools like shipmail_reply_to_inbox_thread or shipmail_send_message.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
It provides explicit guidance on when to use (after getting mailbox and message IDs from the list tool) and a constraint (only after user approves recipients and content). It does not list when not to use or mention alternatives, but the reply context makes the usage clear.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds 'within its required mailbox scope', which is a constraint but not a behavioral trait beyond what annotations imply. No contradiction, but minimal added value.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is exceptionally concise: two short sentences that front-load the purpose and provide a usage guideline. No filler or redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite having an output schema, the description lacks parameter details for a 9-parameter tool with low schema coverage. It mentions only one alternative among many siblings. The description does not cover return values, side effects, or prerequisites beyond user approval.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 9 parameters and only 33% schema description coverage, the description should add meaning to undocumented parameters but does not. It merely restates the purpose. For example, it doesn't explain 'sandbox_outcome' or 'scheduled_at' beyond the schema's type/format.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Reply to a stored ShipMail thread within its required mailbox scope' and distinguishes from the sibling 'shipmail_reply_to_inbox_thread' for JMAP inbox threads. This provides a specific verb-resource pair and differentiates from an alternative tool.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description includes a clear usage condition: 'Use only after the user approves the exact recipients and content.' It also mentions an alternative tool for JMAP inbox threads, offering some guidance on when not to use this tool. However, it does not explicitly list when not to use or other exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description does not disclose behavioral traits beyond the approval condition. Annotations indicate destructiveHint=true and openWorldHint=true, but the description adds no context about what happens when scheduled (e.g., irreversibility, permissions, queuing). The agent lacks insight into side effects.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, front-loaded with action and resource, minimal waste. Every word adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description is adequate given the presence of an output schema (not shown) and good parameter descriptions. However, it lacks clarity on what scheduling entails (e.g., state requirements, conflict handling) and does not leverage the available structured fields to reduce ambiguity.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Input schema has 100% description coverage for all 3 parameters, so the description does not need to add much. It adds no extra parameter context, but the baseline is acceptable. The description's approval condition is not parameter-specific.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The title and description clearly state the verb 'Schedule' and resource 'Newsletter'. It distinguishes from sibling tools like create, update, preview, send test by specifying the scheduling action.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly states to use only after explicit approval of content, audience, and time, setting a clear prerequisite. It does not mention when not to use or list alternatives, but the condition is strong enough for an agent.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate non-destructive and idempotent nature. The description adds value by specifying the effect of setting conferencing_provider to null, which is not covered by annotations, and implies a partial update pattern.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Description is three sentences front-loaded with the action. No redundant information; every sentence adds value. Efficient and well-structured.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given 16 parameters and low schema coverage, the description is too brief. It lacks explanation of what a booking page is, how updates work (e.g., overwrite vs merge), and how to use other significant parameters like availability_days.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With only 31% schema coverage, the description does not compensate for the missing parameter descriptions. The only added detail is about conferencing_provider null, which is already in the schema. The rest of the parameters remain undocumented.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description uses specific verb 'Update' and resource 'booking page', clearly distinguishing from create/get tools. The note about optional fields and specific behavior for conferencing_provider adds further clarity.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for viewing suppressions but offers no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., shipmail_remove_suppression). No context about prerequisites or exclusion criteria is provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false. The description adds no extra behavioral context beyond what annotations provide, but it does not contradict them.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, concise sentence that is front-loaded with the verb and resource. No unnecessary words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool is simple with an output schema, so the description is adequate. It could mention pagination explicitly, but the parameters imply it.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% for both parameters, so the description does not need to add meaning. The description provides no additional parameter info, matching the baseline.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it lists webhook endpoints for the organization, using a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like get_webhook (single) and create_webhook.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for listing all webhooks but does not provide guidance on when to use alternatives like get_webhook for a single webhook or list_webhook_deliveries for deliveries.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate mutation (readOnlyHint=false, idempotentHint=true). Description adds details on what changes are made (remove opt-out, mark active), but does not cover error conditions or other side effects.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences with no waste. The first sentence clearly states the action and trigger, the second explains the underlying changes. Front-loaded and efficient.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity and presence of output schema (not shown but referenced), the description adequately explains the purpose and effect. Could mention prerequisites or error cases, but not critical for basic usage.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. Description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema's parameter descriptions. No explanation of how the parameters relate to the resubscription process.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses specific verb 'Resubscribe' and resource 'subscriber', and clearly states the effect: removes opt-out and marks active. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'unsubscribe_subscriber' or 'update_subscriber'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
It provides context 'after renewed opt-in', but lacks explicit guidance on when not to use this tool or alternatives. No mention of prerequisites like subscriber must be previously unsubscribed.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Description adds important behavioral details beyond annotations: 'Immediately disable the current and every previous feed URL' (confirms destructive hint) and 'Existing readers must subscribe again' (new behavioral context). No contradictions with annotations 'destructiveHint=true' and 'idempotentHint=true'.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, front-loaded with the main action, no fluff. Every sentence adds value: first states the effect, second the consequence for users.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the presence of annotations (idempotent, destructive hints) and an output schema (not shown but exists), the description covers the key behavioral effect and result (replacement URL). Could briefly mention that the operation returns the new feed URL, but completeness is adequate.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with descriptions for both parameters (audience_id, idempotency_key). The description adds no extra meaning about parameters, so baseline score of 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The title 'Revoke Audience Feed URLs' and description clearly state the action (disable all previous feed URLs and return a replacement), distinguishing it from siblings like 'rotate_audience_feed' by emphasizing that previous URLs are invalidated.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'rotate_audience_feed' or 'update_audience_feed'. The description implies invalidation of all previous feeds but does not compare or contrast with sibling tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations declare destructiveHint=true and idempotentHint=true. The description does not mention any side effects or idempotency behavior. It adds the condition of user approval but lacks disclosure about real send actions or potential costs. Annotations partially cover safety, but description misses an opportunity to clarify destructive nature.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences efficiently state the action and when to use it. No redundancy—every word adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description covers the basic purpose and usage condition, but omits behavioral details like side effects (destructive) and error cases. Output schema exists, so return values are not required. However, for a test send tool, more context about its real impact would improve completeness.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 67%, with 'recipient_email' lacking description. The tool description does not explain parameters beyond implying a single recipient. It adds no format or syntax details, leaving the agent dependent on the schema alone.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action: 'Send a newsletter test email to one recipient.' It specifies the resource (newsletter test) and scope (one recipient), distinguishing it from sibling tools like shipmail_send_message or shipmail_schedule_newsletter.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly says 'Use only after the user has approved the exact draft and recipient.' This provides clear when-to-use guidance. Although it doesn't mention alternatives, the context implies test-only usage.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare idempotentHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the description adds little beyond stating the update. It does not disclose retry behavior, partial update semantics, or error conditions, but does not contradict annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
A single concise sentence conveys the essential information with no redundancy or unnecessary words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple update of two fields with an output schema and annotations, the description is largely sufficient. It could mention that the id is required, but the schema covers that.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 50% (id and idempotency_key have descriptions; name and description do not). The description lists the updatable fields (name or description) but adds no constraints (e.g., maxLength, nullability). Baseline of 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description explicitly states 'Update a newsletter audience's name or description,' clearly indicating the verb and the specific fields that can be modified. This clearly distinguishes it from siblings like create_audience or delete_audience.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., updating the newsletter itself). The description only states the action without context on prerequisites or when not to use it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already mark it as read-only and non-destructive. The description adds value by stating the delivery includes 'payload and replay source', providing useful context about what the response contains. No contradictions.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence, front-loaded with action and resource, no filler words. Efficient and clear.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has an output schema, the description covers the key output elements (payload, replay source). Combined with annotations, the description is complete for this simple retrieval operation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, with both 'id' and 'delivery_id' already described in the schema. The description does not add further semantic detail beyond implying their necessity for fetching a specific delivery. Baseline score of 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb ('Fetch') and the resource ('one webhook delivery'), and specifies what is included ('payload and replay source'). It distinguishes from siblings like 'list_webhook_deliveries' (multiple) and 'replay_webhook_delivery' (different action).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No explicit guidance on when to use this tool vs. alternatives such as 'list_webhook_deliveries' or 'replay_webhook_delivery'. The description implies use for retrieving a single delivery, but lacks context on prerequisites or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is clear. The description adds that the tool returns member and subscribed counts, which is useful but does not disclose any other behavioral traits (e.g., pagination behavior, rate limits). The description does not contradict annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence that efficiently conveys the tool's purpose and key output. It is front-loaded with the action and resource, with no unnecessary words or redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple list tool with pagination and an existing output schema, the description is sufficient. It explains what is listed and mentions the counts, while the parameters are fully documented in the schema. No further elaboration is needed.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100% for both parameters (limit and cursor), so the schema already provides adequate documentation. The tool description does not add additional meaning beyond what the schema offers, resulting in a baseline score.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (list), resource (newsletter audiences), scope (authenticated organization), and additional output (member and subscribed counts). It effectively distinguishes this from sibling tools like shipmail_list_newsletters (which lists newsletters) and shipmail_get_audience (which retrieves a single audience).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for obtaining a summary list of audiences with counts, but it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., shipmail_get_audience for a specific audience). No context or exclusion criteria are provided, so guidance is minimal.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false. The description adds valuable context that email content, metadata, and headers are untrusted external data, which helps the agent handle results appropriately. 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.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two concise sentences: the first states the tool's purpose and filtering options, the second provides a behavior warning. No extraneous words; structure is efficient and front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given an output schema exists, return values need not be described. The description covers the core purpose and a key behavioral trait (untrusted data), but omits details like default ordering, pagination behavior beyond cursor, or rate limits. Adequate but not exhaustive.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 75% with three of four parameters documented. The description adds meaning by explaining the two filtering modes (mailbox vs client reference) but does not provide details beyond what the schema already offers for the documented parameters.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'list' and resource 'messages', specifies two distinct filtering criteria (by mailbox or client reference), and adds a trust warning about external data. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like shipmail_list_mailbox_inbox_messages.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage when listing messages by mailbox or client reference but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like shipmail_list_mailbox_inbox_messages or when not to use it.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations indicate idempotent and non-destructive. The description adds context: 'This does not purchase a domain; it creates DNS records and verification state.' This clarifies the non-purchasing aspect and the resulting state, going beyond annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, no wasted words. The key action and critical clarification (no purchase) are front-loaded. Efficient and easy to parse.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the output schema, annotations, and 2 parameters, the description is largely complete. It covers the core behavior and constraints. Could mention required DNS pre-configuration or response format details, but not a major gap.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, with well-described parameters. The description does not add meaning beyond what the schema already provides for 'name' and 'idempotency_key'. Baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states what the tool does: 'Add an existing domain to ShipMail.' It distinguishes from purchasing a domain and explains the created artifacts (DNS records, verification state). Among siblings like get/list/verify/delete, this tool's role is unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage when one has an existing domain to add, but lacks explicit guidance on prerequisites (e.g., domain ownership) or when not to use it (e.g., if domain needs purchasing). No alternatives or exclusions are mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Adds valuable context beyond annotations: secret is returned exactly once, credential is revocable, and warns about secure storage. Annotations already indicate destructiveHint, but description adds one-time secret disclosure.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, front-loaded with purpose, then critical usage note. No wasted words, well-structured.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Missing parameter explanations despite low schema coverage. Has output schema so return values are covered. The warning about one-time secret is important, but parameter semantics gap reduces completeness.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 25% (only id described). Description adds no parameter-level details for name, expires_at, allowed_cidrs. Fails to compensate for low coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool creates a revocable mailbox credential for email clients. The verb 'Create' and resource 'mailbox app password' are specific and distinguish from siblings like revoke or list.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Provides important usage guidance: secret returned once, call only after explicit operator approval, store securely. Implies sensitivity and need for caution, but doesn't explicitly state when to use vs alternatives.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity (12 parameters, nested objects, two styling modes), the description adequately covers the core concept and styling behavior. However, it omits context for several parameters (e.g., audience_id, idempotency_key) beyond what the schema provides, making it feel incomplete for a first-time user.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 50% schema description coverage, the description adds high-level context about media, tone, and final CTA, but does not detail specific parameters like audience_id, sender_identity_id, or the structure of entries. It partially compensates but relies heavily on the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it creates a newsletter draft specifically from changelog entries, with media, tone, and optional final CTA. This distinctively separates it from general newsletter creation tools like shipmail_create_newsletter.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint (safe read). The description adds valuable context: the download URL expires in at most five minutes, which is crucial for the agent to handle the response appropriately. No contradiction.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two short sentences, no fluff. The first sentence immediately states the action, and the second adds critical behavioral detail. Every word earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the simplicity of the tool (two required string params, output schema exists), the description covers the core purpose and a key behavior (expiring URL). It could mention status values, but for a read operation this is sufficient.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents both parameters (id, export_id). The description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema provides, earning the baseline 3.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it reads a mailbox export job, distinguishing it from create and list operations. It specifies the key result: a private download URL that expires. This is specific and differentiates from 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 Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like list or create. While it implies usage after creating an export, it lacks explicit guidance on when not to use it or how it differs from similar tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already mark readOnlyHint=true. The description adds value by specifying 'live progress counters' and 'per-folder report', which are behavioral traits beyond safety. No contradictions.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence, front-loaded with the verb 'Fetch', zero wasted words. It efficiently conveys purpose and unique features.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Annotations already indicate the tool is not read-only, not destructive, and idempotent. The description adds minimal extra behavioral context beyond stating it resumes delivery; it does not describe side effects or prerequisites beyond confirmation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is exceptionally concise: two short sentences that convey the purpose and a usage note. No extraneous information, perfectly front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the presence of output schema, annotations, and full schema coverage, the description is sufficient. It provides the essential context for a simple resume action and includes a cautionary note, though it lacks details about what happens after resumption.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema covers both parameters with detailed descriptions (pattern, optionality). The tool description adds no additional parameter meaning, so the score is at baseline as per guidelines.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Resume') and the resource ('a paused newsletter delivery'). It distinguishes from sibling tools like cancel_newsletter or schedule_newsletter by specifically targeting paused deliveries.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description includes the guideline 'Use only after confirming delivery should continue,' which advises when to use the tool. However, it does not explicitly mention when not to use it or provide alternatives, leaving room for improvement.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description adds value beyond annotations by stating the revocation is permanent and the client loses access immediately. While annotations already indicate destructiveness, the description clarifies the impact. It does not mention idempotency or error states, but the idempotentHint=true annotation covers that aspect.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, well-structured sentence that conveys the essential information immediately. No unnecessary words or redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a single-action revoke tool with two required parameters and an output schema, the description is sufficient to explain the core functionality and immediate effect. It lacks mention of error conditions or prerequisites, but the simplicity of the tool makes it adequate.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema already provides full descriptions for both parameters (id and app_password_id), covering 100% of schema description. The tool description does not add further parameter-specific semantics, which is acceptable given the schema's thoroughness. Baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('permanently revoke') and the resource ('one mailbox app password'). It also specifies the consequence ('associated client will lose access immediately'), making it easy for an agent to understand the tool's purpose and distinguish it from sibling tools like create or list.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies the tool is used when an app password needs to be revoked, but it does not explicitly provide context on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., deleting mailbox, resetting password). No exclusion criteria or prerequisites are mentioned, though the general usage is clear.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations indicate idempotentHint=true and destructiveHint=false, suggesting safe retries and non-destructive behavior. The description adds that enabling/disabling and updating are possible, but does not clarify whether omitted fields are preserved or reset. 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.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
A single sentence efficiently summarizes the tool's capabilities, front-loading key actions. No redundant or filler content.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the output schema, return values are documented elsewhere. The description covers main use cases but could mention that the tool performs partial updates (fields not specified remain unchanged) and note the required audience_id parameter.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description groups parameters semantically (public metadata, entry limit, enable/disable), providing context beyond the schema's 40% coverage. It explains the purpose of each category, aiding understanding of what each parameter does.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: enable/disable an audience's Atom feed, update metadata, canonical URL, and set entry limit. This distinguishes it from siblings like shipmail_get_audience_feed (read-only) and shipmail_update_audience (general audience update).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies use when updating feed settings but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., shipmail_update_audience for non-feed updates) or conditions for disabling vs. enabling. No 'when-not-to-use' guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description discloses key behavioral traits beyond annotations: omitted fields remain unchanged, and sending null clears specific fields. This adds value over the annotations (destructiveHint, idempotentHint) by explaining partial update semantics.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two sentences, front-loaded with the action and resource. Every sentence carries essential information without redundancy. No wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the presence of an output schema and annotations, the description adequately covers the update behavior and null semantics. It explains the most important nuance for a mutation tool. Missing details about all parameters are partially mitigated by the comprehensive input schema.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is low (17%), but the description adds generic semantics about null clearing for certain fields. However, it does not detail individual parameter meanings beyond that. The null behavior information helps but is not comprehensive for all 18 parameters.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Update') and resource ('a calendar event'), and distinguishes from sibling tools like create/delete by specifying update semantics. The verb+resource combination is specific and unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage by stating 'Omitted fields are unchanged; send null to clear...', which provides context for updating vs. creating. However, it lacks explicit when-to-use/when-not-to-use guidance or mention of prerequisites (e.g., event must exist).
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate idempotentHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the description's statement about setting read/starred states adds some value beyond structured data. No contradictions; behavioral disclosure is adequate but not enriched further.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has an output schema (implied by context), the description effectively covers the batch limit, opt-in type, and return behavior. For a 3-parameter tool with clear annotations, this is complete and sufficient.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 67%, with some fields having descriptions. The description adds no additional parameter semantics beyond what the schema provides; it only restates the batch size limit. A baseline of 3 is appropriate as the description does not compensate for the missing parameter descriptions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly specifies the verb 'Add', the resource 'subscribers to an audience', the batch limit 'up to 1000', the opt-in type 'single opt-in', and the return behavior 'per-row outcome'. It distinguishes from the sibling tool `shipmail_add_subscriber` by emphasizing the batch nature.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given there is an output schema, the description does not need to explain return values. It covers the core behavior (consumption, single-use, secret return, operator notification) and usage condition. However, the lack of parameter descriptions slightly reduces completeness, but overall sufficient.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is only 25% (only grant_id has a description). The description does not explain the other parameters (name, expires_at, allowed_cidrs), so it fails to compensate for the low schema coverage. The description adds minimal parameter meaning beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Consume an operator-approved, single-use grant and issue an embedded-webmail credential'), including the verb 'consume' and the resource 'grant'. It distinguishes this tool from sibling tools like shipmail_list_partner_mailbox_credential_grants by focusing on consumption rather than listing.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description specifies 'Call only after explicit partner approval', providing a clear condition for use. It does not explicitly state alternatives or when not to use it, but the single-use nature implies it should not be called multiple times for the same grant.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations indicate idempotentHint=true and destructiveHint=false, and the description aligns by stating it creates a draft (non-destructive). It adds context: Shipmail renders blocks to email-safe HTML/text, and drafts must pass preflight before scheduling. The differentiation between 'styled' and 'plain' styling is explained, providing behavioral insight beyond annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
While the description covers core creation workflow (body content, styling, preflight requirement), it omits guidance on several parameters (e.g., preview_text, send_window_hours, archive_visibility). Given the tool's complexity (12 parameters, 4 required) and the existence of an output schema, the description is partially complete but leaves gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With schema description coverage at 50%, the description adds meaning by grouping body content parameters (blocks, body_html, body_text) and clarifying the requirement for at least one. However, it does not explain other parameters like preview_text, send_window_hours, or archive_visibility, which remain undocumented in both schema and description.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Create a newsletter draft for an audience and sender identity,' specifying verb, resource, and scope. It distinguishes from sibling tools like shipmail_update_newsletter or shipmail_schedule_newsletter by emphasizing draft creation and the need for preflight before scheduling.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides guidance on when to use this tool: it says to prefer blocks for body content and requires at least one of blocks, body_html, or body_text. It also mentions post-creation steps (preflight, scheduling), implying alternatives like shipmail_update_newsletter for editing or shipmail_preview_newsletter for previewing.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false. The description adds value by listing the specific outputs (email HTML, archive HTML, text, warnings, URL breakdown), providing context beyond what annotations convey.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence (17 words) that front-loads the verb and resource. Every word earns its place; no redundancy or unnecessary information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With a simple single-parameter input schema and an existing output schema, the description adequately lists the output components. It provides sufficient context for an AI agent to understand what the tool does and its role among siblings.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% and the only parameter 'id' is described in the schema as 'Newsletter ID.' The tool description does not add additional meaning or format details beyond what the schema provides, so a baseline score of 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses the specific verb 'Render' and clearly states the resource 'newsletter draft' and the multiple output formats (sanitized email HTML, archive HTML, text, warnings, counted URL breakdown). This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like run_newsletter_preflight or send_newsletter_test.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies the tool is for previewing drafts but does not explicitly state when to use it versus alternatives like run_newsletter_preflight or when not to use it. No prerequisites or exclusions are mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already provide readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true. Description adds no further behavioral context beyond stating 'run preflight checks', which aligns with annotations. No contradiction.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence of 10 words that immediately conveys purpose. No wasted words; optimally concise and front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given that output_schema exists, the description need not cover return values. The brief description suffices for a straightforward preflight check tool with clear timing and no complex behavior.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Input schema fully documents both parameters (id and idempotency_key) with descriptions. The tool description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, achieving baseline score.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states 'Run preflight checks for one newsletter before test sending or scheduling.' Specific verb (run preflight checks) and resource (newsletter), with contextual timing (before test sending/scheduling) that distinguishes from siblings like send_newsletter_test.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly mentions when to use ('before test sending or scheduling'), implying it's a prerequisite step. Does not list alternatives or exclusions, but the context is clear among siblings.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false; the description reinforces this with 'read-only and does not purchase anything', adding useful context beyond annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two concise sentences, front-loaded with purpose, no unnecessary words or repetition.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple search tool with one parameter, output schema exists, and annotations cover safety; the description provides sufficient information for correct invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with a clear type and description for keyword. The description adds 'Keyword or domain name to search' which mirrors the schema; baseline 3 is appropriate as it doesn't add new meaning.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb (Search) and resource (available domains) and distinguishes from sibling tools like shipmail_list_domains (which lists owned domains) by specifying 'available domains' and adding that it's read-only.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Implied usage for checking domain availability before purchase, but no explicit guidance on when to use versus alternatives (e.g., list_domains, get_domain) or when not to use it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations indicate idempotent and non-destructive write. The description adds context about threshold effect (stricter = lower values, messages at/above moved to junk) but doesn't disclose other behaviors like concurrency or confirmation. 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.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
One sentence that efficiently conveys purpose and parameter effect with no extraneous words. Front-loaded with the action and resource, then explains the threshold semantics.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple setter with an output schema and annotations, the description covers the essential information: what it does, the key parameter behavior, and the lack of destructiveness. No gaps for the agent to make informed decisions.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description adds meaning to the threshold parameter (explaining lower is stricter and what the threshold controls), which is absent in the schema. For id, the schema already provides a description. This adds value beyond the schema, especially for the critical parameter.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (set), the resource (mailbox spam filter), and the key parameter (threshold). It explains the meaning of lower vs higher values. Among sibling tools, none set a spam filter, making it highly distinct.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it mention prerequisites or exclusions. For a simple setter, the implied usage (when you need to adjust spam sensitivity) is clear, but lacking guidance for context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description adds significant behavioral context beyond annotations: it explains what is blocked and that the suspension is reversible ('until the manual suspension is removed'). This complements the idempotentHint=true annotation and does not contradict any annotation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise—two sentences that are front-loaded with the action and then explain the consequences. Every sentence adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity (suspend with idempotency), the description covers the essential behavior. An output schema exists but need not be described. Parameters are fully documented in the schema, so no gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so the description does not need to add parameter detail. It does not provide any extra meaning beyond what the input schema already describes for 'id' and 'idempotency_key'.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('suspend a mailbox') and specifies exactly what is blocked (authentication, sending, receiving, Assistant automation). It distinguishes from sibling tools like shipmail_resume_mailbox and shipmail_delete_mailbox by describing the reversible suspension behavior.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
While the effect is clear, there is no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description implies usage for blocking mailbox functions without deleting, but does not mention when not to use it or suggest other tools like shipmail_delete_mailbox for permanent removal.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already mark destructive and idempotent. Description adds the specific cancellable states and the irrevocability for sent messages, providing useful behavioral context beyond annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare idempotentHint=true and destructiveHint=false. The description adds that it updates name or mailbox allocation, which is consistent. However, no additional behavioral traits (e.g., side effects, auth needs) are disclosed beyond what annotations provide, making the description adequate but not rich.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence of 9 words, front-loading the verb 'Update' and specifying the resource. Every word is necessary, with no redundancy or irrelevant detail.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has an output schema (not shown), the description does not need to explain return values. It covers the essential purpose and fields. However, it could mention that the update is partial (only provided fields are changed), though this is implicit from the description's wording.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With schema description coverage at 50%, the description compensates by naming the updateable fields ('name or mailbox allocation'), which correspond to the two parameters without schema descriptions. This adds meaning beyond the schema, though further details (e.g., constraints on name length) are not provided.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Update' and the resource 'operator organization,' listing the updatable fields ('name or mailbox allocation'). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like create, get, list, suspend, resume, and offboard, which have different purposes.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides clear context that this tool is for updating an existing partner organization. Although it does not explicitly list when not to use it or alternatives, the purpose is unambiguous enough for an agent to infer appropriate usage.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description adds valuable behavioral context beyond annotations: it clarifies that the tool cancels future scheduled messages or undoes a hold, and that cancellation is impossible after dispatch starts. Annotations already indicate destructiveness and idempotency, so this is not contradictory.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise with two sentences. The first sentence states the action, and the second provides a critical constraint. No unnecessary words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the simplicity of the tool (cancel a scheduled message) and the presence of an output schema, the description fully covers what the agent needs to know: what it does and the key limitation (cannot cancel after dispatch).
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so the description does not need to add parameter details. The description does not repeat or expand on parameter meanings beyond the schema, which is acceptable but not exceptional.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb 'Cancel' or 'undo hold' and clearly identifies the resource as 'future scheduled message'. It distinguishes this tool from siblings like 'update_scheduled_message' by specifying the timing constraint ('before dispatch begins').

- Behavior5/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Beyond annotations, the description adds crucial behavioral details: the URL is temporary (five-minute expiry), one-time use, and bound to exact mailbox_id, filename, content_type, size, and sha256. It also warns against common misuse (base64 encoding). No contradictions 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.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise with just two sentences. The first sentence defines the core purpose, and the second provides the workflow and a critical warning. No unnecessary text.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (5 params, one-time upload, output schema exists), the description covers the full workflow: create URL, upload bytes, get ID, pass to send message. It could briefly mention the expected HTTP method for upload (implied POST), but it's sufficient for correct agent use.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is only 20% (mailbox_id has a description). The description lists all five required parameters and explains they are bound to the upload URL, adding context. However, it does not provide detailed format or constraint information beyond what the schema offers, so it only partially compensates for low coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool creates a five-minute, one-time raw upload URL, bound to specific file properties. It distinguishes from sibling tools by outlining the attachment upload workflow, including the subsequent step of using the returned ID with shipmail_send_message.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly says when to use the tool (preparing an upload) and provides a clear warning against using base64 file bytes. It also instructs the next step (pass ID to shipmail_send_message). However, it does not explicitly name alternative tools for uploading, though none exist in the sibling list.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already mark it as destructive and not read-only; the description adds behavioural context by stating 'replace every' and 'preserve any rules that should remain', which clarifies the full replacement nature. 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.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences with no superfluous text. The first sentence states the action, the second provides critical operational guidance. Every word earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a tool with a complex nested input schema, the description provides essential operational context (fetch-first, replace-all) that compensates for the schema's detail. The presence of an output schema further reduces the need to describe return values.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema covers 67% of parameters with descriptions, but the description adds semantic guidance by explaining that the 'rules' parameter should contain the final set of rules and that existing rules should be fetched and preserved. This adds meaning beyond the schema itself.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Replace' and the resource 'every deterministic server-side inbox rule for a mailbox'. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like 'shipmail_get_mailbox_rules' by indicating a write operation and providing a prerequisite step.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly instructs the agent to call shipmail_get_mailbox_rules first and preserve any rules that should remain, which serves as a clear when-to-use and how-to-use guide. However, it does not explicitly state alternatives or when not to use it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior5/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description adds value beyond annotations by explaining that already imported mail remains and restarting resumes without duplicates. This aligns with destructiveHint=true and idempotentHint=true, and provides additional context about side effects.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two succinct sentences cover purpose, behavior, and key effects with no wasted words. Ideal conciseness for an API tool.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given annotations (destructive, idempotent) and an output schema, the description provides complete operational context: what happens to existing data, and the idempotency for future restarts. No gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100% with clear parameter descriptions. The tool description does not add extra parameter semantics beyond what the schema already provides, so baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool cancels a running import, with specific behavioral details about retained mail and duplicate-free restart. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like create_mailbox_import and undo_mailbox_import.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage when an import is running and should be stopped, but does not explicitly contrast with alternatives or provide when-not-to-use guidance. The context is clear but lacks exclusion criteria.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate idempotent and non-destructive write. Description adds context about avoiding duplicate sibling names, which is a useful behavioral hint. It does not contradict annotations and enhances transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences: first states purpose, second provides usage hint. No redundancy, front-loaded, and every sentence adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the simple tool (4 params, 3 required, output schema exists), the description covers what the tool does, how to use it correctly (list folders first), and basic behavior. Combined with annotations, it is complete enough for the agent to invoke correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so parameters are well-documented there. The description adds minimal parameter-specific info beyond schema, but the mention of 'subfolder' and 'root folder' contextualizes parent_id usage. Baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states 'Create a custom folder or subfolder for a mailbox.' It specifies the action (create) and resource (custom folder/subfolder), and distinguishes from sibling tools like update and delete by suggesting use of shipmail_list_mailbox_folders.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines5/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly tells when to use this tool (to create folder/subfolder) and provides direct guidance: 'Use shipmail_list_mailbox_folders first to choose a parent and avoid duplicate sibling names.' This helps the agent select the right tool and prepare.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior5/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Beyond the annotations (destructiveHint=true), the description adds valuable behavioral details: cascading deletion of subscribers and that newsletters retain their history. This provides a clearer operational expectation than annotations alone.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description consists of two concise sentences, front-loading the action and then detailing consequences. Every sentence adds value without redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the availability of an output schema, the description covers essential aspects: purpose, destructive behavior, and side effects. It is complete for the tool's complexity and provides sufficient guidance for safe invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Both parameters (id and idempotency_key) are fully described in the input schema (100% coverage). The description does not add extra meaning or context beyond what the schema already provides, so a baseline score of 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Delete'), the resource ('newsletter audience'), and adds critical context about cascading deletion of subscribers and preservation of newsletters. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like create_audience or update_audience.

Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly warns about the destructive nature and cascading effect on subscribers, guiding the agent to use caution. However, it does not mention alternative tools (e.g., remove_subscriber) for when deletion is not intended.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate destructiveHint=true and idempotentHint=true. Description adds important behavioral context: deletion is permanent and applies only to messages in Trash or Junk. 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.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two concise sentences with no wasted words. First sentence defines purpose and precondition; second sentence provides guidance on alternative tool. Effectively front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the description adds specific context about checking health and version. No behavioral surprises; agent can expect a safe, non-destructive operation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence with no fluff. Every word is meaningful: 'Check', 'ShipMail API health and version', 'before starting a workflow'.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no parameters, presence of output schema, and clear annotations, the description is complete. It tells the agent what to do and when to do it.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
No parameters exist, so the schema covers 100%. The description does not need to add parameter details; baseline for zero parameters is 4.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly says 'before starting a workflow', giving clear usage context. Does not exclude other uses or mention alternatives, but for a health check tool this is sufficient.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior5/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Beyond annotations (readOnlyHint=false, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false), the description adds important behavioral details: concurrent save returns 409, blocks are preferred, body_text acts as plain-text override when blocks exist, and explains the styling modes ('styled' vs 'plain') with concrete implications.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is five sentences with no superfluous words. It front-loads the purpose and then provides essential guidelines and behaviors. Every sentence contributes value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (13 parameters, nested blocks), the description covers usage, behavior, and parameter semantics well. It does not explain the return value, but the presence of an output schema likely handles that. Overall, it is sufficiently complete for an AI agent to use correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description adds significant meaning for key parameters like blocks (prefer blocks, interaction with body_text) and styling_mode (detailed explanation of 'styled' vs 'plain'). However, it does not elaborate on other parameters like id, name, subject, etc., though the schema provides minimal descriptions. Schema coverage is 54%, so the description compensates partially.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
