Create Booking Page

shipmail_create_booking_page
Idempotent

Create a booking page that exposes a mailbox's available time slots for scheduling appointments, with configurable duration, days, time window, and timezone.

Instructions

Create a booking page exposing one mailbox's availability. availability_days is 0=Sunday..6=Saturday. conferencing_provider is opt-in and must already be connected to the mailbox.

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.

Conciseness4/5

Is 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.

Completeness2/5

Given 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.

Parameters2/5

Does 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.

Purpose5/5

Does 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 Guidelines3/5

Does 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.
