Create a sequence

create_sequence
Destructive

Create a new email sequence for subscriber automation. Requires confirm=true as it may change delivery, audience membership, or published data.

Instructions

Create a sequence. May affect delivery, audience membership, published data or irreversible state. Requires confirm=true.

TDQS

A3.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true, readOnlyHint=false and idempotentHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds real value beyond that by naming the blast radius — delivery, audience membership, published data, irreversible state — and restating the confirm gate, which is exactly the kind of context an agent should weigh before a destructive call.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two short sentences, zero filler, with the risk warning and the confirm requirement front-loaded. Nothing is padded or repeated.

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

Completeness3/5

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

For a 14-parameter, destructive, nested-object tool with no output schema, the description covers consequences and the confirm gate but omits sibling routing and the mutual exclusivity between payload, individual body flags, and payload_file that the schema mentions. It is adequate given 93% schema coverage and strong annotations, but leaves real gaps.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 93% across 14 parameters, so the schema already documents name, active, send_days, time_zone, payload_file and the rest. The description adds no parameter detail beyond echoing the confirm requirement that the schema itself already explains. Baseline 3 applies when the schema does the heavy lifting.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource ("Create a sequence"), which is unambiguous on its own. However, it does nothing to distinguish itself from the many sibling sequence tools (create_sequence_email, update_sequence, delete_sequence, add_subscriber_to_sequence), so an agent still has to reason about scope from the name alone.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The only guidance is the confirm=true prerequisite, which is a precondition rather than a when-to-use/when-not instruction. There is no mention of when to choose this over update_sequence or create_sequence_email, and no stated context about when creating a sequence is appropriate.

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