toolport_call_tool

Call a discovered tool by passing its exact name and all required arguments per its input schema.

Instructions

Invoke a tool discovered via toolport_search_tools. Pass the tool's exact name (as returned by the search) and put ALL of that tool's parameters INSIDE the arguments object (matching its input schema) - not at the top level next to name. Never invent or guess an identifier (teamId, accountId, projectId, etc.): if a required value isn't known, first call a list or get tool on the SAME server to obtain it, then call this with the real value.

Behavior3/5

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It describes invocation but doesn't clarify side effects (read-only vs write), return value, or error behavior. Adequate but lacks depth for a call tool.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Three sentences, no fluff, purpose first, then structural detail, then caution. Efficient and front-loaded.

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

Completeness4/5

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

Given simple parameters and no output schema, the description covers usage and pitfalls. However, it omits return value (implied by sibling tools) could be slightly more explicit.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema covers 100% of parameters, but description adds value by explaining the nesting of arguments and giving context about not inventing identifiers, which helps agent avoid common mistakes.

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 it invokes a tool discovered via toolport_search_tools, with specific verb 'Invoke' and resource 'tool'. It distinguishes from sibling tools (toolport_search_tools, toolport_fetch_result, toolport_status) by its unique action.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicitly says when to use (after searching), how to structure arguments (inside `arguments` object), and what not to do (never invent identifiers). Provides fallback guidance to call list/get tools if needed.

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