π Advanced Usage
Search Query Syntax
Zendesk search supports powerful query operators:
# Status-based searches
status:open status:pending status:solved
# Priority searches
priority:urgent priority:high priority:normal priority:low
# Date-based searches
created>2024-01-01 updated<2024-01-31
# Tag searches
tags:billing tags:technical-issue
# Requester searches
requester:customer@company.com
# Complex combinations
status:open priority:high created>2024-01-01 tags:billingBatch Operations
While the server doesn't directly support batch operations, you can chain commands:
"Search for all urgent tickets, then show me details for the first 3 results"
"Find tickets tagged 'billing', update them to normal priority, and add a note about the billing system maintenance"π€ Contributing

Available Tools
7 toolszendesk_add_private_noteC
Add a private internal note to a Zendesk ticket
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| note | Yes | The content of the private note | |
| ticket_id | Yes | The ID of the ticket to add a note to |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, and the description fails to disclose behavioral traits such as permissions required, side effects, constraints (e.g., ticket status), or whether the note is appended. It only states the basic action.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single short sentence, concise and front-loaded. However, it may be too terse, sacrificing completeness for brevity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity (2 params, no output schema, no annotations), the description provides the core purpose but lacks context about ticket state requirements, visibility, or usage notes. It is adequate but not comprehensive.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, which already provides descriptions for both parameters. No extra context is given.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (add) and the resource (private internal note to a Zendesk ticket). It implicitly distinguishes from the sibling 'zendesk_add_public_note' by specifying 'private', but does not explicitly differentiate.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does 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 public note or update ticket. The description lacks context on appropriate scenarios or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
zendesk_add_public_noteB
Add a public comment to a Zendesk ticket
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| comment | Yes | The content of the public comment | |
| ticket_id | Yes | The ID of the ticket to add a comment to |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description should disclose behavioral traits. It fails to mention side effects, permissions, or whether comments are appended. The description is too minimal.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence with no wasted words. However, it could be slightly expanded to include key context without losing conciseness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the simple operation and no output schema, the description is adequate but lacks mention of return values or error conditions, leaving some gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so parameters are already well-defined. The description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema, resulting in a baseline score.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Add' and the resource 'public comment to a Zendesk ticket', distinguishing it from the sibling 'zendesk_add_private_note'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does 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 'zendesk_add_private_note' or prerequisites such as ticket existence. Usage is only implied.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
zendesk_create_ticketB
Create a new Zendesk ticket
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| description | Yes | The initial description or comment for the ticket | |
| priority | No | The priority of the ticket | |
| status | No | The status of the ticket | |
| subject | Yes | The subject of the ticket | |
| tags | No | Tags to add to the ticket | |
| type | No | The type of the ticket |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden but only states the action. Does not disclose that it is a write operation, requires authentication, or may have rate limits. The description is too minimal.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, efficient sentence with no waste. It is front-loaded and directly conveys the purpose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given 6 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is severely incomplete. It does not explain return values, error behavior, or optional versus required fields beyond what schema provides.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds no extra parameter meaning beyond the schema's own descriptions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Create a new Zendesk ticket' clearly states the verb (create) and resource (ticket), distinguishing it from sibling tools like update_ticket or get_ticket.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does 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 zendesk_update_ticket. Lacks context of prerequisites or constraints.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
zendesk_get_ticketC
Get a Zendesk ticket by ID
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| ticket_id | Yes | The ID of the ticket to retrieve |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description must carry full burden. It only states the basic function without mentioning any behavioral traits like return format, 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise: 'Get a Zendesk ticket by ID' is front-loaded and contains no unnecessary words or details.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple retrieval tool, the description is incomplete. It lacks information about the response structure, which is not covered by an output schema, and does not differentiate from similar sibling tools.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has only one parameter with a description, achieving 100% coverage. The description does not add extra meaning beyond what the schema already 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.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (Get) and resource (a Zendesk ticket by ID). However, among many sibling tools like 'get_ticket_details', 'get_ticket_audits', it does not differentiate what this specific tool returns versus those.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool over alternatives like 'get_ticket_details' or 'get_ticket_metrics'. The context of use is implied but not explicit.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
zendesk_get_ticket_detailsC
Get detailed information about a Zendesk ticket including comments
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| ticket_id | Yes | The ID of the ticket to retrieve details for |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It only states that the tool returns details including comments, but does not mention read-only nature, rate limits, or any side effects. This is insufficient for a 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, concise sentence that is clear and front-loaded. It could be slightly expanded to include more useful context without becoming verbose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity (one parameter, no output schema, no annotations), the description is incomplete. It does not specify what 'detailed information' includes beyond comments, such as status, priority, attachments, etc. More detail would aid accurate invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with a clear description for the single parameter 'ticket_id'. The tool description adds no 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.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool retrieves detailed information about a Zendesk ticket including comments. It uses a specific verb and resource, but does not differentiate itself from the sibling tool 'zendesk_get_ticket', which may have similar functionality.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does 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 like 'zendesk_get_ticket' or others. No use cases, 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.
zendesk_searchB
Search for Zendesk tickets based on a query
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| query | Yes | Search query (e.g., 'status:open', 'priority:urgent', 'tags:need_help') |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must disclose all behavioral traits. It only says 'Search for Zendesk tickets' without clarifying output format, pagination, rate limits, or whether it is read-only. This is insufficient for an agent to understand 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, concise sentence that clearly conveys the tool's purpose with no wasted words. It is front-loaded and easy to parse.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite the tool being simple with one parameter and no output schema, the description lacks critical context such as what the search returns (full tickets or summaries), pagination behavior, or any limitations. This leaves the agent underinformed.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% for the single parameter. The description adds value by providing example query syntax (e.g., 'status:open', 'tags:need_help'), which enhances understanding beyond the schema description.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it searches for Zendesk tickets based on a query, but it does not distinguish this from sibling tools like zendesk_search_by_brand and zendesk_search_by_field which have similar purposes.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does 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 zendesk_search_by_brand or zendesk_get_ticket. The description simply states what it does without context for appropriate usage.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
zendesk_update_ticketB
Update a Zendesk ticket's properties
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| assignee_id | No | The ID of the agent to assign the ticket to | |
| priority | No | The new priority of the ticket | |
| status | No | The new status of the ticket | |
| subject | No | The new subject of the ticket | |
| tags | No | Tags to set on the ticket (replaces existing tags) | |
| ticket_id | Yes | The ID of the ticket to update | |
| type | No | The new type of the ticket |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so the description must fully disclose behavioral traits. It fails to mention critical details like whether updates are partial or replace values, required permissions, idempotency, or side effects (e.g., notifications).
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
A single, concise sentence with no wasted words. All content is relevant and to the point.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite 7 parameters and no output schema, the description provides no information about return values, partial update behavior, or restrictions. It is inadequate for a mutation tool with no annotations.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, and the description adds no meaning beyond the schema's parameter descriptions. It simply restates 'update properties' without elaborating on how parameters interact (e.g., tags replace existing tags). Baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Update a Zendesk ticket's properties' uses a specific verb ('Update') and resource ('ticket properties'), clearly distinguishing it from sibling tools like 'zendesk_create_ticket' and 'zendesk_get_ticket'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does 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 (e.g., adding notes via 'zendesk_add_public_note'). Usage is implied by the name and context, but the description lacks exclusions or prerequisites.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
Scored across 7 tools
Most tools have distinct purposes, but there is notable overlap between 'zendesk_get_ticket' and 'zendesk_get_ticket_details'βboth retrieve ticket information, which could confuse agents about which to use for basic vs. detailed data. The other tools are clearly differentiated by their actions (create, update, search, add notes).
All tool names follow a consistent 'zendesk_verb_noun' pattern with snake_case, using clear verbs like 'add', 'create', 'get', 'search', and 'update'. This predictability makes it easy for agents to understand and navigate the toolset.
With 7 tools, the server is well-scoped for managing Zendesk tickets, covering core operations like create, read, update, search, and adding notes. This count is appropriate, avoiding bloat while providing essential functionality for the domain.
The toolset covers key CRUD and lifecycle aspects for Zendesk tickets, including creation, retrieval, updating, searching, and adding notes. A minor gap is the lack of a tool to delete tickets, but this is often intentional in support systems, and agents can work around it.
