Reassign task

task.assign
Destructive

Reassign a task to a different user. Requires explicit user authorization as the transfer is irreversible.

Instructions

Transfer assignment to another user. Typically IRREVERSIBLE — once transferred the previous assignee may lose access. Never call without explicit user instruction. userExplicitlyRequested MUST be true.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
idYes
assigneeIdYes
userExplicitlyRequestedYesMust be true. Attests that the user explicitly asked for this reassignment.
kindYesWhich of the three R1 patterns this is.
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations indicate destructiveHint=true; description expands on this by noting irreversibility and potential access loss for previous assignee. 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.

Conciseness5/5

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

Three sentences: purpose, behavioral warning, usage rule. No unnecessary text, front-loaded with essential information.

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?

Covers irreversible nature and usage constraint, but does not explain kind parameter or return behavior. However, given annotations and schema enums, it is sufficient for safe agent use.

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?

Description does not add meaning beyond schema for id and assigneeId; only reiterates the const on userExplicitlyRequested already in schema. With 50% coverage, description fails to compensate for undocumented parameters.

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?

Clearly states the verb 'transfer assignment' and resource, distinguishing from sibling tools. Includes important behavioral note about irreversibility.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Explicitly states that it should only be called with explicit user instruction and that userExplicitlyRequested must be true. Does not mention alternatives but provides sufficient contextual guidance.

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