Unmute a conference member

unmute_conference_member
DestructiveIdempotent

Unmute one or more members in a live Vobiz conference to restore their audio, reversing a previous mute so they can be heard again.

Instructions

Unmute members of a live Vobiz conference (DELETE /Conference/{name}/Member/{id}/Mute/) so the room can hear them again; the reverse of mute_conference_member. Unmuting a member who is not muted still succeeds. A room that is not running, or a member who already left, returns the not_found error.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
member_idYesConferenceMemberID from the ConferenceEnter callback (or get_conference), a comma-separated list such as 17,45,82, or `all` for every member.
conference_nameYesConference room name, exactly as used in the <Conference> XML element.

Output Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
okNoTrue on success; false when the result is an error (then error, message and retryable are set).
deafNoNew deaf state of the members (deafen and undeafen tools only).
mutedNoNew mute state of the members (mute and unmute tools only).
member_idNoMembers the action was applied to: the literal "all", or the list of member IDs as Vobiz echoed them (or as requested).
http_statusNoHTTP status Vobiz answered with (202 = accepted, 204 = done).
backend_messageNoVobiz's own status message, or null.
conference_nameNoRoom the action was applied to.

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare the mutation and idempotency profile, but the description adds genuinely new behavioral detail: unmuting a non-muted member still succeeds, and a stopped room or departed member yields not_found. These edge-case outcomes go beyond the structured hints.

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?

A single front-loaded sentence with the operation and endpoint first, then the sibling relationship, then edge-case behavior. Every clause carries information; nothing is padded.

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

Completeness5/5

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

With an output schema present, return values need not be described, and the description covers the mutation, its idempotency, and its failure mode. An agent has everything needed to call it correctly.

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 100%, with both parameters fully documented including the 'all' and comma-list formats for member_id. The description adds no syntax or format meaning beyond the schema, so the baseline 3 applies.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Unmute members of a live Vobiz conference') and pins the exact endpoint, so the operation is unambiguous. It explicitly frames itself as 'the reverse of mute_conference_member,' cleanly distinguishing it from that sibling.

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?

The 'reverse of mute_conference_member' framing gives the agent clear context for when this tool applies and how it pairs with its sibling. It stops short of naming alternatives such as undeafen_conference_member or stating when-not to use it, so it falls short of a full when/when-not/alternatives treatment.

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