rollback

Destructive

Abort a workflow and reverse completed steps in reverse order, skipping irreversible actions, to set the workflow state to failed.

Instructions

[WRITE] Abort a workflow and rollback completed steps in reverse order.

Works in any state except 'completed'. Irreversible steps are skipped. The workflow state is set to 'failed' after rollback.

Args: workflow_id: The workflow ID to rollback.

Returns: Rollback results for each step.

workflow_idYes
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations indicate destructiveHint=true, and the description adds behavioral details: order of rollback, skipping irreversible steps, setting state to 'failed', and return of results. No contradiction with annotations.

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?

The description is concise, well-structured with sections, and front-loads the key action. Every sentence adds value without redundancy.

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?

Despite having no output schema, the description includes return information. It covers purpose, usage conditions, behavioral details, and the single parameter completely, making it self-sufficient.

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

Parameters5/5

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

With 0% schema description coverage, the description fully compensates by explaining the only parameter 'workflow_id' with a clear purpose, which the schema lacks.

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 uses a specific verb and resource combination ('Abort a workflow and rollback completed steps in reverse order'), which clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like run_workflow or plan_workflow.

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?

It explicitly states the state condition ('Works in any state except completed') and what happens to irreversible steps, providing clear guidance on when to use. It lacks explicit mentions of alternatives but context is sufficient.

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