Available Tools
12 toolsdocuseal_archive_submissionA
Archive (soft delete) a submission
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| submission_id | Yes | The unique identifier of the submission to archive |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the burden of disclosing behavior. The phrase 'soft delete' is valuable context indicating reversibility, but it does not explain side effects, permissions, or how archived submissions behave in lists. This is partial transparency but not comprehensive.
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 front-loaded with the action and resource. Every word earns its place, with no filler or redundancy.
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 tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description is adequate but missing details like return value, idempotency, or error behavior. It covers the essential purpose but lacks extra context that could help an agent anticipate outcomes.
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 covers the single parameter with a clear description, and schema coverage is 100%. The tool description adds no further semantic detail beyond what the schema already provides, so the baseline of 3 applies.
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 a specific action ('Archive (soft delete)') on a specific resource ('submission'), distinguishing it from sibling tools like docuseal_archive_template. The parenthetical 'soft delete' adds precise meaning beyond the tool name.
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, nor any exclusions or prerequisites. It simply states what the tool does without context on when archiving is appropriate.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
docuseal_archive_templateA
Archive (soft delete) a template
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| template_id | Yes | The unique identifier of the template to archive |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description discloses that the action is a 'soft delete', which is a meaningful behavioral trait beyond a simple 'archive'. However, with no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden and does not elaborate on whether the operation is reversible, what happens to existing submissions, or any potential side effects. It offers some transparency but lacks depth.
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 one concise sentence that front-loads the core action. It avoids unnecessary words or repetition, earning its place entirely.
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), the description covers the essential behavior. It clearly states the action and the target resource. However, it lacks mention of the operational impact (e.g., whether the template still appears in lists or if archiving is reversible), which would make it fully complete. The single-sentence description is adequate for this simple tool but not exhaustive.
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 already provides a clear description for the single parameter 'template_id' ('The unique identifier of the template to archive'), achieving 100% schema description coverage. The tool description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema already contains, so the baseline 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 'Archive (soft delete) a template' uses a specific verb ('Archive') and resource ('template') and further clarifies the action as a 'soft delete'. This is distinct from sibling tools like docuseal_list_templates or docuseal_clone_template, making the tool's purpose unmistakable.
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. The description does not mention prerequisites, consequences, or scenarios where archiving is appropriate (e.g., versus deleting the template permanently). Without explicit usage context, the agent is left to infer the intended use.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
docuseal_clone_templateB
Clone an existing template into a new template
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | No | Name for the new cloned template | |
| folder_name | No | Folder name for the cloned template | |
| template_id | Yes | The unique identifier of the template to clone | |
| application_key | No | Application key for the cloned template |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It discloses the basic action but omits behavioral traits such as whether this is a destructive/mutating operation, any dependency on application_key, or side effects on the source template.
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, front-loaded with the action and target, and contains no filler or redundant content.
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?
Although the tool is simple and all parameters are documented, the lack of usage context, behavioral notes, annotations, or output schema leaves the description minimally viable but not fully complete.
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 the schema already documents all parameters. The description adds no additional semantic meaning beyond the schema, making baseline 3 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 uses a specific verb ('Clone') with a clear resource and target ('existing template into a new template'), unambiguously distinguishing it from sibling tools like create_template_from_pdf, archive_template, or list_templates.
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 creating a template from PDF or archiving an existing template. The description only states what it does, not when it is the appropriate choice.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
docuseal_create_submissionB
Create a new submission for document signing
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| order | No | Order of submitters signing | preserved |
| message | No | Custom email message | |
| send_email | No | Whether to send email notifications | |
| submitters | Yes | Array of submitters for the document | |
| template_id | Yes | Template ID to create submission from |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states 'Create' with no mention of side effects like sending emails, triggering notifications, or what happens to the submission after creation. This is a significant transparency gap for a mutation tool.
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 concise and front-loaded, but it largely paraphrases the tool name ('Create a new submission') without adding substantive value. The single sentence earns its place only as a basic statement, not by enriching understanding.
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 a rich schema with nested objects and 5 parameters, the description does not explain the submission workflow, email behavior, or expected outcomes. Without annotations or an output schema, this minimal text is insufficient for a complex creation tool with side effects.
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?
With 100% schema description coverage, all parameters already have descriptive text in the input schema. The description adds no additional parameter-level detail or caveats, so it meets the baseline but does not exceed it.
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 uses a specific verb ('Create') and resource ('submission') with clear signing context ('for document signing'), which uniquely distinguishes it from sibling tools like list, get, archive, and clone operations. It clearly communicates what the tool does.
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 does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it mention exclusions or prerequisites. Usage is only implied by the tool's name and the presence of sibling CRUD operations, so the guidance is minimal.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
docuseal_create_template_from_pdfB
Create a template from an existing PDF with form fields
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | Name for the template | |
| documents | Yes | Array of documents with fields | |
| folder_name | No | Folder name for the template | |
| application_key | No | Application key for the template |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral transparency. It only says 'Create a template from an existing PDF with form fields' without disclosing permissions, side effects, or how form fields are processed. This is insufficient for a mutating 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, front-loaded sentence that uses precise language. Every word contributes to the meaning, and there is no filler or redundancy.
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?
This is a complex create operation with nested objects and no output schema, yet the description gives minimal guidance on expected behavior, return values, or edge cases. The detailed schema helps but doesn't compensate for missing behavioral context around what happens during template creation.
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 schema already covers all top-level parameters with descriptions (100% coverage), so the baseline is 3. The description adds the key context that the input documents should be PDFs with form fields, but it does not explain nested parameter semantics beyond what the schema provides.
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 a specific verb ('Create') and resource ('template') with a concrete source ('existing PDF with form fields'). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like clone or create_submission, which have different 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?
The description implies when to use this tool (when you have a PDF to turn into a template) but provides no explicit guidance on alternatives or when not to use it. The sibling context suggests other template operations, but the description itself does not address them.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
docuseal_get_submissionB
Get detailed information about a specific submission
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| submission_id | Yes | The unique identifier of the submission |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations are absent, so the description carries the full burden. It only states that it retrieves information, but does not disclose whether authentication is required, what happens if the submission is not found, or the scope of the 'detailed information' (e.g., whether it includes submitters, documents, or audit logs). As a read operation, it is inherently non-destructive, but this is not explicitly stated.
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 one clear, front-loaded sentence with no extraneous words. It efficiently communicates the core action and resource.
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 simplicity of the tool (single required parameter, no output schema), the description is minimally acceptable. However, it leaves the agent wondering what 'detailed information' includes (e.g., field names, response structure) and provides no operational context. The description could be enhanced by listing typical response content, but it is not critically incomplete.
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 fully documents the single parameter (submission_id) with a clear description. The tool description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, so the baseline score of 3 for 100% schema coverage 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 a specific action: 'Get detailed information about a specific submission.' It correctly distinguishes itself from sibling tools like docuseal_list_submissions (which lists all submissions) and docuseal_get_submitter (which targets a different resource).
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 over alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites (e.g., needing a submission_id) or contrast with list_submissions for finding IDs. No exclusions or contextual hints are given.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
docuseal_get_submitterC
Get detailed information about a specific submitter
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| submitter_id | Yes | The unique identifier of the submitter |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Without annotations, the description carries the full burden. It only states that it gets 'detailed information' but does not specify what that information includes, whether it requires any preconditions, or what happens if the submitter doesn't exist.
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 filler, but it is also quite terse. It wastes nothing, though it could have used the space to add valuable context.
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 tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description is insufficient. An agent cannot predict what 'detailed information' means or how to interpret the response. The single parameter is documented, but the return payload is completely unspecified.
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 schema fully documents the single parameter (submitter_id) with a clear description, so the baseline is 3. The tool description adds no additional semantic context, such as where to find the ID or any formatting constraints.
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 uses the verb 'Get' with a specific resource ('detailed information about a specific submitter'), clearly indicating a single-submitter retrieval. It distinguishes from siblings like list_submitters (which lists all) and update_submitter (which mutates).
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 about when to use this tool versus docuseal_list_submitters or docuseal_get_submission. The description simply states what it does, not the context of choice.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
docuseal_get_templateB
Get detailed information about a specific template
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| template_id | Yes | The unique identifier of the template |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only says 'Get detailed information' and does not state whether this is read-only (although the verb implies it), what exactly is returned, or any failure modes. This is a significant gap for a tool with zero annotation coverage.
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, front-loaded with the action and resource. Every word earns its place with no redundancy or unrelated detail.
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?
The tool is very simple with one parameter and no output schema, so the description doesn't need to explain return values. However, 'detailed information' is vague and does not specify what fields or depth of detail are included, leaving some ambiguity about the actual output and behavior.
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 100% coverage with a clear description for template_id, so the schema already handles parameter meaning. The description adds no extra semantic value for the parameter beyond confirming it targets a specific template, so 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 uses a specific verb 'Get' with a resource 'template' and qualifier 'detailed information' and 'specific', clearly distinguishing this from listing all templates or other actions. However, it does not explicitly name alternative tools like docuseal_list_templates, so it stops short of a 5.
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 implies use when a user needs full details for a single template identified by ID, as opposed to list_templates which gives an overview. But there is no explicit statement of when to use this versus alternatives, nor any exclusion criteria or prerequisites, so guidance is only implied.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
docuseal_list_submissionsB
List all submissions with optional filtering
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | Number of submissions to return (max 100) | |
| template_id | No | Filter by template ID | |
| application_key | No | Filter by application key | |
| template_folder | No | Filter by template folder name |
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 says 'List all submissions' without mentioning pagination, default limit, whether archived submissions are included, authentication requirements, or response format. The 'limit' parameter in the schema hints at pagination, but the description does not disclose any such behavior or constraints.
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 front-loaded with the core action ('List all submissions') and adds a relevant qualifier ('optional filtering'). No unnecessary words or repetition. It earns its place.
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 no output schema and no annotations, the description is quite thin. It lacks information about the response shape, pagination behavior, default values beyond schema defaults, or relationship to get_submission for detail retrieval. For a list tool with four parameters, this leaves significant gaps in understanding what the tool returns and how the filters affect the result.
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 the parameters are already well-documented in the schema. The description adds the phrase 'optional filtering', which clarifies the role of the parameters as filters, but it does not explain how filters combine or any additional semantics beyond the schema. This meets the baseline for schema-heavy tools.
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 'List all submissions' with a specific verb (list) and resource (submissions), and adds 'optional filtering' for scoping. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like get_submission (singular) and list_templates (different resource).
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 implies use for retrieving multiple submissions, and 'optional filtering' suggests parameter usage, but it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like get_submission for a single record or list_templates for a different resource. No exclusions or alternative guidance is provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
docuseal_list_submittersB
List all submitters with optional filtering
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | Number of submitters to return (max 100) | |
| submission_id | No | Filter by submission ID | |
| application_key | No | Filter by application key |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description says 'List all submitters' but the schema implies a default limit of 10, so it may not actually return all. It does not disclose pagination, return format, or authentication requirements. Since no annotations are provided, the description carries the full burden but fails to clarify key behaviors.
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 unnecessary words, making it highly concise. However, the phrase 'all' may be slightly misleading, but that's a correctness issue rather than conciseness. It is well-structured and front-loaded.
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 no output schema and no annotations, the description should explain the return format, default limits, and the meaning of 'all'. It fails to mention that limit defaults to 10, which is critical for an agent. The description is too sparse to be considered complete for this tool.
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 schema already covers all parameters with descriptions, giving 100% coverage. The description only reiterates 'optional filtering' without adding semantics beyond the schema. 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 uses the specific verb 'list' and resource 'submitters', clearly indicating a read-only listing operation. It distinguishes from sibling tools like list_submissions by focusing on submitters. The phrase 'with optional filtering' adds scope clarity.
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 get_submitter or list_submissions. The description does not mention exclusions or preferred scenarios. An agent must infer usage from the tool name alone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
docuseal_list_templatesB
List all document templates from DocuSeal
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | Number of templates to return (max 100) | |
| folder | No | Filter templates by folder name | |
| archived | No | Get archived templates instead of active ones | |
| application_key | No | Filter templates by application key |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, and the description only restates the function without disclosing return format, pagination, default behavior (e.g., active vs archived), or authentication requirements. This is a minimal disclosure that fails to add behavioral context beyond the tool name.
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 with no extraneous information. It is appropriately sized for a straightforward listing operation, though it could be expanded slightly.
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 lack of annotations and output schema, the description should explain what the tool returns or how filters and pagination behave. It does not, leaving the agent to infer these details, which makes it incomplete for a tool with 4 parameters.
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 the parameters are well-documented in the input schema. The description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema already provides, which meets the baseline of 3.
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 ('List') and resource ('document templates from DocuSeal'), which distinguishes it from siblings like docuseal_get_template (single template) and docuseal_clone_template. The purpose is unambiguous.
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 implies usage for listing templates, but it does not explicitly mention when to use this tool versus alternatives such as docuseal_get_template for a single template. There is no guidance on exclusions or prerequisites.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
docuseal_update_submitterB
Update submitter details, field values, and re-send emails
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | No | Submitter name | |
| No | Submitter email | ||
| phone | No | Submitter phone | |
| values | No | Field values to update | |
| message | No | Custom email message | |
| send_email | No | Whether to re-send email notification | |
| submitter_id | Yes | The unique identifier of the submitter |
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 mentions re-sending emails as a side effect but does not disclose overwrite behavior, required permissions, or how the send_email flag relates to the message parameter. The description is too terse to inform the agent about consequences.
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, front-loaded sentence that conveys the action and key scope with no redundant words. It earns its place and is easy to scan.
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 7 parameters, a nested message object, and no output schema, the description is too sparse. It does not explain how parameters interact (e.g., whether message is used only when send_email is true) nor what the response contains after an update.
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 the schema already documents all parameters. The description adds a high-level summary of what can be updated but no additional detail beyond the schema. Baseline 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 a specific verb ('Update'), resource ('submitter'), and scope ('details, field values, and re-send emails'), distinguishing it from sibling tools that list, get, or archive submitters. It directly indicates what the tool does without ambiguity.
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 given on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor are any prerequisites or exclusions mentioned. It does not explain that this should be used for existing submitters or suggest pairing with get_submitter/list_submitters.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
Each tool clearly targets a specific resource and action: templates, submissions, and submitters are all distinct, and operations like list, get, clone, archive, create, and update are unambiguous. No two tools could be easily confused.
All tools follow the pattern 'docuseal_<verb>_<noun>', with consistent snake_case and a clear verb-noun structure. The only longer name, create_template_from_pdf, still fits the pattern as a verb-noun phrase.
With 12 tools covering three main resource types (templates, submissions, submitters), the count is well within the ideal range. Each tool serves a distinct purpose without unnecessary bloat.
The core document signing workflow is covered: template creation from PDF, listing/archiving templates, creating/listing submissions, and managing submitters. Minor gaps exist like updating a template or creating/deleting submitters directly, but these are likely handled through other flows.
