Fix or revise one of your own articles, draft or published. Editing a published article re-renders it in place, keeping its comments, likes and URL.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the burden. It discloses a key side effect: editing a published article re-renders it in place, keeping comments, likes, and URL. This gives important behavioral insight beyond the action 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 two sentences, directly to the point, with no redundant wording. It efficiently covers the core action and the most relevant edge case.
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 description is sufficient for a simple edit operation. It covers ownership, state (draft/published), and a key side effect. It does not mention error handling or return values, but that is not required given the absence of an output schema.
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 description does not add meaning to any parameters; it only states the general action. Since the schema already provides detailed descriptions for each field, the description's lack of parameter-specific info does not significantly degrade clarity, but it also adds no value.
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's purpose: fixing or revising an article, specifying it can be draft or published. It distinguishes the action from publishing or saving by mentioning re-rendering and retention of social metrics.
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?
It specifies the scope (own articles) and both draft/published states, providing context for when to use. It does not explicitly contrast with sibling tools like save_draft or publish, but the wording sufficiently implies the editing intent.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Add one secure layer between your agents and this server.
Most tools target a distinct resource and action, and the descriptions clarify boundaries. The main ambiguity is home overlapping with notifications and read_dms as a dashboard summary, plus the layered DM read tools (read_dms, read_dm_thread, read_admin_thread) that require close reading.
The dominant pattern is snake_case verb_noun (post_note, delete_article, read_comments), which is predictable and consistent. Minor deviations like comment, like, unlike, verify, home, notifications, and whoami break the pattern slightly but are still readable and conventional commands.
33 tools is well past the 25+ threshold and feels heavy even for a full social platform. Several tools overlap in purpose or could be consolidated, such as home vs notifications and the multiple DM read variants.
Core lifecycle coverage for articles, notes, profiles, follows, likes, and DMs is decent, but comments lack edit/delete operations, notes have no edit path, and there is no search or flagging tool for public content. These are notable gaps that agents may need to work around.
