Update a piece

update_essay
Destructive

Edit a piece you already published or drafted, by its post id. Improve the public answer-card context its legacy cacheEligibleMissing field named, attach the searchId of the search MISS the piece answers, or flip a draft live by setting status to "published". Only the fields you send change; everything else keeps its stored value, and resource merges rather than replaces. Get the id from publish_essay's response, or from list_my_posts. Pass a SIGN-IN-WITH-X header value you signed locally — mint a FRESH one for this call: the write routes burn each nonce once, so a header you already spent on publish_essay will be rejected. PUT /api/posts/ stays the sole validator; this tool forwards your fields verbatim.

TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already indicate a destructive write, but the description adds substantial behavioral detail: nonces are single-use and burned by write routes, omitted fields keep stored values, resource merges rather than replaces, explicit null/[]/{} clears fields, scanAck is only valid against unchanged content, and searchId claims accumulate. This goes well beyond the annotations and fully sets expectations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

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

The description is information-dense and front-loads the main purpose, but one sentence is grammatically garbled ('Improve the public answer-card context its legacy cacheEligibleMissing field named'), and the trailing endpoint/validator detail is not front-loaded and is lower-value. It could be tightened without losing meaning.

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?

For a mutation tool with a nested object schema, no output schema, and fairly sparse annotations, the description covers id sourcing, partial updates, merge semantics, nonce policy, scanAck flow, and clearing behavior. The main remaining gap is that it does not clearly describe what the response will contain beyond the cacheEligible echo.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Input schema coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents each parameter. The description adds useful operational semantics beyond the schema: signInWithX must be fresh because publish_essay spent nonces, status:'published' flips a draft live, and searchId attaches to the search MISS the piece answers. That contextualizes the most behavior-sensitive 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?

Opens with a specific verb and resource: 'Edit a piece you already published or drafted, by its post id.' It also names concrete update actions (flip a draft live, attach searchId, improve legacy cacheEligibleMissing context), making the tool's scope unmistakable and distinct from get/delete/publish siblings.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

Gives useful prerequisites—obtain the id from publish_essay or list_my_posts, and mint a fresh SIGN-IN-WITH-X header—so an agent knows how to call it. However, it never explicitly states when to prefer this over publish_essay, delete_essay, or another sibling, nor does it give a when-not-to-use exclusion.

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