Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
titleNoOptional replacement title.
reviewYesThe review slug or URL from create_review.
summaryNoThe overview shown at the top of the review. Replaces any existing summary.
claim_tokenYesThe claim_token from create_review (authorizes the write). For a review the human has SAVED to their account, pass the agent token they generated on the review page (Export & more → Hand to your agent) here instead.
compared_toNoOptional: when this run repeats an earlier study, the earlier review's slug or URL. Recorded so re-runs can be compared over time.

TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true and idempotentHint=true, so the overwrite risk is largely covered. The description reinforces this with 'Replaces any existing summary or title,' but adds little else about permissions or side effects beyond what the schema's claim_token note covers.

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?

Three short sentences, front-loaded with the action, and the replacement warning is stated directly. No filler or redundancy.

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 no output schema, the description plus annotations and the fully documented schema give enough to call it correctly. Only permission/authorization nuance and confirmation behavior are left implicit.

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%, so all five parameters are documented in the schema itself. The description echoes the summary semantics ('shown at the top... above every screenshot and note') but adds no new syntax or format detail, so the baseline 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb (set/replace) and resource (a review's summary and/or title), so the agent can tell what the tool does. It does not, however, explicitly contrast with create_review or the note/screenshot siblings, so differentiation is left to the agent.

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?

Usage is implied by 'Set or replace' and the note that existing values are replaced, which suggests using it after a review exists. There is no explicit when-not guidance or mention of alternatives such as add_note for appending content.

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