-}New value: +nullDoes the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations declare destructiveHint=true and idempotentHint=true, so the safety profile is covered, but the description adds no context beyond that. Critically, it does not say whether the events array replaces existing events/reminders or patches them, nor that it accepts up to 100 events – the most important unknown for a destructive batch update.
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?
It is short and front-loaded, but the brevity is under-specification rather than efficiency – a single semicolon-joined clause leaves the destructive batch semantics and concurrency requirement unexplained for a non-trivial mutation tool.
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 destructive, idempotency-keyed batch mutation with nested reminder recipients and optimistic locking, the description omits replacement vs merge behavior, failure modes, and email timing. With no output schema, the description should have carried more of this behavior but does not.
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 carries parameter documentation and the baseline is 3. The description's "email recipients when due" hints at the reminders sub-object but adds no format or replacement semantics beyond what the schema already encodes.
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 verb+resource ("Update custom events") is identifiable, but the trailing clause "sync linked notifications; email recipients when due" muddles scope – it is unclear whether reminder emails are sent immediately, scheduled, or merely reconfigured. Nothing distinguishes it from siblings like clm_update_event_reminders or clm_create_event_reminders.
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?
There is no statement of when to use this tool versus clm_create_contract_events, clm_delete_contract_events, clm_update_event_reminders, or clm_update_contract. The required expectedUpdatedAt field implies optimistic-concurrency semantics, yet the description never warns that a stale value will fail the call.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
