Destructive

Renamed: use watch_event.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
event_idYesThe watched event to update.
triggersNoPer-event trigger settings, e.g. {"price_z":{"enabled":true,"params":{"threshold":2.5}}}. Each key says what it alerts on and the range of its params. Omit to use the saved defaults. A value outside its range is refused with an error naming the field and its min and max, and nothing is written.

    • addedInput schema / properties / triggers / properties / absorption / description
      Added value: +"Tickets leaving fast: A large share of the listed tickets leaves the marketplace. Off by default. Measures listings that disappear, which is not the same as confirmed sales. params: threshold 0.3 to 0.9 (default 0.5)."
    • addedInput schema / properties / triggers / properties / demand / description
      Added value: +"Demand spike: Interest in this event's listings rises versus the day before. Off by default. A change in Interest from one date to the next, not a z-score. Coverage is still filling in, so quiet events may never trigger it. params: threshold 1 to 50 (default 5)."
    • addedInput schema / properties / triggers / properties / lifecycle / description
      Added value: +"On-sale, presale, event week, low inventory: Fires when an on-sale or presale is announced, event week begins, or listed inventory runs low. On by default. params: event_week_days 1 to 30  days out (default 7); low_inventory_percent 1 to 50 % (default 10)."
    • addedInput schema / properties / triggers / properties / pct_move / description
      Added value: +"Price % move: The price changes by more than this percentage. Off by default. params: metric lowest | median (default lowest); window 1d | 7d (default 1d); threshold 5 to 100 % (default 15)."
    • addedInput schema / properties / triggers / properties / price_z / description
      Added value: +"Unusual price move: Fires when the 7-day price move is at least 2× this event's own normal swing, in either direction. On by default. params: threshold 1 to 5 (default 2)."
    • addedInput schema / properties / triggers / properties / weather / description
      Added value: +"Weather: Fires when the forecast for the event turns bad, and again when it clears. On by default."

TDQS

C2.8/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations declare destructiveHint=true and readOnlyHint=false, i.e. a mutating write tool, yet the description says nothing about whether calls still mutate a watch, silently alias to watch_event, or hard-fail. For a superseded mutation endpoint, that ambiguity is the single most important thing to disclose. It adds no behavioral context beyond what annotations already imply.

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?

One short sentence, front-loaded with the status and the redirect. Every word earns its place for a deprecation stub.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a 3-parameter tool with nested trigger objects, an agent needs to know whether the endpoint is live-but-deprecated or removed; the description leaves that unresolved. It also fails to state the effective cutoff for the old name, unlike the schema's own 'digest' note, so it is not complete for correct invocation.

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%, with event_id, triggers, and notification_mode all documented in-schema (including trigger ranges and the 'digest' deprecation note), so the baseline is 3. The description adds nothing about parameters, which is acceptable but not additive.

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

Purpose2/5

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

The description never states what update_watch actually does — it only announces a rename. There is no verb+resource describing behavior for this entry, just a pointer. It does at least signal status (superseded), which keeps it from being purely misleading.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

It explicitly names the replacement tool ('use watch_event'), which is exactly the routing an agent needs when it lands on this entry. It lacks any statement of when a call here still works versus errors out, so it falls short of a 5.

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