Update a generation's details

update_generation
Destructive

Rename, describe, tag, favourite or rate a generation. Send null for title or description to clear it and let the Organizer fill it in. Tags you send are the account's own and sit beside the Organizer's, never over them.

A3.8/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true and idempotentHint=false, so the safety profile is covered; the description adds real value beyond them by disclosing that null clears title/description and hands refill to the Organizer, and that user tags merge beside rather than override the Organizer's tags. It does not, however, state that omitted fields are left untouched or describe permission requirements.

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 sentences, front-loaded with the action set, and each subsequent sentence delivers a distinct behavioral rule (null clearing, tag merge semantics) with no filler.

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?

An output schema exists so return values need not be explained, and annotations cover the mutation/safety profile; combined with the description's coverage of the main edits and null semantics, this is close to complete. The remaining gap is parameter constraints and whether the update is partial, which the 0%-coverage schema leaves undocumented.

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 0%, so the description carries the burden and does map five of six parameters to natural-language actions plus the null-clearing semantics for title/description. It omits the constraints that only the schema encodes — 80/300 char caps, max 8 tags, and the up/down enum for quality_feedback — so it only partially compensates.

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 (update) and resource (generation) and enumerates the editable facets — rename, describe, tag, favourite, rate — which map cleanly onto title, description, user_tags, favorite and quality_feedback. This clearly separates it from delete_generation, regenerate_generation and get_generation, but no sibling is named or contrasted explicitly.

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 the verb and the field list, and the null-clearing rule is stated, but there is no guidance on when to prefer this over alternatives such as regenerate_generation or revise_guided_generation, and no preconditions are given. Adequate but leaves routing to inference.

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