C2.4/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=false, and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds nothing beyond that: it does not say which fields get mutated, whether unspecified fields are preserved, or that calling it twice is not idempotent.

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?

One short sentence with no filler, so nothing is wasted, but it is under-specified rather than efficient. The useful information (which field is being changed) is absent rather than front-loaded.

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?

An output schema exists, so return values need not be explained, but for a non-idempotent mutation with three required parameters and only one-third schema coverage the description should at minimum state what is being updated and where the IDs come from. It doesn't.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema description coverage is only 33% – just `event_id` is documented ("Event UUID returned by search_events"). The description provides no meaning for `interest_id` (presumably obtained via read_interests) or for `name`, leaving two of three parameters undocumented in both the schema and the description.

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

Purpose3/5

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

The verb+resource ("Update one interest") is identifiable and the event scoping is stated, but the sentence largely restates the tool name and title. It never says what about the interest is updatable (the schema suggests only `name`) nor distinguishes it from create_interest, delete_interest, or read_interests.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No guidance on when to use this instead of create_interest/delete_interest, no statements about prerequisites (e.g., needing an existing interest from read_interests), and no exclusions. An agent must infer the entire usage context from the name alone.

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