suggest milestone change

suggest_milestone_change

Record a suggested change. This does not change the milestones. kind add_milestone requires title and definition. kind add_criterion requires milestoneId and statement. kind add_deliverable requires milestoneId, title, and detail. kind add_work_item requires milestoneId and title. kind revise_client_wording requires wording.

A3.8/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations declare the safety profile (destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=false, openWorldHint=false), so the bar is lower. The description still adds genuinely useful context beyond the annotations by clarifying that recording succeeds as a suggestion without mutating the underlying milestones.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loaded with purpose then the key behavioral caveat, followed by a tight per-kind requirement list. Dense and free of filler, though the terse 'Record a suggested change' opener is slightly thin for an opener.

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 no explanation. For a 9-parameter tool with conditional requirements, the per-kind field mapping covers the hardest part; only the meaning of the two always-required fields goes unexplained.

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

Parameters4/5

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 it does the most valuable part: mapping each 'kind' enum value to its conditionally-required fields (e.g. add_criterion needs milestoneId and statement). It leaves the required milestoneSetId and summary undocumented, but the conditional mapping is a strong, non-obvious addition over the bare schema.

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+resource ('Record a suggested change') and immediately distinguishes it from the actual mutation by noting 'This does not change the milestones.' This implicitly separates it from the sibling accept_milestone_change, though no sibling is named 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: this is a suggestion-recording tool rather than one that applies changes, and 'does not change the milestones' gestures at that boundary. But it never names alternatives like accept_milestone_change or approve_milestones, nor states when a suggestion should be filed instead of making a real change.

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