C2.3/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=true, and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. However, the description adds nothing beyond that — it does not disclose partial-update semantics (only feature_request_id is required, everything else optional), subscriber notification side effects (a dedicated parameter exists for this), or how score_type interacts with the various scoring fields. For a 17-parameter destructive mutation, this is a significant omission.

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?

The single sentence is front-loaded and free of waste, but its brevity reflects under-specification rather than disciplined concision given the tool's complexity. There is no structure to speak of — no sections, no caveats.

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?

With 17 parameters, destructive semantics, and notification side effects, the description is far too thin; an output schema exists so return values need not be explained, but the partial-update contract and side effects are unaddressed. The agent is left to reconstruct behavior from the schema alone.

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%, so every parameter including the nuanced score_type/value/effort/effort_rice and status/state_id relationships is already documented in the schema. Per the high-coverage baseline, 3 is appropriate even though the description contributes no parameter meaning of its own.

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 'Update an existing feature request post' essentially restates the tool name and title with no additional specificity about scope, which fields can be changed, or how it differs from the many sibling update_* tools. An agent learns nothing it could not already infer from the name.

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?

There is no when-to-use guidance, no prerequisites, and no mention of alternatives such as create_feature_request or the more targeted assign_feature_request / add_tag_to_feature_request tools. The agent must infer entirely from naming conventions when this tool is appropriate.

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