Update Form

update_form
Idempotent

Edit a form on a live event — rename and/or replace its questions. Pass questions with their ids (from list_forms) to keep responses mapped. Requires event_id + form_id; you must be a host.

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations show idempotentHint=true and destructiveHint=false, and the description adds behavioral context like requiring host status and the need for question ids. No contradictions.

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?

Two efficient sentences that front-load purpose and provide essential usage guidance without wasted words.

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?

Given no output schema and reasonable complexity, the description covers key aspects: operation, requirements, and mapping preservation. Could be slightly more detailed but adequate.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description adds meaning by explaining the role of event_id, form_id, and the questions parameter with ids for response mapping. It compensates well.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states the tool edits a form on a live event, with the ability to rename and replace questions. It differentiates from sibling tools like create_form and list_forms.

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?

Provides explicit guidance on using question ids from list_forms to preserve response mapping, and states required parameters and host prerequisite. Lacks explicit when-not-to-use but suffices.

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