Update test suite

stride.update_test_suite
DestructiveIdempotent

Rename a test suite or change its description / category. Pass null to clear description or category; omit a field to leave it unchanged. Refuses a rename that would duplicate another suite name in the same project.

Tool call template

Replace each placeholder with a value matching the input schema. Only required parameters are included; add optional parameters as needed.

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly=false, idempotent=true, destructive=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds real behavioral context beyond them: the duplicate-name validation rule and the null-vs-omit distinction. It does not explain the destructive flag's implications or auth requirements, keeping it short of a 5.

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 short sentences, front-loaded with the capability, then the null/omit rule, then the constraint. No filler or restatement of the title.

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?

For a 4-param mutation tool with no output schema, the description covers capability, patch semantics, and the main failure mode. It omits what a successful call returns and permission requirements, which are minor given full schema coverage and existing annotations.

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 coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3, but the description adds patch semantics the schema does not state — omitting a field preserves it, null clears it — which is the key invocation detail for this tool. Only the required testSuiteId is left unaddressed.

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?

States specific verbs and the exact resource: rename a test suite or change its description/category. The fields named map directly to the mutable parameters, so an agent can distinguish it from create_test_suite, delete_test_suite, and update_test_case without opening a schema.

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?

Gives concrete operating rules: null clears a field, omission leaves it unchanged, and duplicate-name renames are refused within the project. It stops short of naming alternatives (e.g., create_test_suite for new suites) or when-not-to-use conditions, but the patch semantics are explicit.

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