Update Edge Computing route

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

Annotations declare readOnlyHint=false and openWorldHint=true, so the write nature is already known. The description adds negligible behavioral context: no note on permissions, partial-update semantics, reversibility, or what effect the edit has on live traffic. The '[WRITE]' marker duplicates the annotation rather than extending it.

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

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

It is short and front-loaded with the '[WRITE]' qualifier, but the single sentence is essentially just an endpoint signature. Brevity here reflects under-specification rather than efficient communication.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

A mutation tool with 5 parameters, no output schema, 0% schema description coverage, and no annotations sufficient to describe semantics. The description omits everything an agent needs to invoke it correctly, so it is not complete enough for the operation.

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

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

Schema description coverage is 0% and the description supplies no parameter meaning at all. Five parameters including enum status ('active'/'inactive') and the url/domain fields are entirely undocumented in both schema and description, leaving the agent to guess field formats.

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

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

The description is mostly a mechanical restatement of the HTTP verb and path ('PUT /edge-computes/{edgeComputeId}/routes/{route_id}'). It conveys that this is a write operation updating a route, but nothing about what an edge route is or what fields it configures. It does not differentiate from siblings like update_edge_compute or create_edge_route.

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

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

The '[WRITE]' tag hints at mutating intent but there is no when-to-use guidance, no mention of prerequisites, and no routing to alternatives such as create_edge_route for new routes or delete_edge_route for removal.

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