households_mealplans_update_one

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

The description only states an update occurs, with no annotations to clarify behavior. It does not disclose any side effects, required permissions, or constraints beyond the HTTP method. The schema provides the input fields, but behavioral consequences are omitted.

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?

The description is extremely brief (two lines) but under-specified. While concise, it fails to provide useful context, making it closer to a tautology. A well-crafted description should be concise yet informative.

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?

Given no output schema, no annotations, and a complex input schema with 0% coverage, the description is completely insufficient. It does not explain which fields are updatable, the effect of missing fields, or the expected response. The agent lacks critical information for correct usage.

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 adds no parameter information. The 'body' parameter is complex but unexplained; the tool name and HTTP path do not clarify what fields are required or how they affect the update. This forces the agent to rely solely on schema structure.

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 clearly states 'Update One' and includes the HTTP PUT endpoint, indicating the tool updates a single meal plan entry. It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'households_mealplans_create_one' and 'households_mealplans_delete_one' by the verb alone, but lacks details on what exactly is updated.

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?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description does not mention prerequisites, when not to use it, or compare with other meal plan operations like 'patch_many' or 'households_mealplans_update_many'.

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