Rename Layout

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered structurally. The description adds a vague claim about 'write and path restrictions subject to service capabilities', which hints that permissions/paths matter but does not state what is actually restricted or what gets mutated.

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?

Two short sentences, so nothing is bloated, but the second sentence ('returns verifiable structured results; restrictions per service capabilities') is generic filler rather than useful front-loaded information, given an output schema already exists.

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?

The output schema covers return values, but for a three-parameter mutation tool with zero schema descriptions and no annotations-level detail on write behavior, the description leaves key invocation details (param formats, preconditions) unaddressed.

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% for all three required parameters, so the description carries the full burden and supplies nothing beyond the parameter names. It never clarifies path format, whether layout_name must match an existing layout, or naming constraints for new_layout_name.

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 names a specific verb and resource ('重命名布局' / rename layout), which is unambiguous. However, it does nothing to distinguish itself from sibling rename tools such as arcgis_pro_rename_layer, arcgis_pro_rename_map, or arcgis_pro_gp_rename_dataset, so it falls short of a 5.

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?

There is no indication of when to use this tool versus alternatives, no prerequisites, and no note about whether the layout must already exist or be open. The boilerplate about 'service capabilities' does not function as usage guidance.

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