edit_service_account_api_key

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

Annotations already declare this is a non-readonly, open-world, non-idempotent, non-destructive mutation, but the description adds nothing beyond that. It does not disclose which fields can be modified, whether changes are reversible, what permissions are required, or any side effects of the operation.

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 short, but it is under-specified rather than concise. Every sentence should earn its place, and this single phrase repeats the name without adding information, making it a wasted opportunity for front-loaded guidance.

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?

For a mutation tool with 8 parameters, nested objects, and no output schema, the description is completely inadequate. It communicates nothing about what an edit does, what values are valid, or how to interpret success, leaving the agent with no context beyond the name and partial schema.

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 63%, with several parameters (name, api_key_id, service_account_user_id) lacking any description in the schema. The tool description does not compensate by explaining the meaning, format, or behavior of any parameter, leaving gaps for an agent trying to construct a valid edit request.

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 'Edit Service Account Api Key' is a verbatim restatement of the tool name, offering no additional detail about what fields can be edited, what the operation affects, or how it differs from creation/deletion siblings. It is a tautology rather than a clarifying specification.

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 guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like create_service_account_api_key, delete_service_account_api_key, or get_service_account_api_keys_route. No prerequisites, no conditions, no exclusions are provided.

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