lokalise_update_key

Modify key metadata (description, platforms, tags) to clarify meaning for translators and reorganize content. Updates apply immediately.

Instructions

Modifies key metadata to improve organization and translator context. Required: projectId, keyId. Optional: key_name, description, platforms, tags. Use to clarify meaning for translators, fix platform assignments, or reorganize content. Returns: Updated key. Note: This updates metadata only - use translation tools to modify actual text. Changes apply immediately.

Behavior3/5

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. States immediate application and metadata-only scope, but lacks disclosure of side effects, authorization needs, or limits. Does not contradict annotations.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Two concise sentences plus usage examples. Efficient but includes redundant 'Required' list already in schema.

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

Completeness3/5

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

Covers main use cases and notes return value, but omission of keyData required nature and missing key_name cause gaps for a 3-param nested tool.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, baseline 3. Description adds erroneous 'key_name' (not in schema) and misstates 'keyData' as optional (it is required). This confusion reduces value.

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?

Specifically states 'Modifies key metadata' and contrasts with translation tools. Clearly identifies the scope and resource.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicitly describes when to use (improve organization, fix platform assignments) and when not to use (actual text changes should use translation tools).

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