acedatacloud_update_auto_recharge

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of disclosing behavioral side effects. It mentions that confirmation is required, but does not explain consequences of the update, potential impacts on billing, or error conditions.

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 two short sentences, directly stating the action and a key requirement. No fluff or redundancy.

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 the rich parameter descriptions in the schema, the description is adequate for the core operation. However, it lacks details about expected outcomes, error handling, or prerequisites beyond confirmation, making it slightly incomplete.

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?

All parameters have in-schema descriptions (100% coverage), so the baseline is 3. The tool description adds no additional parameter information, but that is acceptable given the schema's clarity.

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 the verb 'Patch' and the resource 'auto-recharge config', making its purpose evident. It distinguishes from create/delete by using 'Patch', though it could be more explicit about updating an existing config.

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 description does not provide explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus other auto-recharge tools (e.g., create, get, delete). It only mentions that confirmation is required, which is a precondition but not a usage scenario.

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