update_deepseek_token

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It states 'update' implies a mutation, but doesn't specify whether this requires authentication, what happens to the old token (e.g., revocation), if changes are immediate or reversible, or any rate limits. For a security-sensitive tool like an API key update, this lack of detail is a significant gap.

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 a single, efficient phrase ('Update Deepseek API Key') that front-loads the core purpose without unnecessary words. Every word earns its place, making it easy to scan and understand quickly.

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 tool's complexity (mutating a security-sensitive API key) and lack of annotations or output schema, the description is incomplete. It doesn't cover behavioral aspects like authentication needs, side effects, or response format, leaving the agent with insufficient context for safe and effective use.

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?

The description adds no parameter semantics beyond what the schema provides. Since schema description coverage is 100% (the single parameter 'deepseek_token' is fully described in the schema as 'Deepseek API Key'), the baseline score of 3 applies. The tool name implies the parameter is for updating, but the description doesn't elaborate on format, validation, or constraints.

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 'Update Deepseek API Key' clearly states the action (update) and the resource (Deepseek API Key), making the tool's purpose immediately understandable. It distinguishes from most siblings (e.g., update_assistant, update_openai_token) by specifying the target token type, though it doesn't explicitly differentiate from similar token-update tools like update_elevenlabs_token or update_gemini_token beyond naming.

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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It doesn't mention prerequisites (e.g., needing an existing token to update), exclusions, or related tools (e.g., whether this is for initial setup or replacement). The agent must infer usage from the tool name alone.

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