Update Coolify Database

coolify_update_database
Idempotent

Update a database resource's configuration on a specified Coolify instance (prod or dev). Modify name, Docker image, or public port settings.

Instructions

Update a database resource's configuration.

Behavior3/5

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

The description does not disclose any behavioral traits beyond the annotations. It does not mention idempotency (already annotated as true), non-destructiveness (annotated false), or any other behavior. Since annotations are present, the description adds minimal value.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is extremely concise, using a single sentence that directly states the purpose. It is front-loaded with the verb 'Update'.

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?

Given the tool's complexity (8 parameters, 2 required) and the lack of an output schema, the description is minimal. It does not explain prerequisites, side effects, or return values. With complete annotations and schema, it is marginally adequate.

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

Parameters3/5

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

The description does not add any meaning beyond the input schema, which already has 100% coverage. The baseline score is 3.

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?

The description clearly states the action (update) and the resource (database resource's configuration). It effectively distinguishes this tool from sibling tools like coolify_create_database and coolify_get_database through the verb 'Update'.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., create, delete). The usage is only implied through the verb 'Update', which suggests it is for modifying an existing database. No alternatives are mentioned.

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