gitee_update_release

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

With no annotations and a description that only says 'Update a release', behavioral traits like idempotency, side effects, or authorization requirements are completely unaddressed. The description fails to disclose any behavior beyond the name.

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 too minimal for an 8-parameter tool. While short, it omits critical information, making it under-specified rather than effectively concise.

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 (8 parameters, no annotations, no output schema), a 3-word description is grossly inadequate. It fails to explain what fields can be updated, the effect, or any constraints.

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 100% (all 8 parameters have descriptions in the schema), so the baseline is 3. The description adds no additional parameter meaning or context beyond the schema.

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 a release' clearly states the verb and resource, but does not differentiate from sibling tools like gitee_create_release, gitee_delete_release, or gitee_get_release. It is specific but lacks sibling distinction, warranting a 4.

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?

No usage context is provided. The description does not specify when to use this tool over alternatives, nor does it mention any prerequisites or conditions. This is a significant gap.

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