patch_event_occurrence_comment

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

The description discloses the important behavior of event_id resolution (accepts various reference forms, resolves to UUID). However, with no annotations, other behaviors (e.g., what happens if no comment exists, idempotency, permissions) are not covered.

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 concise with two sentences, front-loading the core purpose and providing key parameter detail without fluff.

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?

An output schema exists, which may cover return values, but the description omits details on parameter behaviors, effect of optional fields, and any prerequisites. Given the tool's complexity (4 params, no annotations), the description is moderately 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?

Only the event_id parameter is explained in detail. The other three parameters (date, body, is_private) are not described beyond their schema types, and schema description coverage is 0%. The description does not compensate for the lack of schema documentation.

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 'Edit the latest comment on an event occurrence (date)', specifying the verb and resource. However, it does not explicitly distinguish this tool from siblings like 'post_event_occurrence_comment' or 'update_comment'.

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 guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as 'post_event_occurrence_comment' or 'delete_event_occurrence_comment'. The description lacks any conditions or exclusions.

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