move_update_take

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

The description aligns with annotations (readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true) but adds no behavioral detail beyond them. It does not disclose partial-update semantics, whether metadata is merged or replaced, or any authorization or rate-limit considerations.

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, front-loaded sentence with no filler or redundant information. It is appropriately concise, though the brevity contributes to gaps in other dimensions.

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?

For a four-parameter update tool with zero schema descriptions, the description is incomplete: it omits the purpose of the expand parameter and does not explain how metadata updates are applied. The output schema covers return values, but the description still leaves meaningful gaps for correct invocation.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description needed to compensate, but it only clarifies that 'name' and 'metadata' are updatable. The required take_id is left implicit, and the expand parameter is not explained at all, leaving the agent without enough information to use all parameters correctly.

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 names the action ('Update'), the resource ('a take'), and the specific fields ('name and/or metadata'). This differentiates it from sibling tools like move_get_take or move_create_single_cam_take, though it does not explicitly mention the expand parameter.

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 given about when to use this tool versus alternatives such as move_update_job or move_create_single_cam_take. There are no context signals, exclusions, or prerequisites described beyond the bare action.

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