Set Document Property

set_doc_property

Set a document's custom property value by property name or ID, with automatic type validation for text, number, checkbox, or date.

Instructions

Set a document's custom property value (property by id or name). Value is validated against the property type (text/number/checkbox/date).

Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It mentions validation, but does not disclose if it overwrites, is idempotent, error handling, or what happens if property doesn't exist. For a mutation tool, more detail needed.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Single sentence that conveys core purpose and a behavioral note. Efficient, but could be better structured with separate sentences for different aspects.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Mutation tool with no output schema and no annotations. The description is brief, missing details on return values, error cases, and examples. Context signals indicate need for more completeness.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema has 4 parameters with 50% description coverage. The description adds no additional meaning beyond what's in the schema for workspaceId and docId. It only echoes the property and value descriptions. Does not compensate for low coverage.

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 verb 'Set', the resource 'document's custom property', and how the property is identified ('by id or name'). It also mentions validation against property types, distinguishing it from sibling tools like clear_doc_property or create_custom_property.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It doesn't mention prerequisites, when not to use it, or how it compares to create_custom_property or clear_doc_property.

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