Update a space comment

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

The description reveals only the HTTP method (PUT) and endpoint. Annotations indicate non-read-only and non-idempotent, but no additional behavioral context (e.g., authorization, side effects) is provided.

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 very short but lacks necessary context. It is not overly verbose, but the brevity sacrifices completeness, earning an average score.

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?

No output schema exists, and the description does not indicate what the tool returns (e.g., updated comment object). As a mutation tool, behavioral and return-value details are missing, leaving the agent underinformed.

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 coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds no semantic meaning beyond the schema; the 'body' parameter is vaguely described as 'per the GitBook API for this operation' without specifying allowed fields.

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 the verb 'Update' and the resource 'space comment', matching the title. It distinguishes from siblings like gitbook_get_comment_in_space (read) and gitbook_update_comment_in_change_request (different context).

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 on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., gitbook_update_comment_in_change_request). The description lacks context on prerequisites or preferred scenarios.

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