Update sprint_stickers

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

With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It mentions 'update' (mutation) and 'soft-delete', but fails to mention permissions, reversibility, side effects, or return behavior. Bare minimum disclosure.

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?

A single, front-loaded sentence with no extraneous words. Each phrase ('rename', 'edit states', 'soft-delete') directly maps to actionable parameters.

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 4 parameters, no annotations, no output schema, and many siblings, a one-sentence description is insufficient. It omits details on field persistence, constraints, and side effects, leaving the agent to guess.

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?

The description links actions (rename, edit states, soft-delete) to parameters name, states, and deleted, adding some meaning beyond the schema. However, it does not explain the structure of states (e.g., required id for existing states) or the effect of omitting parameters. With 50% schema coverage, the compensation is minimal.

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 'sprint sticker', and lists specific actions (rename, edit states, soft-delete). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like create, get, and list for the same resource, and from string_stickers_update by resource name.

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., create vs update, or this vs string_stickers_update). No prerequisites or contextual usage cues provided.

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