Rename a checklist

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

With no annotations, the description carries the burden, and it does disclose the mutation (rename) and the source of the identifier. It says nothing about permissions, error behavior if the id is invalid, or what a successful rename returns, which are meaningful gaps for an unannotated mutation.

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 short sentence, front-loaded with the action and resource, with the id-provenance hint parenthetically attached. Nothing is wasted.

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 simple two-parameter mutation with no output schema, the description supplies the essential missing context (where the checklist id comes from) and the action. Only the fate of the `name` parameter and post-call behavior are left unaddressed.

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 description coverage is 0%, so both `id` and `name` are bare types in the schema. The description clarifies that `id` is a checklist id obtained from kanbini_get_card, which adds real value, but it never states that `name` is the new checklist name or its constraints (min length 1), leaving half the parameters to inference.

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?

States a specific verb (rename) and resource (a card's checklist), which distinguishes it from sibling checklist tools such as create_checklist, delete_checklist, and update_checklist_item. The scope ('a card's checklist') is unambiguous.

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?

The description tells the agent where the required id comes from (the `checklists` field of kanbini_get_card), which is a useful precondition. However, it gives no explicit when-to-use guidance or contrast with siblings like create_checklist or delete_checklist, so usage is only implied.

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