salvar_numero_funcionarios

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must fully inform behavior. It discloses that the tool is a mutating operation (create or update) and explains the condition for update (presence of ID). However, it does not detail side effects, required permissions, idempotency, or error scenarios.

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 concise with two short sentences that front-load the purpose. No superfluous words or repetition.

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 no output schema and no annotations, the description covers the basic create/update functionality. However, it lacks details on return values (e.g., the created object), error conditions, and uniqueness constraints, leaving some gaps for an agent.

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 the description should compensate. It adds minimal meaning: 'id' is for update, and 'nome' is the name of the option. It does not explain what 'nome' represents (e.g., employee count range label) or any format constraints.

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 'Criar ou atualizar' (create or update) and the resource 'opcao de numero de funcionarios' (option for number of employees). It distinguishes from sibling tools like buscar_numero_funcionarios (search) and excluir_numero_funcionarios (delete) by specifying the create/update action.

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 provides a basic guideline: 'Passe o ID para atualizar uma opcao existente' (pass ID to update), implying that omitting ID creates a new option. However, it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it mention any prerequisites or exclusion criteria.

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