Api ebios rm kill chains partial update

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

Annotations declare readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=false, openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is at least documented elsewhere. The description contributes nothing about what fields can be patched, whether omitted fields are preserved (the whole point of a partial update), or what the response looks like. With no annotations-only value added, this is a pure restatement.

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?

It is short, but the brevity comes from under-specification rather than efficiency – the single fragment is a snake_case identifier, not a sentence. There is no structure to speak of and nothing front-loaded because there is nothing to load.

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 non-idempotent, non-read-only write tool with a free-form body and no output schema, the description leaves every decision to the caller. An agent cannot tell which sibling to pick, what to put in body, or what the effect of the call is.

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?

Two parameters with 0% schema description coverage: an opaque 'id' string and a free-form 'body' object with additionalProperties true and null default. The description does not say what belongs in body, which kill-chain fields are patchable, or that omission means 'leave unchanged' – arguably the single most important thing to state here.

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 is the machine-generated operation ID restated verbatim: 'api_ebios_rm_kill_chains_partial_update'. It adds no verb/resource framing beyond what the tool name already spells out, and gives no hint of what a 'kill chain' is in this EBIOS RM context. An agent learns nothing it could not parse from the name itself.

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 when-to-use guidance, no mention of the sibling alternatives that clearly exist (kill_chains_update, kill_chains_create, kill_chains_destroy, kill_chains_retrieve, kill_chains_batch_action_create). Notably there is no differentiation between this partial_update and the full update sibling.

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