Api privacy purposes partial update

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

Annotations declare readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false, idlempotentHint=false, so the safety envelope is partly covered. The description adds nothing about the fact that this is a partial (PATCH) mutation requiring an existing record id, what fields are mutable, or what happens to unspecified fields — and the word 'viewed' muddies whether it mutates at all.

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?

One short sentence with no padding, so nothing is wasted in a literal sense. However the brevity stems from under-specification rather than discipline; a single sentence that conveys no usable information is not an efficient definition.

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?

This is a mutation tool with an opaque untyped `body` payload, no output schema, and autogenerated annotations. Given that complexity, the description should at minimum say it patches an existing purpose by id and describe the mutable fields; it does neither, leaving the agent unable to call it correctly.

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% across both parameters. The description does not explain that `id` identifies the purpose record or that `body` is an arbitrary free-form object of fields to patch — the single most important thing an agent needs here. Schema alone leaves the caller guessing what to put in `body`.

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 restates the endpoint name as 'allows purposes to be viewed or edited', which is boilerplate that could describe nearly every CRUD sibling in the privacy purposes family. 'Partial update' in the name is more specific than anything the description says, and 'viewed or edited' blurs a PATCH operation with a read.

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 instead of ciso_assistant_api_privacy_purposes_update, _retrieve, _list, or _object_retrieve. With dozens of near-identical siblings in the privacy purposes namespace, this omission leaves the agent with no basis for selection beyond the name suffix.

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