Api settings global update

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is covered structurally. The description adds nothing beyond that - no mention of what the global settings control, whether changes are audited, or what constraints apply to the payload.

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 a single token string, so there is no filler, but this is under-specification rather than conciseness. Nothing is front-loaded because nothing is stated.

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 mutation tool with zero annotation-independent context, no output schema, and a completely undocumented free-form body, the definition is inadequate. An agent cannot determine what payload to send or what the effect will be.

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% for both parameters; 'id' is an unexplained string and 'body' is an untyped open object with additionalProperties=true. The description supplies no field names, no payload structure guidance, and does not compensate for the coverage gap at all.

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 'api_settings_global_update' is a verbatim restatement of the tool name, offering no elaboration of what is being updated or what 'global' settings comprise. The verb and resource can be inferred from the name alone, but that is tautology rather than clarification.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this versus siblings such as ciso_assistant_api_settings_global_partial_update or settings_global_create. The update-vs-partial-update distinction, which is the key routing decision here, is left entirely unaddressed.

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