Api settings sec intel feeds partial update

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

Annotations declare readOnlyHint=false, idempotentHint=false, openWorldHint=true, destructiveHint=false, but the description adds nothing about what a partial update changes, required permissions, or what happens to unspecified fields.

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 not concise — it is a single identifier repeated as prose, with no front-loaded explanation of action, target, or payload.

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?

A mutation tool with no output schema, an undocumented free-form body, and no annotations-level elaboration. Nothing helps the agent understand what to send or what it will get back.

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?

There is one body parameter with 0% schema description coverage and an opaque 'anyOf object' type. The description gives no hint about the expected payload shape (which feed settings fields exist), so the agent has no way to construct a valid 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 is only the tool name restated: 'api_settings_sec_intel_feeds_partial_update'. An agent can infer a PATCH on security-intel-feed settings from the identifier, but the description itself supplies no verb/resource statement beyond it.

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 prerequisites, and no mention of the sibling ciso_assistant_api_settings_sec_intel_feeds_update (full update) or _retrieve, which is the exact distinction an agent needs here.

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