Api settings sec intel feeds update

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false, idempotentHint=true, openWorldHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered by structured data. The description adds nothing about what the update affects, whether it requires admin permissions, or whether full replacement semantics apply; it merely echoes the name and does not contradict the annotations.

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 only because it is under-specified rather than efficient; there is no front-loaded statement of intent, just an identifier string.

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 mutating settings endpoint with no output schema and an opaque body parameter, the definition supplies no payload shape, no prerequisites, and no scope. An agent cannot safely construct a call from this.

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?

The single 'body' parameter has 0% schema description coverage and is an untyped anyOf object; the description provides no hint about expected body fields for a security intel feed setting. With full burden on the description and nothing supplied, this is a clear failure.

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 literal tool name 'api_settings_sec_intel_feeds_update' with underscores, restating the identifier rather than stating what the tool does. It gives no verb+resource formulation, no explanation of what a 'sec intel feed' is, and no differentiation from the sibling retrieve/partial_update variants.

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 about when to call this versus ciso_assistant_api_settings_sec_intel_feeds_partial_update or _retrieve, both of which are present among the siblings. The agent must infer everything from the name suffix.

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