Api settings vulnerability sla update

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

Annotations already state readOnlyHint=false, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false, openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is covered there. The description adds nothing beyond that — it does not say that this is a full replacement of the SLA configuration, what settings exist (e.g. severity-based day counts), or whether unspecified fields get reset, which is the exact gap an idempotent PUT-style tool needs to fill.

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 economical; there is no front-loaded statement of effect and no structure at all. Brevity here is a symptom of missing content, not conciseness.

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?

Even accounting for annotations and the absence of an output schema, the definition leaves the body payload entirely undocumented for a settings mutation with zero schema coverage. An agent would have to guess the configuration keys, which is a serious gap for a write tool.

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 coverage is 0% and the only parameter is an opaque, unconstrained 'body' object with additionalProperties=true and a null default. The description supplies no field names, no example payload, and no indication of what the body must contain, so an agent cannot construct a valid call from any available source.

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 tool identifier restated with underscores ('api_settings_vulnerability_sla_update'); it names a resource and an update action only implicitly via the name, adding no verb+object phrasing of its own. It does not distinguish this from close siblings like api_settings_vulnerability_sla_retrieve or api_settings_vulnerability_sla_partial_update.

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, when-not-to-use, or alternative is stated. Critically, the sibling api_settings_vulnerability_sla_partial_update exists and the description never explains why an agent would pick full update over partial update.

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