Update Quality Definition

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

No annotations provided. The description mentions 'Requires confirm=true' which indicates a confirmation step, but it does not disclose whether the operation is destructive, reversible, or requires special permissions. With no annotations, the description carries the full burden and falls short.

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?

The description is extremely short (one sentence), but it sacrifices necessary detail. It is not front-loaded with the most critical information, and the sentence could be more informative without being overly verbose.

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?

Given the tool's complexity (15 parameters, 3 required, nested objects, no output schema), the description is severely incomplete. The agent lacks context about what 'body' contains, the role of 'app', and how this tool differs from similar update tools in the sibling list.

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%, meaning the description adds no meaning beyond parameter names. Only 'id' and 'confirm' are mentioned, but 'confirm' is already a required const:true in the schema. The description does not explain the purpose or format of critical parameters like 'body' and 'app'.

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 states 'Update a quality definition by id' which is a specific verb and resource, but it lacks differentiation from sibling tools like update_quality_profile. The term 'quality definition' is somewhat generic and could be ambiguous.

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 tool versus alternatives. No exclusions, prerequisites, or context provided. The description does not mention any siblings or scenarios.

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