Update Restrictions

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must bear the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only notes the confirm parameter requirement and does not explain whether the operation is destructive, idempotent, or requires special permissions.

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 very concise with two short sentences, but it sacrifices informative content. It is not verbose, but conciseness should not come at the expense of utility.

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 15 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is severely incomplete. It fails to explain the tool's functionality, parameter semantics, or behavioral traits, leaving an agent unsure how to invoke it correctly.

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%, meaning no parameter descriptions in the schema. The description adds no information about the 15 parameters, not even for the required ones (app, body, confirm). This is a critical gap for tool invocation.

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 release profile restrictions,' clearly specifying the verb and resource (release profile restrictions). This distinguishes it from sibling tools that update other resources (e.g., update_quality_profile). However, it could be more specific about what 'restrictions' entails.

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?

The description mentions 'Requires confirm=true' but provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. Given many sibling update tools (e.g., update_custom_format, update_quality_profile), no context is given for choosing this one.

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