put_fw_redir_redir_id

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavioral traits. It says 'Update' but does not mention that the update is partial (only provided fields are changed), any required permissions, side effects, or that the tool is destructive. The error codes hint at possible failures, but the description lacks depth for a mutation tool.

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 one sentence plus error codes. It is front-loaded with the core action. However, it could benefit from a brief usage context without sacrificing 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?

Given the tool's complexity (12 parameters, nested objects, many siblings), the description is incomplete. It omits how the host object is used, whether the update is partial, and what the response contains. With an output schema present, the return values are covered elsewhere, but the description still lacks sufficient context for correct invocation.

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 input schema has 92% description coverage, so the schema already documents most parameters well. The description adds only error codes, not additional meaning beyond what the schema provides. Baseline 3 is appropriate since the schema does the heavy lifting.

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 clearly states 'Update a PortForwardingConfig properties,' which is a specific verb+resource combination. It distinguishes this tool from siblings like get_fw_redir_redir_id and delete_fw_redir_redir_id.

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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as the related get or delete tools. It only lists error codes, which is insufficient for an AI agent to decide when to invoke this tool.

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