update-typo-tolerance

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It discloses the tool mutates settings ('update') but lacks details on permissions, side effects, reversibility, or response format. For a mutation tool with zero annotation coverage, this is a significant gap in behavioral context.

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 a single, efficient sentence with zero waste—it directly states the tool's purpose without unnecessary words. It's appropriately sized and front-loaded for clarity.

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 mutation tool with no annotations, no output schema, and incomplete behavioral disclosure, the description is inadequate. It doesn't explain what 'typo tolerance' means, the impact of updates, or return values, leaving gaps in understanding despite schema coverage.

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 100%, so parameters 'indexUid' and 'value' are documented in the schema. The description adds no additional meaning beyond implying these parameters are used for updating, aligning with the baseline score when schema handles documentation.

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 'Update the typo tolerance setting' clearly states the action (update) and target (typo tolerance setting), but it's vague about what 'typo tolerance' entails and doesn't distinguish from siblings like 'get-typo-tolerance' or 'reset-typo-tolerance'. It specifies the resource but lacks detail on scope or effect.

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 like 'reset-typo-tolerance' or 'get-typo-tolerance', nor prerequisites such as needing an existing index. Usage is implied by the verb 'update', but no explicit context or exclusions are provided.

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