clio_update_custom_action

DestructiveIdempotent

Update a custom action in Clio through the governed connector, passing authenticated project and approval references to execute the operation.

Instructions

Clio connector operation update_custom_action (platform tool clio.update_custom_action).

Routes only through the exact project/account governed connector authority.

Args: arguments: JSON string of arguments for the connector operation. project_id: Authenticated Project UUID. project_ref: Exact project correlation reference. connector_account_ref: Project-bound connector account alias. idempotency_key: Stable business-action identity. effect: Claimed read or write effect; Spring verifies it. approval_ref: Approved platform task UUID when resuming a write.

TDQS

C2.9/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

The description adds useful context beyond the annotations: it discloses that effects are claimed as read or write and verified by Spring, that approval_ref is needed when resuming a write, and that idempotency_key is a stable business-action identity. These details complement the destructiveHint and idempotentHint annotations without contradicting them.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is compact, front-loaded with the operation identity and routing constraint, and uses a clean arg list with no filler. Each parameter gets a single line, making the structure scannable. The redundant restatement of the operation name is minor.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

The description covers all parameters and important governance/approval behavior, and an output schema exists, so return-value documentation is not needed. However, it lacks operational specifics about what the update changes, what the arguments should contain, and when the tool is appropriate, leaving the agent to infer the actual Clio action semantics.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description must compensate, and it does provide one-line semantics for all seven parameters. However, several explanations are vague ('Exact project correlation reference', 'JSON string of arguments for the connector operation') and do not specify expected formats, valid values, or argument structure. It is adequate but leaves critical gaps.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose2/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description only restates the tool's name ('Clio connector operation update_custom_action') without saying what updating a custom action actually does. It names the domain and platform tool, but provides no concrete verb+resource behavior beyond the name itself, and does not differentiate from sibling tools like create/get/delete custom action.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The routing statement ('Routes only through the exact project/account governed connector authority') is an operational constraint, not a usage criterion. No exclusions, alternatives, or trigger conditions are mentioned.

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