clio_update_grant

DestructiveIdempotent

Updates a grant in Clio via the governed connector, routing through the exact project-bound account authority. Submit the arguments, project reference, and idempotency key to apply the change.

Instructions

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

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

C2.1/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already indicate destructive and non-read-only behavior. The description adds some context about the approval flow ('effect' claimed read/write and 'approval_ref' for resuming a write), which provides additional transparency beyond the annotations, though it remains limited.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

The description is reasonably brief and includes a structured parameter list, but it opens with redundant statements that essentially repeat the tool name. The routing sentence is abstract and adds little clarity for an agent.

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

Completeness2/5

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

The description is incomplete for actual usage: it omits which parameters are required, what the 'arguments' should contain, what the update effects are, and what the output schema looks like. Given the tool has 7 optional parameters and a potentially complex domain entity, this is insufficient guidance.

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

Parameters2/5

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

The schema has 0% description coverage, so the parameter descriptions in the text are the sole source. While each parameter gets a one-line explanation, the critical 'arguments' parameter is only described as a 'JSON string of arguments' without specifying required structure or fields for the grant update, leaving essential semantics undefined.

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 states it is a 'Clio connector operation update_grant' but does not clearly define what a 'grant' is in this context or what the update entails. It mostly restates the tool name and adds a routing constraint, leaving the primary purpose vague.

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

Usage Guidelines1/5

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 other update tools in the sibling list (e.g., update_crm_task, update_invoice). The routing statement is an authorization constraint, not a usage recommendation or differentiation from alternatives.

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