clio_update_matter

DestructiveIdempotent

Update a Clio matter via the project's connector account, routing through the exact governed authority to apply changes reliably.

Instructions

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

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

B3.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already convey readOnly=false, destructive=true, and idempotent=true, and the description adds useful context beyond them: the operation is bound to a governed project/account authority, the claimed `effect` is verified by Spring, and `approval_ref` is only needed when resuming a write. This gives an agent meaningful operational and approval awareness without contradicting the annotations.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is tightly structured: one identity sentence, one routing constraint, then a clean parameter list. There is no filler or redundant repetition of schema details.

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?

For a governed connector wrapper, the description covers routing and all platform parameters, and an output schema exists so return values are covered. However, it never explains what a Clio matter update entails, what fields belong inside `arguments`, or which parameters must actually be populated for a valid call, leaving an agent short of what it needs to construct a correct update.

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

Parameters4/5

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

With 0% schema description coverage, the description compensates by assigning roles to all 7 parameters: project_id as Authenticated Project UUID, project_ref as exact correlation reference, idempotency_key as stable business-action identity, and approval_ref as approved write-resume UUID. The `arguments` line is shallow, but the platform-parameter semantics are useful beyond what the schema types alone provide.

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 opens by restating the tool name as 'Clio connector operation update_matter' rather than explaining what the operation actually does to a Clio matter. It adds routing/authority context but never states the business effect, such as changing an existing matter's fields, nor does it distinguish behavior from sibling Clio read/create/delete tools.

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 call this tool versus clio_create_matter, clio_get_matter, or other update_* siblings. The only constraint—'Routes only through the exact project/account governed connector authority'—is a routing prerequisite, not a usage criterion.

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