github_update_check_run

DestructiveIdempotent

Update a GitHub check run's status, conclusion, or output while enforcing project-scoped connector authority, approval, and idempotency rules.

Instructions

Github connector operation update_check_run (platform tool github.update_check_run).

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.

C2.4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already indicate destructive=true, readOnly=false, and idempotent=true. The description adds useful context about governed-connector routing, Spring verifying the claimed effect, and the approval_ref requirement for writes. However, it does not disclose the concrete destructive consequences or how an update might alter existing check run data, so the added behavioral context is partial.

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 short and the Args list is scannable, but the first sentence is redundant, repeating 'update_check_run' as both a connector operation and platform tool. The routing sentence and parameter list are concise, but the opening wastes space on restatement.

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?

An output schema exists, so return values are not the main gap. The main issue is that the tool's core behavior and the contents of the 'arguments' JSON payload are undocumented. With zero required parameters and zero schema-level descriptions, an agent cannot reliably determine what payload to send for a check run update.

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?

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description is the only source of parameter meaning. It does give short explanations for all seven parameters, including idempotency, effect verification, and approval resumption. However, the critical 'arguments' parameter is only described as 'JSON string of arguments for the connector operation,' which fails to explain what fields are actually needed for updating a check run.

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 name as 'Github connector operation `update_check_run`' and the platform tool identifier; it never states what updating a check run actually does or what fields it affects. The name alone suggests the action, but the text provides no semantic content beyond the name.

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?

No guidance is given about when to use this tool versus alternatives like github_create_check_run or github_list_check_runs. The only contextual sentence concerns routing through a governed connector authority, which is a constraint, not a usage guideline.

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