notion_update_page

DestructiveIdempotent

Update Notion page content through your project's connected account. It verifies the requested effect and uses idempotency to avoid duplicate updates.

Instructions

Notion connector operation update_page (platform tool notion.update_page).

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 carry readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=true; the description adds meaningful behavior beyond that by explaining that writes require an approval_ref, that the effect is claimed and verified by Spring, and that routing is restricted to the governed connector authority. This gives the agent useful operational context 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 front-loaded with the operation identity, adds one routing constraint, and then presents a compact parameter list with no filler or repetition. Every sentence earns its place and the structure makes the wrapper semantics easy to scan.

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 routing, idempotency, effect, and approval parameters are covered, and an output schema exists so return values do not need explanation. However, the core argument payload for updating a Notion page (e.g. page identifier and properties inside arguments) is left unspecified, and there is no guidance on when effect should be read versus write, so an agent may not be able to construct a valid call without external knowledge.

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?

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description carries the burden, and it does provide semantic labels for all seven parameters: arguments as JSON string, project_id as Authenticated Project UUID, idempotency_key as stable business-action identity, and effect as a Spring-verified read/write claim. It stops short of explaining the expected shape inside the arguments JSON string or which routing parameters are actually required.

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 names the operation as 'Notion connector operation update_page' and references platform tool notion.update_page, but it never states that this updates a Notion page or what the update affects. This restates the tool name and leaves the actual semantics to inference, without differentiating from sibling tools such as notion_update_page_markdown or notion_bulk_update_pages.

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 invoke this tool versus the many Notion sibling operations. The only contextual note, 'Routes only through the exact project/account governed connector authority', is an access constraint, not a usage guideline, and no alternatives or exclusion conditions are mentioned.

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