Set container auto-update

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

The description adds that the tool toggles auto-update for a specific container, which is consistent with annotations (readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true). However, it does not reveal side effects or permission requirements beyond what annotations already convey.

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

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

The description is a single, concise sentence that front-loads the key information. Every word is essential and there is no redundant or extraneous content.

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

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

For a simple toggle tool with three well-documented parameters and no output schema, the description adequately covers the main purpose. It does not mention return values or error scenarios, but these are less critical given the tool's simplicity.

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

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

The input schema has 100% description coverage for all three parameters (environmentId, containerId, enabled). The description adds no new semantic meaning beyond summarizing the tool's action, so the baseline of 3 is appropriate.

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

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

The description clearly states the action 'enable or disable automatic updates' and the resource 'specific container'. It is distinct from sibling tools like arcane_container_update (updates general settings) and arcane_updater_update_container (triggers an update), but does not explicitly differentiate itself.

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

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

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool over alternatives, such as arcane_container_update or arcane_updater_update_container. No prerequisites, context, or exclusions are mentioned.

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