update_call

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

Annotations are absent, so description must carry full burden. It only mentions setting 'resolved' status, but does not disclose any behavioral traits like idempotency, side effects, or error conditions.

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?

Two sentences with no redundancy, but under-specification makes it less effective. Every sentence earns its place, but more information is needed.

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?

With 7 parameters and 0% schema coverage, the description is insufficient. Only one parameter is mentioned. Output schema exists but is not described, which could compensate.

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?

Schema description coverage is 0%, yet description only elaborates on 'resolved' with a brief hint. Other parameters (message, call_for, call_type, caller_name, caller_phone_number) are completely unexplained.

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 'Update a call log entry' with the verb 'update' and resource 'call log entry'. This differentiates from siblings like create_call and delete_call. The mention of 'resolved' adds specificity.

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?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., create_call, delete_call). No exclusions or context provided.

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