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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It discloses patch semantics, null clearing for nullable fields, and position ordering. Lacks details on return value or potential side effects, but mutation nature is clear.

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 concise with no superfluous words. Sentences are well-structured: purpose first, then specific behaviors, and a key exclusion (id immutability).

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?

Given no output schema, description doesn't explain return values. It covers key behavioral aspects but omits error cases or prerequisites. Still, it is fairly complete for an update operation in this toolset.

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 coverage is 50% (only id has description). Description adds value by explaining patch object semantics, which fields are nullable, and position meaning. However, it doesn't describe each property individually (e.g., display_name).

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 it patches fields on an existing project, distinguishing it from sibling tools like create or archive. It explains partial update semantics and explicitly notes the immutable id field.

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?

Provides explicit guidance on when to use (patch existing project) and when not to (cannot change id; suggests creating and migrating instead). This helps the agent choose appropriately among siblings.

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