seerr_create_settings_notifications_gotify

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

The description explicitly states 'WRITE: this modifies your Seerr instance', which adds a behavioral warning beyond the annotations. However, it does not detail side effects such as whether existing settings are fully overwritten or partially merged, or whether authentication is required.

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, brief sentence that front-loads the verb and resource. It earns its place by including the WRITE warning, making it appropriately concise with no wasted words.

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?

Despite having an output schema (not shown), the description is incomplete for a mutation tool. It lacks guidance on the request body structure, required fields, and whether the operation is idempotent. The sibling tools do not help here. This makes it hard to invoke correctly without external knowledge.

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 a single 'body' parameter with no description (0% schema coverage). The description provides no hints about what the body should contain (e.g., enabled, url, token), leaving the agent without enough information to construct a valid request.

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 ('Update Gotify notification settings') and the resource (Gotify settings). However, the verb 'Update' conflicts slightly with the tool name 'create_settings_notifications_gotify', creating minor ambiguity about create-vs-update semantics.

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 is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like seerr_list_settings_notifications_gotify or seerr_create_settings_notifications_gotify_test. The only context is the WRITE warning, which does not clarify usage scenarios.

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