seerr_update_overriderule

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

The description's "WRITE" and "modifies your Seerr instance" merely restate what the annotations already indicate via readOnlyHint=false. It adds no additional behavioral context like side effects, required permissions, or reversibility, which are especially lacking for a mutation tool.

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 very short and front-loaded with the action. However, the phrase "this modifies your Seerr instance" is somewhat redundant given the annotations, though it does not add significant bloat. Overall, it is concise but at the expense of necessary detail.

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 mutation tool, the description lacks crucial context: it does not state what an override rule is, how to determine the rule_id, or what the update entails beyond generic modification. The presence of an output schema reduces the need to explain return values, but the description still fails to provide a complete picture of the operation.

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%, and the description does not explain the single parameter rule_id. While the parameter name is somewhat self-explanatory as an identifier, the description fails to clarify its purpose, format, or how to obtain a valid rule_id, leaving the agent to infer.

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 states the tool's action clearly: "Update override rule" - a specific verb and resource. It is not a tautology and is distinguishable from siblings by the name, but the description itself does not explicitly differentiate from create/delete/list rules.

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 usage context, such as when to update an existing rule versus creating or deleting one. It only states that the tool modifies the Seerr instance, offering no guidance on prerequisites, alternatives, or scenarios.

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