sonarr_update_downloadclient_bulk

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

The description adds 'WRITE: this modifies your Sonarr instance,' which is a helpful state-change warning, but this merely mirrors the annotation readOnlyHint=false. No additional behavioral context is given, such as what fields are affected, whether the operation is reversible, or any side effects.

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, but it is under-specified rather than appropriately concise. The first sentence repeats the tool name, and the second repeats the annotation. Neither earns its place with new information, and there is no structural breakdown of the operation.

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 write operation with a generic body parameter and an output schema, the description provides almost no context. It fails to explain what a 'bulk update' of downloadclients means, what the body should contain, or how this endpoint behaves compared to related tools. The output schema exists, but the input is completely undocumented.

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 contains a single generic 'body' object with no property descriptions and additionalProperties: true. Schema coverage is 0%, and the description provides no hints about the expected payload structure, required fields, or example values, leaving the agent completely in the dark.

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 'Update downloadclient bulk' is essentially a restatement of the tool name. It identifies the verb and resource but adds no detail about what 'bulk update' entails or how it differs from the singular 'sonarr_update_downloadclient' sibling. The WRITE warning is generic and already implied by the annotation.

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 bulk endpoint versus the singular update endpoint, nor are any prerequisites or alternative tools mentioned. The description gives no context for choosing this tool over its siblings.

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