assign_drp_alert

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only labels the operation as a 'mutation' and gives an example input payload. It does not state side effects, overwrite behavior, permission requirements, or what happens to existing assignments or comments.

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 extremely concise and front-loaded with the operation name and resource. The example variables are helpful, though the 'Variables: input' phrase is boilerplate. Overall, it is compact and logically structured, but the brevity comes at the cost of explanatory content.

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 with no output schema and no annotations, the description should explain what assigning a DRP alert entails, what 'shortCode' means, whether comment is required, and what the response contains. The example variables partially compensate, but the description remains incomplete for correct tool selection and invocation.

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?

Although the schema covers top-level parameters, the input object is only described as 'GraphQL: DRPAlertAssignmentInput!', which is meaningless without nested field definitions. The example variables add concrete field names and placeholder values (assignee, comment, shortCode), providing the most useful semantic detail for constructing a valid input.

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 opens with 'DRP Alerts · mutation assignDRPAlert', which largely restates the tool name and does not provide a plain-language statement of what the tool does. The example variables hint at assigning via an 'assignee' field, but the purpose remains implicit and does not clearly differentiate from the sibling 'assign_drp_alerts' tool.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as unassign_drp_alert, watch_drp_alert, or update_drp_alert_state. The description does not mention prerequisites, whether it handles single vs. bulk assignment, or any exclusions.

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