bulk_update_drp_alert_state

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It does not explain effects beyond 'mutation', such as whether the operation is reversible, what permissions are required, failure handling, or any side effects. The provided variables only list field names without explaining their behavior.

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 prose is minimal but the example variables form a long, truncated block that dumps fields without explanation or structure. The description is not a clean, front-loaded summary; it mixes a terse mutation label with a messy example that is cut off mid-way.

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?

This is a complex bulk mutation tool with no output schema and no annotations. The description fails to specify what state is actually being updated (e.g., open/closed), how the filter interacts with the update, or the return value. It is severely incomplete for an agent to invoke the tool confidently.

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 schema only describes 'input' as 'GraphQL: BulkUpdateDrpAlertStateInput!', which is unhelpful. The description's example variables add real meaning by enumerating filter fields (active, alertExternalIds, alertFingerprints, assetLabelIds, etc.) and showing the 'comment' field, giving an agent a concrete sense of the expected input structure beyond the schema.

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 merely restates the tool's name as 'mutation bulkUpdateDrpAlertState' without a clear verb-object statement of what the tool does. The example variables hint at filtering and a comment, but the purpose (updating state of multiple DRP alerts) is only inferable from the tool name itself, not the description.

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 update_drp_alert_state for single alerts or bulk_close_drp_alerts for closing. The description offers no context on prerequisites, filtering considerations, or scenarios where bulk mutation is appropriate.

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