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

The annotations already declare destructiveHint=true, and the description's 'soft-delete' phrase clarifies that the destructive action is non-permanent, adding nuance beyond the raw annotation. It does not detail side effects or return values, but this is acceptable given the annotation coverage.

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 two short sentences with no redundancy. The first sentence states the purpose and scope; the second provides a critical parameter usage note. Every word earns its place.

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 simple update tool with a full schema and a destructive hint annotation, the description is adequate. It specifies the allowed actions and the parameter naming pitfall. The lack of return-value information is acceptable given no output schema and the straightforward nature 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?

The schema covers all three parameters with descriptions (100% coverage), but the description adds a practical hint 'Use name field (not title)' that helps avoid common naming mistakes. It also confirms that the deleted flag is for soft-delete, aligning with the schema's description.

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 verb 'Update' and the resource 'sprint sticker', and enumerates the specific actions ('name or soft-delete'). This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like yougile_update_string_sticker or yougile_update_sprint_sticker_state.

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 does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., create, get, or list). The context is implied by the 'update' verb and the mention of soft-delete, but no direct guidance or alternative exclusions are provided.

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