Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only says 'Update', which implies mutation, but omits potential side effects (e.g., reorganizing child chats), permission requirements, reversibility, or error conditions. The lack of detail makes it difficult for an agent to understand the full impact.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single sentence, making it concise. However, it lacks structure and could benefit from additional sentences to provide essential details. It is not overly verbose, but the conciseness comes at the cost of completeness.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the lack of annotations, output schema, and low parameter documentation, the description is insufficient. It fails to explain the purpose of parent_id, return values, or the implications of re-parenting a folder. For a mutation tool affecting hierarchy, more context is needed.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters1/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0%, and the tool description adds no meaning to the parameters. The parameters id and parent_id are listed but not explained (e.g., what values parent_id can take, what a null value means). An agent cannot infer usage constraints from the description alone.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose3/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description 'Update Folder Parent Id By Id' clearly states the action and resource, but it merely restates the tool name without adding any additional context. This is minimally clear but does not distinguish from sibling tools that update other folder fields (e.g., update_folder_name_by_id).

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No usage guidance is provided. The description does not indicate when to use this tool versus alternatives like update_folder_name_by_id or update_chat_folder_id_by_id. There are no prerequisites, warnings, or contextual hints.

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