update_memory_by_id_api_v1_memories

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only says 'Update' which implies mutation but does not disclose side effects, idempotency, or any other behavioral traits beyond the name.

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 concise (3 words) but at the expense of completeness. While brevity is valued, it lacks structure and front-loads no critical information beyond the name.

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?

Given the complexity of an update operation with two parameters and an output schema (unknown content), the description is too sparse. It does not differentiate from many sibling memory tools or explain what the tool returns.

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?

Schema description coverage is 0%, meaning no parameter descriptions in the schema. The description does not add meaning to the parameters (memory_id, content). Although parameter names are clear, the description misses the opportunity to explain what content represents or any constraints.

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 Memory By Id' clearly states the action (update) and resource (memory) with identifier. It distinguishes from sibling tools like add_memory or delete_memory_by_id, but lacks detail on what exactly is updated beyond the schema.

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 usage guidelines provided. No mention of when to use this tool vs alternatives, prerequisites (e.g., memory must exist), or any context about when not to use it.

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