update_user_by_id_api_v1_users

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

With no annotations, the description should disclose mutation behavior. Saying 'Update' implies a write operation, but it gives no details on side effects, authorization requirements, or what happens to fields not specified (e.g., password, profile).

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 (4 words), but this brevity sacrifices essential details. It is under-specified rather than efficiently informative.

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 no annotations, zero schema description coverage, and an output schema, the description fails to provide necessary context. It is entirely inadequate for an agent to understand the tool's behavior and parameters.

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%, so the description must add parameter meaning. It does not explain the role of user_id, constraints on email, name, or password, leaving the agent to rely solely on titles.

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 User By Id' is a tautology that merely restates the tool's name. It does not specify what fields are updated or differentiate from many sibling update tools (e.g., update_user_info_by_session_user, update_user_status_by_session_user).

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 vs. alternatives. The description lacks context about prerequisites, such as whether admin rights are needed or how it differs from user-specific profile updates.

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