twprojects-update_jobrole

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

Annotations indicate readOnlyHint=false and idempotentHint=false, so the description should clarify behavioral traits like permissions required, side effects, or return value. It only says 'Update job role', adding no value beyond the name. Without annotations, this would be a 1.

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?

At three words, the description is extremely concise but lacks structure. It reads like a heading, not a functional description. Conciseness should not sacrifice clarity, which it does here.

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 tool's complexity (2 parameters, no output schema, no nested objects) and the absence of any contextual information in the description, it fails to guide an agent adequately. There is no mention of return values, typical usage, or data constraints.

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 100%, with descriptions for both 'id' and 'name' parameters. The tool description adds nothing beyond the schema, so baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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 job role' uses a verb-resource structure, indicating a write operation. However, it lacks differentiation from sibling tools like 'twprojects-create_jobrole' or 'twprojects-get_jobrole', and does not specify what aspects of a job role can be updated. The purpose is clear but minimal.

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 on when to use this tool versus alternatives. There is no mention of prerequisites (e.g., the job role must exist), or scenarios where this tool is appropriate. The description provides no usage context.

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