Bulk Update Company Action Plan Template Item Assignees

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

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false. The description adds that 'only the supplied fields are changed', which is a partial update hint, but does not disclose failure behavior or side effects beyond the openWorldHint annotation.

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 short but contains redundancy and awkward phrasing. It includes API endpoint info which is helpful, but could be more concise.

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?

No output schema, and the description merely says 'returns the modified object on success' without details on error handling, partial updates, or prerequisites. For a bulk operation, this is insufficient.

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 coverage is 100%, so the schema already describes parameters. The description repeats required parameters but adds no semantic detail about the format of plan_template_item_assignees or the meaning of completion_mode beyond the schema.

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 it updates multiple Action Plan Assignees, but also inconsistently says 'Updates the specified Action Plans', blurring the resource. Among siblings like 'bulk_update_action_plan_item_assignees', the distinction is unclear without deeper inspection.

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 explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus similar siblings (e.g., bulk_update_action_plan_item_assignees). No exclusions or alternatives mentioned.

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