Bulk Update WBS Codes

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

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false, etc. Description adds that only supplied fields are changed and returns modified object, which is useful but does not deeply disclose behaviors like error handling, limits, or side effects beyond what annotations cover.

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?

Description is concise with a few sentences, each adding value. The inclusion of the Procore API endpoint is slightly extraneous for an agent, but overall efficient.

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 description only mentions 'returns the modified object on success' without specifying structure. Missing details on error cases, batch size limits, or prerequisites for a bulk update operation.

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 description adds minimal value beyond restating required parameters. The description does not elaborate on the 'ids' and 'attributes' parameters beyond what schema provides.

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?

Description clearly states bulk update of WBS codes with same status, and that only supplied fields are changed. It is specific but does not explicitly distinguish from sibling tools like bulk_create_wbs_codes or update_a_wbs_code.

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?

Description says 'Use this to update an existing Work Breakdown Structure records' which implies usage, but does not provide when-not-to-use or mention alternative tools. No explicit exclusions.

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