Update Assignees And Workflow Manager (Project)

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

Adds behavioral info beyond annotations: returns the modified object on success, specifies API endpoint and version. Annotations already show not read-only and not destructive; description is consistent and provides useful context.

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?

Two sentences plus API reference. Efficient but includes extra detail (API version) that might be redundant. Well-structured and front-loaded with core purpose.

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 complexity (5 params, no output schema), description covers purpose, usage (partial update), return value, required params, and API reference. Could mention what the modified object contains but not essential. Adequately complete.

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 baseline 3 is appropriate. Description mentions required parameters but adds no new meaning beyond the schema descriptions. No additional parameter semantics provided.

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?

Clearly states action (Updates assignees and workflow manager) and resource (workflow preset for a project tool). Distinguishes from siblings by specifying project scope and the specific sub-resource (assignees/manager vs the preset itself).

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?

Explicitly states 'only the supplied fields are changed', indicating partial update behavior. Lists required parameters. Does not mention when not to use or compare to sibling tools like the company version.

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