Update Company Folder

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

The description adds that 'only the supplied fields are changed' (partial update) and 'returns the modified object on success,' which supplements the annotations (readOnlyHint: false). However, it does not disclose side effects, error conditions, or permission needs.

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 concise with only a few sentences, but the typo 'Documents' and slight redundancy (repeating 'Update company Folder') reduce effectiveness. It includes helpful API endpoint information.

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 7 parameters and no output schema, the description explains the update behavior and return, but omits error handling, prerequisite existence, and permission requirements. It is adequate but not thorough.

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?

The description lists required parameters (company_id, id, name) but adds no additional meaning beyond the 100% schema-covered input schema. The note about partial update is already implied by the HTTP PATCH method mentioned.

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 clearly states the tool updates a company folder, but refers to 'Documents' instead of 'folder', causing minor confusion. The purpose is mostly clear and distinguishes from create/delete siblings.

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?

The description says 'Use this to update an existing Documents' implying when to use, but lacks explicit guidance on when not to use or alternatives like create or delete. It provides minimal usage direction.

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