Update Prime Change Order

update_prime_change_order
Idempotent

Update a Prime Change Order in Procore by specifying the project and change order ID. Pass only the fields to modify; omitted fields retain their current values, and the updated record is returned.

Instructions

Update the specified Prime Change Order. This endpoint currently only supports projects using 1 and 2 tier change order configurations. Send only the fields you intend to change; omitted fields keep their current values. Pass the record's fields as top-level arguments — they are nested under "change_order" in the request payload for you. project_id defaults to the value set by procore_set_config when omitted, and id must identify an existing parent record — resolve it with the matching list tool first. Returns the modified prime change order on success. Failures come back as an error payload carrying the HTTP status — commonly 401 when the token has expired, 403 without tool permission, and 404 when an id does not resolve. Required parameters: project_id, id. Procore API: Construction Financials > Prime Contracts. Endpoint: PATCH /rest/v1.0/projects/{project_id}/prime_change_orders/{id}

Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the annotations (readOnly=false, idempotent=true, destructive=false), the description discloses key behaviors: partial update semantics, the automatic nesting of fields under 'change_order', project_id fallback to procore_set_config, expected return value, and common HTTP error statuses. This is rich, non-obvious context that fully informs the agent.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single, well-organized paragraph that front-loads the core action, then addresses constraints, usage, defaults, error handling, required parameters, and API reference. Every sentence carries useful information without redundancy, making it efficient for an AI agent to parse.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool's complexity (32 parameters, no output schema), the description covers the essential operational aspects: return value, failure modes, required parameters, and API endpoint. It also clarifies non-obvious behaviors like default project_id and payload nesting. This is sufficient for correct invocation without needing to consult external documentation.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

While the schema already covers all 32 parameters with descriptions (100% coverage), the description adds valuable meaning: fields should be passed as top-level arguments, project_id can default from configuration, and only specified fields are updated. These semantic clarifications exceed what the raw schema provides, though not every parameter needs explanation.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states 'Update the specified Prime Change Order' with a specific verb and resource, distinguishing it from sibling tools like create, delete, or batch update. It also includes the endpoint and API section, reinforcing its unique scope.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides clear context: it mentions a tier restriction (1 and 2 tier configurations), instructs to resolve the id with the matching list tool first, and explains the partial-update pattern. It lacks explicit 'when not to use' for batch or create alternatives, but the guidance is strong enough for an agent to choose correctly.

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