Behavior3/5

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

Annotations show readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false, so the tool is not read-only nor destructive. The description adds that it only changes supplied fields (partial update) and returns the modified object. No contradiction, but no further behavioral traits like auth requirements or idempotency are disclosed.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

The description is three sentences long, covering purpose, usage, required params, and API details. It is front-loaded with the action. The inclusion of the API endpoint may be slightly extraneous but is concise and informative.

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

Completeness3/5

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

Given the high parameter count (29) and the existence of complex fields (admin-only, deprecated), the description is adequate for a basic update operation. It does not explain field interactions or edge cases, but the schema descriptions fill some gaps. No output schema exists, but the return value is mentioned.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Input schema has 100% description coverage for all 29 parameters, so the baseline is 3. The description only highlights the two required parameters (project_id, id) which are already in the schema. It does not add new semantic meaning beyond what the schema provides.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description clearly states it updates an existing RFI and returns the modified object. 'Updates a specified RFI' is a specific verb+resource combination. It doesn't explicitly distinguish from sibling tools like 'batch_update_rfis', but the singular update is implied.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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 RFI records', giving the primary usage. However, it does not mention when not to use it (e.g., batch updates) or provide guidance on prerequisites beyond required parameters.

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