Update Subcategory Name

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

Annotations indicate non-read-only and non-destructive, but the description contradicts itself on whether the tool creates or updates. It fails to clarify idempotency, permissions, or side effects beyond what annotations already convey.

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 repetitive and contradictory, including unnecessary endpoint details and conflicting statements. It wastes words and lacks clear structure, making it harder for an agent to parse quickly.

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?

Without an output schema, the description should clarify return values, but it inconsistently mentions both UUID and created object. It omits error handling, prerequisites, and impact on existing records, leaving key gaps.

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 input schema already provides 100% documentation coverage for all five parameters. The description adds little beyond listing required parameters, so it meets the baseline but does not compensate for any gaps.

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 starts by stating it updates a subcategory name, but then contradicts itself by saying it creates new Resource Planning records and returns the created object. This confuses the core purpose and will mislead an AI agent.

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?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like update_category_name or add_subcategory_to_category. It only provides a tautological statement about performing the update action, offering no value for tool selection.

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