Update Webhooks Hook

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

Annotations already indicate this is a write operation (readOnlyHint=false). The description adds the important nuance that 'only the supplied fields are changed' (patch semantics). No additional behavioral traits like side effects or permissions are disclosed, but the annotation bar is lower.

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 three sentences totaling ~60 words. It front-loads the scope constraint, then the primary action, then the return value. The included API endpoint info is extra but not excessive. No wasted words.

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?

For a simple tool with one required parameter, the description is adequate. It states the return type ('modified object') but lacks detail on the response structure. Since there is no output schema, the agent may need additional context to fully understand the return value. The tool complexity is low, so a score of 3 is fair.

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 schema has 100% coverage for the single parameter 'id'. The description repeats that 'id' is required but adds no additional meaning beyond the schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 verb 'update' and the resource 'Webhooks'. It distinguishes from sibling tools like create or delete by explicitly saying 'update an existing Webhooks'. The title 'Update Webhooks Hook' reinforces this.

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 mentions a prerequisite ('Hooks must be updated within a company and/or project scope') but provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like create_webhooks_hook or delete_webhooks_hook. No explicit when-not or alternative tool references.

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