kaiten_update_sd_settings

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavior on its own. It only reveals that the operation is an update, but gives no information about side effects, required permissions, what happens to existing settings, or whether the update is partial or full.

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 only one short sentence and contains no waste, but it is under-specification rather than effective conciseness. It restates the tool name and does not earn its place by adding useful detail or structure.

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 an update operation with a nested object parameter, no annotations, and no output schema, this description is incomplete. It does not explain what settings can be changed, what is required, or what the consequences of invocation are.

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?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. However, the schema merely calls the parameter 'Service Desk configuration object,' which is nearly a restatement of the property name, and the description adds no further meaning about allowed fields or structure of the nested object.

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 'Update Service Desk settings' merely expands the tool name with spaces and a synonym ('sd' → 'Service Desk'). It does not specify which settings are affected or how this differs from sibling tools like kaiten_get_sd_settings or kaiten_update_sd_service.

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?

There is no guidance about when to use this tool versus alternatives. Sibling tools include related functions such as kaiten_get_sd_settings and kaiten_update_sd_service, but the description offers no context, exclusions, or conditions for selection.

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