kaiten_update_space

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

With no annotations supplied, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure, but 'Update a Kaiten space' only indicates mutation. It does not describe partial-update semantics, required permission, side effects, or the response, which is especially important for a write operation with no annotation hints.

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 a single clear sentence with no redundant wording or clutter. It is highly concise, though it is so terse that it adds little beyond restating the tool name.

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 CRUD update with fully documented parameters, the minimal description plus input schema is workable, but no output schema or annotations exist and the description does not explain update semantics or return behavior. This is adequate but not complete.

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% and all seven parameters are documented in the input schema, so the baseline is 3. The description adds no parameter meaning beyond what the schema already provides.

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 states a specific action ('Update') and a specific resource ('a Kaiten space'), so the agent can identify the operation. It does not, however, add any distinguishing detail beyond the tool name, such as which space attributes are affected.

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 is provided for when to choose this tool over the many sibling tools, such as kaiten_create_space, kaiten_get_space, or kaiten_delete_space. The usage context is left entirely to inference from the tool name.

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