Set language properties

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

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false, and idempotentHint=false. The description adds the method call and auth note but does not disclose other behavioral traits (e.g., error handling, idempotency, or effect on existing properties). Minimal added value beyond annotations.

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 consists of two concise sentences. The first sentence states the purpose, and the second provides the method call and authentication note. No unnecessary words, and information is front-loaded.

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?

Although output schema and full param descriptions exist, the description lacks context on valid property names for the 'data' parameter and does not explain behavior when language is null. Given the complexity of the data parameter (nested object), this is a significant gap.

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?

All parameters are described in the input schema (100% coverage). The description does not add any additional meaning or examples for parameters like 'data' or 'language'. Baseline score of 3 since schema already covers parameter meaning.

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 'Update localized survey properties' which specifies the verb (update) and resource (localized survey properties). It also mentions the underlying LimeSurvey RemoteControl method, distinguishing it from siblings like get_language_properties.

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 provides authentication guidance ('do not provide a session key') but lacks explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use instructions relative to sibling tools. It implies usage for updating localized properties but does not compare with alternatives like set_survey_properties.

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