update_webex_space

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

Discloses that is_locked and is_moderated are the same property. No annotations; misses side effects, permissions, or rate limits.

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?

Front-loaded with purpose and alias note. Parameter list is clear but could be more structured. Efficient overall.

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?

Good parameter coverage but lacks behavioral context like idempotency, error handling, or output details. Adequate for an update tool with no output schema.

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?

Provides descriptions for all 8 parameters, adding meaning beyond schema titles. Clarifies locked/moderated synonym. Schema coverage 0% makes this valuable.

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?

Clear verb 'update' and resource 'existing Webex space'; distinguishes from sibling by noting it's an alias for update_webex_room.

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?

Explicitly states it's an alias for update_webex_room, clarifying equivalent purpose. Lacks when-not or alternatives to other tools like create or delete.

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