update_webex_team

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

No annotations provided, so the description carries the burden. It discloses that the tool modifies team attributes, requires moderator role, and returns a standardized response. Lacks detail on whether the update is idempotent or any side effects beyond the forbidden error.

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?

Concise: first sentence states purpose, followed by a critical access note, then parameter documentation. Front-loaded with essential information. Slightly verbose in Arg formatting but acceptable.

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?

Covers purpose, usage condition, parameters, and return type. Given no output schema, the return description is adequate. For a simple update tool, this is sufficiently 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?

The description lists each parameter with its purpose (team_id required, name/description optional). This adds meaning beyond the schema which only provides types and titles. The Args section compensates for the 0% schema description coverage indicated in context.

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?

Clearly states it updates a Webex team's name and/or description. The verb 'update' and resource 'team' are specific. Among sibling tools, it is distinct as the only update for teams.

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 the bot must be a team moderator, otherwise the operation fails with a forbidden error. This provides clear when-to-use and when-not-to-use guidance.

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