rename_vault_file

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

The description discloses the important side effect of updating wiki links, which is good. However, it does not mention behavior when newPath exists, permission requirements, or other edge cases, and annotations are absent.

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 sentence that front-loads the action (rename/move) and key side effect, with no wasted words.

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?

Given no output schema and minimal parameter info, the description covers the primary function but lacks details on overwrite behavior and path format, which are relevant for correct tool invocation.

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 0%, and the description does not explain what 'path' and 'newPath' represent (e.g., absolute vs relative paths). While context makes it somewhat inferable, the lack of explicit parameter semantics is a gap.

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 the tool renames or moves a vault file and updates wiki links, which is specific and distinguishes it from sibling tools like rename_heading or delete_vault_file.

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 implies usage for renaming files with link updates but provides no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance, nor does it reference alternatives like rename_heading.

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