Update Power_outlet

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

Description adds PATCH semantics (partial update) and return format details beyond annotations. No contradiction with annotations (idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=true).

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?

Three focused sentences: purpose, usage instruction, return format. No fluff, front-loaded with key info.

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?

Adequate for basic updates but lacks detail on parameter constraints, validation, and return value structure. With no output schema, more detail on response would improve completeness.

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 coverage is low (36%). Description only elaborates on 'id' and 'response_format'. Other parameters (name, type, etc.) lack explanation, failing to compensate for missing schema descriptions.

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 action 'Update' and resource 'power_outlet in NetBox', specifying PATCH semantics. Distinguishes from sibling create/get tools by focusing on modification of existing object.

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?

Provides clear instructions: supply numeric 'id' and only fields to change. Implicitly excludes alternatives like create (for new) and get (for read). No explicit 'when not to use' but context sufficient.

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