Update Vlan_translation_policy

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

The description explains PATCH semantics (only provided fields changed), complementing annotations (destructiveHint, idempotentHint). No contradictions, but lacks details on authorization or side effects.

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?

Two short paragraphs, front-loaded with key info. No fluff or redundancy.

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 return format with chaining tip and PATCH behavior. No output schema, but description is adequate for an update tool.

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 40% (only id and response_format have descriptions). The description does not elaborate on the three undocumented parameters (name, comments, description), failing to compensate.

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 an existing vlan_translation_policy' with 'PATCH semantics', specifying the action and resource. It distinguishes from create/get/delete siblings.

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?

Instructions to supply numeric 'id' and only fields to change are clear. However, no explicit when-not or alternative tools (e.g., create) are mentioned.

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