tracecat_update_trigger_position

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

The description indicates a non-destructive update to the workflow graph. However, it does not disclose potential side effects, permissions required, or that it modifies the graph structure beyond the coordinate update. With no annotations, more transparency would be beneficial.

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 sentences clearly convey the tool's purpose and a recommended default. No extraneous information, well-structured and front-loaded.

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?

For a simple repositioning task, the description is largely sufficient. However, it could briefly explain the concept of a trigger node in the workflow graph to improve clarity, though not strictly necessary given the tool's simplicity.

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 schema covers all parameters with brief descriptions. The tool description adds value by suggesting a default recommended position '(500, 0)', which guides parameter usage beyond the schema.

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 action ('reposition the trigger node') and the resource (workflow graph). It distinguishes from sibling tools like tracecat_move_nodes by specifying 'trigger node', making its purpose unique.

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 provides a default recommended position but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., tracecat_move_nodes). No guidance on prerequisites or context.

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