Update Qmetry test case status

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

No annotations are provided, so the description bears full burden. It only says 'update', implying mutation, but doesn't disclose whether it's a full or partial update, idempotency, permissions, or side effects. The required fields suggest a full update, but this is not stated.

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 very brief at one sentence, but it sacrifices substance for brevity. It lacks critical details about the tool's behavior and usage. Being concise is good, but here it's under-specified.

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 mutation tool with 5 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is incomplete. It doesn't explain the return value, confirm success, or specify that statusId must come from a specific API call. Key context is missing.

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 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema's parameter descriptions. While schema descriptions are adequate (e.g., 'New color code for the status (hex format)'), the tool description doesn't enhance understanding.

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?

Description states 'update an existing test case status' with clear verb+resource. However, it's ambiguous whether it updates the status definition or the status field of a test case. The tool name and sibling tools (create-qmetry-test-case-status, delete-qmetry-test-case-status) imply status definitions, but the description doesn't clarify.

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?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like create or delete status, or other update tools. No prerequisites mentioned (e.g., obtaining statusId from get-qmetry-test-case-statuses). The description is silent on usage context.

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