forge_dynamic_behavior_set_update

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It states 'Only provided fields are changed,' which communicates a PATCH-like behavior. However, it omits other behavioral traits such as required permissions, rate limits, idempotency, or error handling, leaving significant gaps for an agent to discover.

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 extremely concise—two short sentences that immediately state the purpose and a key behavioral trait. Every word adds value with no redundancy. The structure is front-loaded with the core action.

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 the tool has 6 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is too sparse. It fails to explain return values, side effects, validation rules beyond the schema, or how the partial update interacts with default values. An agent would need to experiment or consult additional documentation.

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 input schema has 100% description coverage, so the baseline is 3. The description adds no further parameter-specific meaning beyond the schema; it only reiterates the partial update behavior. This is acceptable but does not improve understanding beyond what the schema already provides.

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 verb 'Update' and the resource 'dynamic behavior set metadata', which is specific. It adds the detail 'Only provided fields are changed,' clarifying partial update behavior. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from the 'create' sibling tool, which would help an agent choose between them.

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 no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., forge_dynamic_behavior_set_create). It does not mention prerequisites, when not to use it, or any exclusions. An agent would need to infer usage from the tool name alone.

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