update_interview

Modify a scheduled interview's time, interviewers, location, or video link. Use the interview ID to correct scheduling details and replace panel members.

Instructions

Update a scheduled interview's time, interviewers, or location. Write operation.

To find interview_id: list_interviews_for_application on the candidate's app. For new interviewer_ids: list_users → match by name. When replacing interviewers, existing panel members keep their RSVP; new ones start as needs_action.

TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description must carry the behavioral load, and it does flag 'Write operation' plus a genuinely non-obvious side effect: replacing interviewers preserves existing members' RSVPs while new ones start as needs_action. It omits other write-relevant traits such as auth requirements, whether unspecified fields are left unchanged, and whether time changes re-notify participants.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loads the core action and write nature in the first sentence, then adds only actionable lookup and side-effect notes. No filler, though the two-line dependency hints are slightly terse.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

An output schema exists, so return values need not be explained. For a 6-param unannotated mutation tool, the description covers the key lookup paths and the interviewer RSVP behavior; only partial-update and permission semantics remain implicit.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description reinforces the destructive replacement semantics of interviewer_ids and the ISO 8601 time fields, but adds little beyond what the schema already documents.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb (Update) and resource (scheduled interview) and enumerates the mutable fields (time, interviewers, location). The agent can immediately distinguish it from create_interview/delete_interview/get_interview without opening the schema.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Provides concrete prerequisite workflows: use list_interviews_for_application to obtain interview_id, and list_users to resolve interviewer_ids. It gives clear context for correct invocation but offers no explicit when-not guidance or routing between sibling update tools.

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