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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. While 'Update' implies a mutation, the description doesn't mention permission requirements, whether changes are reversible, what happens to unspecified fields, error conditions, or response format. For a mutation tool with 7 parameters and no annotation coverage, this is a significant gap.

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 a single, efficient sentence with zero wasted words. It's front-loaded with the core action ('Update an existing case') and includes the key constraint ('by ID'), making it easy to parse quickly.

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 complexity (mutation tool with 7 parameters), lack of annotations, and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It doesn't address behavioral aspects like side effects, authentication needs, or what the tool returns, leaving significant gaps for an AI agent to understand how to use it effectively.

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 description coverage is 100%, with clear descriptions for all 7 parameters (e.g., 'ID of the case to update', 'New name for the case'). The description adds no additional parameter information beyond what the schema provides, so it meets the baseline for high schema coverage without adding value.

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 resource ('an existing case by ID'), making the purpose unambiguous. However, it doesn't distinguish this tool from similar sibling tools like 'change_case_owner', 'update_note_in_case', or 'update_organization_by_id', which also update aspects of cases or related entities.

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. With sibling tools like 'change_case_owner' (specifically for ownership), 'update_note_in_case' (for notes), and 'close_case_by_id' (for status), there's no indication of when this general update tool is preferred over more specialized ones or what prerequisites might exist.

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