zabbix_maintenance_update

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

No annotations exist; description fails to disclose any behavioral traits (e.g., that it modifies an existing maintenance, requires authentication, or side effects). Only restates the method name.

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?

Extremely concise but at the expense of necessary information. The single sentence is easy to read but does not earn its place as it adds no value beyond the name.

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 an update operation with a generic parameter, the description is highly incomplete. Missing details on required inputs, behavior, and output format; output schema exists but does not compensate for input ambiguity.

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?

Input schema has a single opaque 'params' object with 0% coverage; description adds no information about expected fields, structure, or constraints.

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 restates tool name ('maintenance.update method') without adding specifics. It identifies the resource and action but is essentially tautological, lacking detail on what updating a maintenance entails.

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 vs alternatives (e.g., create, delete). No prerequisites, when-not to use, or comparison with sibling tools provided.

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