workiva_edit_range_link

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the burden. It only says 'via PATCH' and lists parameters. It does not disclose what editable fields exist, side effects on destination links, permission requirements, or whether changes are reversible.

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 brief and front-loaded with the action. The arg list is clean, though it partially repeats the schema. It is not excessively wordy.

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 no annotations and 0% schema coverage, this is insufficient. It lacks explanation of range link concepts, the effect of the edit, expected response, and any constraints. The existence of an output schema may cover return values, but the operational 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 description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It assigns basic types (UUID, ID) but the crucial 'data' parameter is explained only as 'Edit data', adding no meaningful semantics. The schema shows it as an array of objects, but the description does not specify what fields those objects can contain.

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 states 'Edit a range link via PATCH', which is a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like list_range_links or get_range_link, though it does not explicitly compare to related link operations.

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 is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. There is no mention of prerequisites, typical use cases, or distinctions from create_destination_link or publish_links.

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