vikunja_task_bulk

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

With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral details. It only names the three operations (create, update, delete) but does not mention side effects, idempotency, required permissions, or error behavior. Missing critical info for a bulk operation tool.

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?

Single sentence, concise but severely under-specified. Every word is used, but the description is too short to convey necessary information for correct invocation.

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 6 parameters, no schema descriptions, no output schema, the description is grossly incomplete. It fails to explain operation-specific requirements (e.g., 'bulk-delete' needs 'taskIds', 'bulk-update' needs 'field' and 'value' or 'tasks').

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 coverage is 0%; description adds no parameter details. It does not explain how to use 'operation', 'taskIds', 'field', 'value', 'projectId', or 'tasks'. The agent must infer from the enum and object structure alone.

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 tool performs bulk task operations (create, update, delete), distinguishing it from single-task siblings. However, the verb 'manage' is somewhat vague; a more active verb like 'perform' would be better.

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 versus alternatives like vikunja_task_crud for single tasks or vikunja_batch_import for import. The description implies usage for bulk operations but does not explicitly state when not to use it.

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