app_store_review_details_update_instance

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

No annotations are supplied, so the description carries the full burden, yet it only notes the HTTP method and that the body follows the JSON:API envelope. It says nothing about partial vs full replacement semantics, permission requirements, or side effects of the mutation.

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?

It is short, but the path is duplicated verbatim inside parentheses ('PATCH /v1/appStoreReviewDetails/{id} (PATCH /v1/appStoreReviewDetails/{id})'), which is pure noise, and the only substantive content is an external-spec pointer.

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, no output schema, and a nested-object body parameter, the description is inadequate. It defers the body shape to an external OpenAPI document the agent cannot read from this definition, leaving the update semantics effectively undocumented.

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 100%, so the schema already documents both 'id' and 'body'. The description's only contribution is a pointer to an external OpenAPI schema reference, which adds no meaning beyond the structured fields, so the baseline 3 applies.

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 is essentially the HTTP endpoint restated: 'PATCH /v1/appStoreReviewDetails/{id}'. It names a verb (PATCH) and a resource, but the resource name mirrors the tool name and the description never explains what an 'app store review detail' is or which fields can be updated, leaving it near-tautological.

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?

There is no when-to-use guidance, no prerequisites, and no mention of alternatives such as app_store_review_details_get_instance or the sibling app_clip/beta review-detail update tools. The agent gets no signal about when this tool is the right choice.

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