replaceParentalControlCategories

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

Without annotations, the description bears full burden. It only says 'replaces entire list' but omits behavioral details such as side effects (all previous categories are lost), required permissions, or whether the operation is atomic. For a mutation tool, more disclosure is needed.

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 very concise at one sentence, but it is too brief for a mutation tool with no annotations. It is front-loaded but under-specified, sacrificing necessary detail for brevity.

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 no output schema, the description should mention expected return values (e.g., success status). It also fails to provide context about prerequisites (e.g., profile existence) or behavior differences from siblings like 'replaceParentalControlServices'. The tool is incomplete for effective selection.

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 tool description adds no meaning beyond the input schema's parameter descriptions. Schema coverage is 50%, and the description does not clarify the structure of the 'body' array or how it relates to existing categories. The description could explain that the body array defines the new set of blocked categories.

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 replaces the entire list of blocked categories, using a specific verb and resource. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like 'addToParentalControlCategories' or 'updateParentalControlCategoryEntry', which have related purposes.

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. For example, it could note that this tool overwrites all categories, while 'addToParentalControlCategories' adds individually. The agent must infer usage from the name alone.

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