update_account

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

No annotations exist, and description provides zero behavioral details: no mention of auth requirements, side effects, idempotency, or what 'update' entails. The word 'update' implies mutation but lacks critical context.

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 (two words) but grossly under-specified. Conciseness comes at the expense of any useful information.

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?

Tool has no parameters, no annotations, no output schema—yet description does nothing to compensate. Agent has no basis to decide usage or interpret results.

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 0 parameters, so baseline is 4, but description adds no meaning beyond the name. It fails to clarify what aspects of account can be updated (e.g., name, settings). A 0-param tool still needs to explain its effect.

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 is a tautology—'Update account' merely restates the name 'update_account' without adding specificity. No verb-resource distinction from sibling tools like update_agent_in_account or update_conversation.

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 (e.g., get_account_details for reads, or other update tools). No context or prerequisites provided.

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