app_store_review_details__update

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

Annotations already indicate the tool is not read-only (modifies data), not destructive, and idempotent. The description adds no further behavioral context (e.g., whether updates are partial or full replacement). It does not contradict annotations.

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: one sentence plus HTTP method and path. It is front-loaded with the action. However, it could be slightly more informative without increasing length, e.g., by listing key updatable fields.

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 the rich schema (showing all nullable attributes) and annotations (idempotent, non-destructive), the description is adequate but not complete. It does not explain the response format (no output schema) or the effect of partial updates. For a mutation tool, this leaves some ambiguity.

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?

With 100% schema description coverage, the schema already describes each parameter. The description adds value by noting the body is a 'JSON:API request body (Apple schema: AppStoreReviewDetailUpdateRequest)', which clarifies the format. But no extra meaning beyond that.

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 verb 'Update' and the resource 'App Store review detail', making it distinct from siblings like 'create' and 'get'. However, it lacks a brief explanation of what an App Store review detail is, which could be inferred from context.

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 (e.g., creating a new detail or retrieving one). There is no mention of prerequisites (e.g., needing an existing detail ID) or 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.
