update_openresty_conf

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the full behavioral burden. It says only 'Update OpenResty configuration (XPack)' and discloses nothing about permissions, reversibility, partial vs full updates, side effects, or what the XPack qualifier implies. Inadequate for a mutation 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?

The description is a single short phrase, but it is under-specified rather than concise. It omits necessary context for a tool with a nested object parameter, so the brevity is a liability.

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 a nested object parameter, no annotations, no output schema, and 0% parameter documentation, the description is almost empty. It does not explain what updating entails, what valid params look like, or how it differs from siblings, making it contextually incomplete.

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%. The single required parameter 'params' is a bare object with no properties or description. The description adds no information about what the params object must contain or its format, leaving the agent unable to construct a valid call.

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?

States a specific verb ('Update') and resource ('OpenResty configuration'), so the agent knows it modifies OpenResty config. However, it does not distinguish from sibling update_openresty_by_file or update_openresty_module, leaving ambiguity about which update path to use.

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 when-to-use guidance or alternatives are provided. The description does not mention when to use this tool versus update_openresty_by_file or update_openresty_conf, nor any prerequisites. Plainly absent.

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