update_doc_page

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It discloses that the tool updates fields, how content is applied (replace/append/prepend), and that it returns the updated page. No side effects or permissions are mentioned, but for a straightforward update tool, it is adequate.

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 two sentences, front-loaded with the core action. Every sentence adds value with no fluff. It is concise and well-structured.

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 tool with 8 parameters, 2 required, no output schema, and no annotations, the description covers the main behavior and the special edit mode. It mentions the return value. It could elaborate on response structure, but it is reasonably complete.

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 baseline is 3. The description adds value by explaining the interaction between content and content_edit_mode, and that only provided fields change. This goes beyond the schema's individual parameter descriptions.

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 action: 'Update a Doc page's title, subtitle or content.' It specifies the context (ClickUp Docs v3) and the key feature (content_edit_mode). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like create_doc_page and get_doc_page.

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?

The description mentions that only provided fields change, which guides usage. It also explains content_edit_mode options. However, it does not explicitly state when to use this tool vs other update tools, but among siblings, it is the only doc page updater.

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