update_space

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

No annotations exist, so description must compensate. It only says 'Update' which implies mutation but does not disclose permissions, error behavior, idempotency, or side effects. For a mutation tool, this is insufficient.

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?

One short sentence, no fluff. However, it could be slightly longer to include key behavioral details without becoming verbose.

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 6 parameters, nested objects, and no output schema, the description is far too minimal. It does not explain partial update semantics, the features object structure, or expected response. Incomplete for an agent to use effectively.

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?

Description adds some semantic grouping (name, privacy, assignee mode) but omits admin_can_manage and does not fully clarify mapping to schema properties. Schema coverage is 33%, so description partially compensates but not completely.

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 clearly states 'Update a Space' with specific fields (name, privacy, assignee mode, features). However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like update_space_tag or update_folder, which could cause confusion.

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. With many sibling tools for updating various resources, explicit usage context would help agents avoid incorrect tool selection.

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