update_realm_events_config

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

No annotations are present, and the description does not disclose behavioral traits such as whether the update is partial or full, if permissions are required, or any side effects (e.g., changing event listeners may affect running services). The description only lists parameters with minimal explanations.

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 concise, using a standard docstring format with Args and Returns sections. It front-loads the main action and lists parameters succinctly, though it could be more compact by omitting trivial parameter descriptions that mirror the schema.

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 6 optional parameters and no required fields, the description lacks detail on default behaviors, the impact of partial updates, and the format of the status message. The tool's complexity is not matched by the description, leading to potential ambiguity for an AI agent.

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 0%, but the description adds one-line meanings for each parameter (e.g., 'events_enabled: Enable events'). While this provides context beyond the property names, the descriptions are terse and do not clarify types, constraints, or dependencies between parameters.

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 'Update realm events configuration', which is a specific verb+resource action. The existence of a sibling 'get_realm_events_config' distinguishes this as the write counterpart, making the purpose unambiguous.

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., get_realm_events_config for reading, or other update tools). There are no prerequisites, context, or exclusions mentioned.

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