update_realm_role

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

No annotations provided, and the description only lists parameters without disclosing side effects, required permissions, or consequences of updates. The return is vaguely described as 'Status message'.

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?

Concise, with clear parameter list. The 'Args:' block is somewhat verbose but not excessive.

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?

An output schema exists, so return details are less critical. However, the description doesn't clarify whether it's a partial update or full replacement, which would aid understanding.

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?

Parameter descriptions like 'Current role name' and 'New description' add basic meaning beyond schema titles, but no format or behavioral constraints are given. Schema coverage is 0%, so description partially compensates.

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 a realm role.' and lists the parameters, which distinguishes it from create_realm_role and delete_realm_role among the siblings.

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 vs. creating, deleting, or other update tools. No prerequisites or conditions mentioned.

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