Regenerate Webhook Secret

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of disclosing behavioral consequences. 'Regenerate' implies the old secret is replaced, but the description fails to state that the previous secret becomes invalid immediately or that consumers using the old secret will need to be updated. It does not mention any irreversible side effects or whether this action can be undone.

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, clear sentence that directly states the action. Every word is necessary, with no fluff or redundant phrasing. It is optimally concise.

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?

The tool is a simple one-parameter mutation, but since there is no output schema, the description should explain what the response contains (e.g., the new secret) and any immediate effects. It does neither, leaving the agent to guess about the return value and the impact of regenerating the secret. This information is critical for correct invocation and handling.

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% for the single parameter webhook_id, so the baseline is 3. The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, as it simply refers to 'a webhook' without clarifying how to identify it or any constraints. It neither enhances nor diminishes the parameter understanding.

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 verb 'Regenerate' and the specific resource 'signing secret for a webhook.' This precisely distinguishes it from sibling tools like mail_webhooks_update or mail_webhooks_create, which perform different actions on webhooks.

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. It does not mention that this is for rotating a compromised secret or that mail_webhooks_update should be used for other webhook modifications. The description simply states what the tool does without usage context.

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