taiga_userstories_bulk_update_sprint_order

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

With no annotations, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It only states the action without explaining side effects (e.g., how existing sprint order is modified), permissions, or response behavior. This is a significant gap for a bulk mutation tool.

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?

A single sentence with no wasted words, front-loading the core action. It is appropriately terse for the tool's simplicity, though slightly under-specified in content.

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 simple (2 params, no output schema), but the description is minimal. It omits critical context such as what sprint order means, whether the pairs must be in order, or how partial failures are handled. Given no annotations, this is inadequate.

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 coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds no meaning beyond the schema; 'bulk_stories' already describes 'Array of [us_id, order] pairs' in the schema, and the description does not enrich this with examples or constraints.

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 a specific action: bulk updating sprint order of user stories. It uses a specific verb ('bulk update') and resource ('sprint order of user stories'), and the singular 'sprint order' hints at distinguishing from backlog/kanban order siblings, though it doesn't explicitly differentiate.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like bulk_update_backlog_order or bulk_update_kanban_order. The description provides no context, prerequisites, or exclusions, so the agent receives no decision support.

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