Behavior2/5

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

The annotations already declare non-read-only, open-world, non-idempotent, and non-destructive behavior. The description adds only the PATCH endpoint, which is also present in the annotation title, and does not explain async behavior, side effects, authorization needs, or what the update changes.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is short and front-loads the core action. The PATCH path line is redundant with the annotation title and schema path, but there is no unnecessary prose.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For an asynchronous AWS cloud-account mutation, the description does not explain that the operation is async, what response or tracking identifier to expect, or how updates affect the account. The rich schema covers parameters and annotations cover safety, but the async execution model remains undocumented.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The input schema has 100% description coverage, including nested body fields such as regions, tags, and IAM role details. The description adds no parameter-level meaning beyond that, so the baseline of 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states a specific verb and resource: 'Update AWS cloud account.' It distinguishes the AWS-specific update from create/delete/get tools and from generic cloud-account updates, but it does not explain the 'async' aspect or when to choose it over the generic update sibling.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides only the operation and the PATCH endpoint. It gives no guidance on when to use this tool versus iaas_update_cloud_account_async, create, delete, or get tools, and it does not mention prerequisites or exclusions.

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