quire.updateComment

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

The idempotentHint annotation (true) already informs the agent that repeating the same update is safe. The description adds no further behavioral traits beyond stating the mutation (update). No contradictions with annotations.

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, concise sentence that front-loads the verb and resource. Every word is informative, with no redundancy or filler.

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?

Given the tool's simplicity and the presence of annotations and full schema coverage, the description is nearly complete. It covers the essential functionality. However, there is no mention of return values or error conditions, though the tool likely returns the updated comment object.

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%, so the schema fully documents parameters. The description only reiterates that 'description' and 'pinned' can be updated, adding no additional meaning or context beyond what the schema provides.

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 action ('Update') and the resource ('existing comment'), and specifies the modifiable attributes ('text or pin status'). It distinguishes the tool from sibling tools like add/delete/comment tools.

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?

The description does not explicitly provide guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. While the purpose is clear, there is no mention of prerequisites, constraints, or when not to use it. For example, it could note that to add a new comment, use 'addChatComment' or 'addTaskComment'.

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