update_sso_config

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

The description indicates a mutation (update) but lacks behavioral details such as permissions needed, side effects, idempotency, or response behavior. With no annotations, the description should provide more context.

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?

Description is concise with three short sentences. However, the Args line is redundant given the schema. Well-structured but could be slightly improved.

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?

Despite having an output schema, the description omits behavioral context like error cases, permission requirements, and impact on existing configurations. Incomplete for a mutation tool.

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?

The description adds minimal meaning to the 'config' parameter beyond its name ('SSO configuration settings'), but lacks structural details or required fields. Since schema coverage is 0%, more elaboration is needed.

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 it updates SSO configuration for the Coroot instance, specifying the resource (SSO config) and verb (update). It distinguishes from sibling tools like get_sso_config.

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 alternatives. No prerequisites, when-not-to-use, or context for choosing among SSO-related tools.

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