jfrog_replace_permission_resource

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It mentions 'replace' but doesn't clarify behavioral aspects like whether this is a destructive operation, what permissions are required, if it's idempotent, or how it differs from update/delete operations. This leaves significant gaps for a 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?

The description is a single, efficient sentence with no wasted words. It's front-loaded with the core action and target, making it easy to parse quickly.

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?

For a mutation tool with no annotations, no output schema, and incomplete parameter documentation, the description is insufficient. It doesn't explain what 'replace' means operationally, what happens to existing data, or what the tool returns, leaving the agent with critical gaps in understanding.

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 67%, with two parameters (name, resourceType) described and one (resource) lacking description. The description adds no additional parameter context beyond the schema, such as explaining the resource structure or resourceType enum values. Baseline 3 is appropriate as the schema provides moderate coverage.

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 states the action ('replace') and target ('specific resource type within a permission target'), which is clear but somewhat vague. It doesn't specify what 'replace' entails operationally or distinguish it from sibling tools like jfrog_update_permission_resource or jfrog_delete_permission_resource, leaving ambiguity about when to use each.

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. With siblings like jfrog_update_permission_resource and jfrog_delete_permission_resource, the description offers no context for choosing between them, such as whether this tool fully overwrites resources or handles specific scenarios.

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