Update a release landing-page config

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

The description discloses that this is a destructive operation ('replaces the landing configuration') and notes the v2 contract for actions. With no annotations beyond title, this provides adequate behavioral context, though permissions or side effects are omitted.

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 two sentences: first stating purpose, second listing parameters. No wasted words, front-loaded with the key action. Efficient and well-structured.

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 complexity (8 parameters, no output schema), the description covers the main behavior and lists key parameters. It lacks details on return values or confirmation, but for a mutation tool, it is largely sufficient.

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 only 25%, but the description enumerates many parameters (actions, links_page_enabled, config_mode, page_style, custom_cta_text, custom_description, pre_order_links) and explains that actions use the v2 contract. This adds significant meaning beyond the input schema.

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 'Set' and the resource 'smart-link landing-page configuration for a release,' distinguishing it from sibling tools like get_landing_config. The phrase 'This replaces the landing configuration' reinforces the purpose.

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 explains what the tool does but does not provide explicit guidance on when to use it versus alternatives (e.g., get_landing_config for reading). Context from sibling tools implies usage, but no direct exclusions or prerequisites are mentioned.

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