rename_reminder_folder

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

With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral details, but it only states the action. It doesn't explain what happens if the list doesn't exist, whether the operation is reversible, or what the response is. This leaves critical safety and success/failure behavior undocumented.

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, direct sentence with no redundancy, but it omits essential context such as required inputs and behavior. It is concise but arguably too sparse for a meaningful tool description.

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?

The tool description lacks information about how to specify which reminder list to rename and what new name to use, and there are no annotations or output schema to fill the gap. The agent cannot correctly invoke the tool based on this description alone.

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 input schema has zero parameters, so there is no parameter information to elaborate. Under the '0 params = baseline 4' guideline, the description's minimal mention is sufficient for this dimension, though the lack of required inputs is a broader usability issue.

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?

Clearly states the action ('Renames') and the object ('existing Apple Reminders list'), differentiating it from create/delete/get siblings. The term 'folder' in the name versus 'list' in the description introduces a minor ambiguity.

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?

Provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus other reminder tools, no prerequisites (e.g., list existence), and no exclusions. The sibling set includes related tools like create_reminder_list and delete_reminder_folder, but no alternatives are mentioned.

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