update_program_edition

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

Annotations indicate it modifies data (readOnlyHint=false) but is not destructive (destructiveHint=false) and is idempotent (idempotentHint=true). The description adds no additional behavioral details beyond the verb 'Update', so it meets the baseline.

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?

Single sentence, concise and to the point. Could be slightly more informative without verbosity, but it is efficient.

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 tool with 11 parameters and no output schema, the description is too minimal. It does not explain the effect of updates, constraints, or what the response is. More context is needed for completeness.

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 coverage is high (82%), and the input schema provides descriptions for most parameters. The description adds no new information about parameters, so score is at baseline.

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 verb 'Update' and the resource 'program edition', making its purpose unambiguous. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like create_program_edition and delete_program_edition.

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 versus alternatives, or any prerequisites or restrictions. The description lacks context for appropriate usage.

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