update_tag

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

No annotations provided; description merely says 'update' implying mutation but does not disclose any behavioral traits such as required permissions, error conditions, or effects on existing data.

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, no wasted words. Could include more detail without being overly long.

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 simple mutation tool with 4 required parameters and no output schema, the description lacks completeness. No info on response, side effects, or authorization.

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 50%. Description mentions 'name and color' but does not clarify the purpose of collectiveId or name beyond field names, nor adds format constraints or examples.

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?

Description clearly states the verb 'update' and specific resource 'tag' and fields 'name and color'. It distinguishes from sibling tools like create_tag, delete_tag, and list_tags.

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 prerequisites. Only implicit that tagId should come from list_tags (noted in schema but not description).

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