Tool Definition Quality

B3.1/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It states this is an update operation (implying mutation) and mentions partial updates ('Only provided fields will be updated'), but doesn't disclose critical behavioral traits like required permissions, whether changes are reversible, rate limits, error handling, or what the response contains. For a mutation tool with 49 parameters and no annotation coverage, this is a significant gap.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is two sentences, front-loaded with the core purpose, and avoids redundancy. Every sentence adds value: the first defines scope, the second clarifies update behavior. It could be slightly more structured (e.g., bullet points for categories), but it's efficient and well-organized.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool's complexity (mutation operation with 49 parameters, no annotations, no output schema), the description is inadequate. It lacks behavioral context (e.g., permissions, side effects), usage prerequisites, output format, and error handling. The schema covers parameters well, but the description doesn't compensate for missing annotation and output schema coverage.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents all 49 parameters thoroughly. The description adds minimal value beyond the schema by grouping parameters into categories ('business unit information, contact details, addresses, and organizational settings') and noting partial update behavior, but doesn't provide additional syntax, format, or constraint details. Baseline 3 is appropriate when schema does the heavy lifting.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the verb ('Updates') and resource ('properties and configuration of an existing business unit'), and specifies the scope of updates ('business unit information, contact details, addresses, and organizational settings'). However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'update_dataverse_column' or 'update_dataverse_team' beyond the resource name.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies usage through 'Use this to modify...' and provides a partial constraint ('Only provided fields will be updated'), but lacks explicit guidance on when to use this versus alternatives (e.g., vs. 'create_dataverse_businessunit' or 'set_businessunit_parent'), prerequisites, or error conditions.

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