update_folder

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

No annotations provided, and the description only lists updatable fields without disclosing behavioral traits like required permissions, side effects, response structure, or error conditions. For a mutation tool, this is insufficient.

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?

Description is one short sentence, directly stating the action and scope. Efficient and front-loaded, though could benefit from more structured detail without being verbose.

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 has 4 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is too minimal. It omits return values, constraint details, and context about the updates' effects. Incomplete for a mutation operation.

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 100% with descriptions for all parameters. The description summarizes the updatable fields but adds no additional meaning beyond the schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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?

Clear action verb 'update' with resource 'folder', and explicitly states which attributes can be changed (name, description, parent). Distinguishes from sibling tools like create_folder, delete_folder, list_folders.

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?

Implied usage for updating folders, but no explicit guidance on when to use vs alternatives, no exclusion criteria, and no mention of prerequisites or side effects.

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