update_space

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

Annotations already indicate destructiveHint=false. The description adds the non-destructive update context and owner-only authorization, but does not clarify merge/replace behavior for optional fields or potential side effects.

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 concise (under 100 words), uses a clear list format, and front-loads the purpose. Every sentence serves a purpose, though the parameter descriptions could be more precise.

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 presence of an output schema, the description's return note is sufficient. However, the tool has 5 optional parameters and missing behavioral details (e.g., merge vs. replace) reduce 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?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description provides basic explanations for each parameter ('New name', 'Updated list'), adding meaning beyond the schema. However, it lacks format constraints and does not clarify whether lists are replaced or merged.

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 resource 'context space', and adds 'owner only' authorization. It distinguishes from related tools like create_space and delete_space.

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?

The description mentions 'owner only' as an access condition, but does not provide explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., create_space, delete_space), nor does it state prerequisites or when not to use it.

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