segment_revert_to_history

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

Description indicates write operation and idempotence, matching annotations (readOnlyHint=false, idempotentHint=true). Constraint on non-numeric segment IDs is added. Could elaborate on consequences of revert but overall consistent.

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?

Reasonably concise, though includes an emoji and URL path that are not essential. Information is front-loaded.

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?

Covers key aspects: write operation, idempotence, constraint on segment IDs. No output schema, so missing return value description, but not critical for a revert tool.

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 100% with basic descriptions. Description adds little beyond schema (e.g., timestamp as 'point in time'). Adequate but not enhanced.

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 'Revert' and resource 'Segment', including that it reverts to a historic definition using a timestamp. Constraint on segment ID type is noted. However, it does not explicitly distinguish from siblings like update_segment or get_segment_historic.

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 explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance. Idempotent hint and segment ID constraint are given but no comparison to alternatives.

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