sophos_create_partner_admin_role_assignment

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

The description only states it is an additive assignment. It does not disclose required permissions, whether the operation is immediate, or what happens to existing assignments. With no annotations, the agent lacks behavioral context beyond the basic action.

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?

A single sentence with a clarifying parenthetical. Extremely concise with no unnecessary words or information. The structure front-loads the core action.

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 simplicity of the tool (2 required params, no output schema, no annotations), the description provides the essential purpose. However, it lacks context on prerequisites, response behavior, or related operations, making it merely adequate for a minimal 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?

The input schema fully describes both parameters (admin_id and role_id) with UUID format and descriptions. Since schema coverage is 100%, the description adds no additional semantic value beyond what is in the schema.

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 action ('Assign a role to a partner admin') and specifies it is additive ('add a role to an admin's existing role set'). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like sophos_create_admin_role_assignment, which likely handles non-partner admins.

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 is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as sophos_create_admin_role_assignment or sophos_create_role_assignment. The agent must infer from the tool name alone.

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