sophos_create_partner_admin_role_assignment

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

The tool is not read-only (readOnlyHint=false) and not destructive (destructiveHint=false). The description clarifies it is an additive operation ('add a role to existing role set'), which aligns with the annotations. However, no additional behavioral traits like authorization, idempotency, or response details are provided beyond what the annotations already disclose.

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 a single sentence that front-loads the action and includes a clarifying parenthetical. No extraneous information.

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?

The tool is simple with two required parameters and no output schema. The description covers the core action but could explicitly mention if the operation is idempotent or if duplicate assignments are handled. Still, it is complete enough for a straightforward role assignment.

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 clear parameter descriptions (role_id and admin_id are UUIDs). The description does not add semantic value beyond the schema; it merely restates the action. 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?

The description clearly states the verb 'Assign' and the resource 'role to a partner admin', with a parenthetical clarification that it adds to existing role set. It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'sophos_create_admin_role_assignment' (tenant admin) and 'sophos_create_partner_role' (role definition).

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 does not provide any guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites, exclusions, or context for choosing it over similar tools like 'sophos_create_admin_role_assignment'.

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