sophos_create_role_assignment

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

No annotations are provided, and the description fails to disclose any behavioral traits beyond the basic action. It does not mention permissions, idempotency, side effects, or reversibility, leaving the agent with no additional context for safe invocation.

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, concise sentence that wastes no words. However, it could include additional useful information without becoming verbose, so a 4 is fair.

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?

For a simple creation tool with 2 params, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is minimal. It does not explain what a 'partner role' is, prerequisites, or consequences, making it incomplete for an agent to fully understand the tool's context.

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 description coverage is 100% (both params have detailed descriptions). The description adds no new meaning beyond what the schema already provides. Baseline score of 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 is specific and clearly states what the tool does: 'Assign a partner role to an admin (principal).' This directly identifies the action and resources, distinguishing it from sibling tools like sophos_create_tenant_role_assignment or sophos_create_admin_role_assignment by specifying 'partner role.'

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 on when to use this tool versus alternatives. Given the many sibling role assignment tools (e.g., sophos_create_admin_role_assignment, sophos_create_tenant_role_assignment), the description should indicate when to choose this one, but it does not.

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