sophos_update_tenant_admin

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

Description (update) aligns with annotations (readOnlyHint=false). No additional behavioral context beyond mutation; does not disclose side effects, idempotency, or permission requirements. Annotations already indicate write operation.

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?

Single sentence, 9 words, front-loaded with verb 'Update'. Every word earns its place; no waste.

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?

No output schema, but description does not mention return value, error handling, or what happens on partial updates. Lacks completeness for a 5-param write operation.

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 descriptions for all 5 params. Description adds only a summary ('name or email'), not extending meaning beyond schema. Baseline 3 applies.

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 'Update' and resource 'tenant administrator's details', specifying updatable fields ('name or email'), distinguishing from create/list siblings.

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 (e.g., sophos_create_tenant_admin, sophos_get_tenant_admin). Does not mention prerequisites or when to prefer this over other admin tools.

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