update_integration_setup

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavioral traits. It states the tool 'updates' and 'sets,' implying a write operation, but does not clarify whether it overwrites existing values, requires any pre-existing setup, or triggers side effects. The description is honest but minimally informative 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?

The description consists of two concise sentences, no redundant words, and directly states the tool's action and parameter purpose. It is efficiently front-loaded and every sentence provides necessary 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?

Given the simple operation (single required parameter, no output schema), the description is mostly complete. It explains that the tool sets a webhook URL for notifications. However, it could improve by noting whether it updates an existing configuration or requires one, and if there are any prerequisites. Sibling tools (e.g., get_integration_setup) imply existence of a setup, but the description itself is slightly thin.

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?

There is one parameter, return_url, with a schema description: 'URL that will receive webhook notifications when a search completes.' The tool description merely echoes this ('Set the webhook URL that receives notifications when a search completes'), adding no new semantic value. Schema coverage is 100%, so 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?

The description clearly states 'Update integration configuration. Set the webhook URL that receives notifications when a search completes,' which precisely identifies the tool's purpose (update) and resource (integration setup/webhook URL). It distinguishes from sibling tools like get_integration_setup that only retrieve.

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 implicitly indicates when to use this tool (when you need to set or update the webhook URL for search completion notifications). It does not explicitly state when not to use it or mention alternatives, but the purpose is clear enough for an AI agent to decide.

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