Update Retrospective Process Group

update_retrospective_process_group
Idempotent

Update a retrospective process group by ID to change its position or sub-status. Use it to modify existing group attributes when ordering or status needs adjustment.

Instructions

Update a specific Retrospective Process Group by id

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
idYesRequired. ID of the retrospective process group (fills `{id}` in /v1/retrospective_process_groups/{id}). Pass it as `id` -- this tool has no `retrospective_process_group_id` argument.
dataYes

Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds nothing beyond that: it does not say whether this is a partial or full replacement of the group, what happens to omitted attributes, or whether required permissions/roles apply.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

A single short sentence with the resource and the identifying key front-loaded; no filler or redundancy. It is efficient, though the brevity is also the source of the gaps captured in the other dimensions.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

An output schema exists, so return values need not be explained. But for a mutation tool with a nested attributes payload and only 50% schema coverage, the description omits which fields are updatable, the update semantics, and the relationship to the sibling retrospective-process tools.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is only 50% and the description compensates for none of it. The nested `attributes` object (position, sub_status_id) has no schema descriptions and is never mentioned in the description, so an agent gets no information about what `position` means or what values `sub_status_id` accepts.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states a specific verb (Update) and a specific resource (Retrospective Process Group) scoped by id, which is enough to distinguish it from the similarly named update_retrospective_process and update_retrospective_step by resource name. It does not explicitly contrast itself with those siblings, but the resource naming is unambiguous.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus update_retrospective_process, get_retrospective_process_group, or any other sibling. No prerequisites, no mention of when not to use it, and no mention of the workflow (e.g., fetch-then-update) an agent would need.

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