Update Schedule Rotation

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

Annotations already declare this is a non-read-only, idempotent, non-destructive, open-world update. The description adds only that the target is identified by id and does not explain partial-vs-full update semantics, permissions, or effects on nested members and time-zone settings, so it is minimally adequate given annotation coverage.

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 single sentence is front-loaded and free of filler. It is arguably too terse for a complex update, but it is structurally clean and does not waste words.

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 schema is deeply detailed, an output schema exists, and annotations cover safety, so much of the context is supplied elsewhere. However, for a complex nested update the description still leaves important gaps around update semantics and usage routing.

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?

The description mentions only id, which is already documented thoroughly in the schema. It says nothing about the data payload, including schedule_rotationable_type or nested member/time-zone constraints, so it does not compensate for the top-level data parameter being undocumented at 50% schema coverage.

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?

States a specific verb and resource: update a schedule rotation, targeted by id. It is distinguishable from get/list/create siblings, though it does not explicitly contrast with update_schedule or describe the update scope.

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 gives no when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance. An agent must infer from the name and annotations that this edits an existing rotation rather than creating, listing, or reading one, and no alternatives or prerequisites are named.

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