clm_site_equipment_command_update_equipment_booking_from_mobile

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

The description adds valuable behavioral context beyond the annotations: it re-validates and re-creates the calendar slot reservation, queues a background command, updates the timeline, and sends notifications. The annotations already cover idempotency and non-destructiveness, so the description appropriately focuses on additional side effects.

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?

A single dense sentence packs in the primary action, the re-validation/re-creation behavior, the background queue, and the notification side effect. There is no filler or repetition beyond a minor echo of 'from the mobile app' from the tool name, but overall it is tightly written.

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 description is strong on overall behavior and side effects, but weak on parameter semantics and does not guide the agent toward this tool versus the many similar site-equipment sibling tools. The output schema presumably covers return values, so that gap is acceptable, but the missing parameter explanations and usage routing leave it only adequately complete.

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 0%, so the description must compensate, but it only hints at broad categories like 'booking/transport/other info' and 'calendar slot reservation'. It does not explain the purpose or format of the many parameters inside the params object, such as PricePerCountNoOfUnit, TransportUnitQuantity, or OnSiteResponsiblePerson.

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 a specific verb ('Updates') with a specific resource ('an existing site equipment booking') and a clear scope ('booking/transport/other info'). It also distinguishes itself from creation tools by emphasizing 'existing', making its purpose unambiguous.

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 provides clear context: use this when updating an existing site equipment booking from the mobile app. It does not explicitly name alternatives or state when-not-to-use, but the 'existing' qualifier and 'from the mobile app' context imply the right scenario.

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