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

It discloses authentication requirements, proxy nature, and parameter alias conventions, but incorrectly labels the body field as 'optional' when the schema marks it as required. This contradiction is misleading and undermines trust in the description, especially since no annotations are present to clarify the safety profile.

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 is compact and front-loads the action, but the phrase 'Updates a project view' appears twice, introducing unnecessary repetition while remaining generally efficient.

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 covers authentication, parameter mapping, and alias support, which is reasonable for a raw REST proxy. However, it omits any mention of return values or error behavior, and the 'optional' body misstatement is a notable gap given the schema requires it.

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 schema already covers all parameters with descriptions, so the baseline is 3. The description adds useful guidance on parameter placement and aliases, but the 'optional body' error reduces its reliability and the body structure remains vague.

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 'Updates a project view' and specifies the exact REST endpoint 'POST /projects/{project}/views/{id}', making the tool's purpose unambiguous and distinguishing it from siblings that target other resources or operations.

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 the full endpoint and notes that path/query parameters are top-level fields, giving solid context for invocation. However, it does not explicitly state when to use this over alternative tools or mention any exclusions.

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