edit-time-slot

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

Without annotations, the description must carry the burden of behavioral disclosure. "Edit" implies a write operation, but there is no mention of whether the operation is reversible, requires authorization, or if editing a non-existent slot returns an error. The description is too terse.

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 minimal to the point of being unhelpful. While short, it lacks necessary structure like parameter highlights or usage context. It does not earn its place as a useful addition.

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 fails to provide enough context for an agent to understand the tool's operation. It does not specify return values, error cases, or how it interacts with related timeslot tools.

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 input schema already describes three parameters with brief comments (UUID, ISO 8601). The tool description adds no additional parameter semantics, so it does not exceed the schema's own documentation.

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 merely restates the tool name without any verb-resource specificity or differentiation from siblings like edit-event or edit-task. It fails to clarify which aspects of a time slot can be edited.

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 no context for when to use this tool. It does not mention prerequisites, when not to use it, or how it differs from similar tools like edit-event or add-time-slot.

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