ncloud_datastream_update_connector

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

Annotations already indicate idempotent (idempotentHint: true) and non-destructive (destructiveHint: false) behavior, and the description's 'Update' is consistent. However, the description does not add extra behavioral details beyond annotations, such as whether updates are partial or full replacements, or any 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?

The description is a single, concise sentence that directly states the tool's function. It is not verbose and every word serves a purpose, though it could be slightly more informative without sacrificing conciseness.

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?

Given the tool has 12 parameters, 7 required, and no output schema, the description is too minimal. It does not explain the update operation's semantics, such as which parameters are updatable, how conflicts are handled, or the expected outcome. Richer context would improve agent decision-making.

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 provides full descriptions for all 12 parameters (100% coverage), so the schema already explains each parameter's meaning. The description does not add additional context or group parameters, but it is not required given the schema completeness.

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 the action ('Update') and the resource ('Data Stream connector settings'), which distinguishes it from sibling tools like create, get, or delete. It is specific enough to convey the core purpose, though it could mention which settings are updatable.

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?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternative tools (e.g., create or delete connector). Prerequisites, such as requiring an existing connector, are not mentioned. The description offers no contextual cues for appropriate usage.

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