probely_bulk_update_findings

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

The description notes that the tool will automatically ask for user confirmation, which is a behavioral trait. However, with no annotations, additional important behaviors (e.g., permissions, reversibility, side effects) are not disclosed.

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 concise with two sentences: first states purpose, second adds a behavioral note. No unnecessary 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?

Given the presence of an output schema and sibling tools, the description lacks details on return values, prerequisites, and limits. The confirmation note adds some context but overall is minimally 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 add meaning. It only provides examples for the 'state' parameter, leaving 'targetId' and 'findingIds' unexplained. Partial compensation.

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 tool's purpose: bulk updating finding states, with examples of valid states (fixed, false_positive, accepted_risk). It distinguishes from the sibling 'probely_update_finding' by indicating bulk operation.

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 usage guidance is provided. The description does not indicate when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., probely_update_finding for single updates), nor does it mention prerequisites or exclusions.

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