aap_update_execution_environment

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

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false. The description adds the HTTP method 'PATCH', which conveys partial-update semantics and non-destructive behavior consistent with annotations. It does not add details about required permissions, idempotency, or what happens to omitted fields, but the existing annotations lower the burden.

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 extremely concise, with one purposeful sentence and an Args block. It avoids fluff and is well-structured. However, it is so brief that it sacrifices utility in parameter documentation, though that is reflected in other dimensions.

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?

With 0% schema coverage, minimal annotations, and no explanation of partial-update semantics or required identifiers, the description is incomplete for safely invoking the tool. An output schema exists, which helps with return values, but the description fails to provide essential context about how to properly update an execution environment.

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 carries the full burden of explaining parameters. It only says 'params (UpdateEEInput): Fields to update,' which adds no meaning beyond the schema's field names and types. It does not explain the purpose of 'pull' or clarify that 'ee_id' identifies the target resource. This is a significant gap.

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 an existing AAP execution environment') with a specific verb and resource. It also mentions 'PATCH', which adds precision. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like aap_create_execution_environment and aap_delete_execution_environment.

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 implies usage by saying 'Update an existing...' but does not explicitly state when to use it versus alternatives (e.g., create or delete). It does not provide exclusions or prerequisites beyond 'existing'. The context is clear but not explicit.

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