update_deviances_by_ad_object

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. While it indicates a mutation (update), it does not disclose other behavioral traits such as authorization requirements, idempotency, or error conditions.

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?

Two sentences: first states the core action, second adds a critical usage note. No redundant or extraneous information.

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?

Completeness is moderate: explains purpose and the key profileId nuance, but does not elaborate on the meaning or interplay of the date filters and reasonIds parameters. No output schema exists, and the description does not hint at return values.

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 coverage is 100% with descriptions for all parameters. The description adds context for profileId (selects a lens, not a container) beyond the schema, but provides no additional meaning for other parameters like dateStart, dateEnd, or reasonIds.

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), resource (deviances), and scope (specific AD object and checker). This distinguishes it from siblings like update_deviance (singular) and update_deviances_by_checker.

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?

Provides explicit guidance on profileId: it selects a lens, not a container. Instructs the agent to call get_preferred_profile or get_preferences if the user hasn't specified a profile, explicitly advising not to assume profile 1.

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