update_email_notifier

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

Description is minimal and does not disclose behavioral traits like idempotency, validation, or error handling. No annotations provided, so description carries full burden but adds no value.

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?

Extremely concise (one sentence) but at the cost of completeness. Lacks structure and essential context, making it under-specified.

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?

Completely inadequate given the absence of annotations and output schema. Does not mention that it updates an existing resource, what fields can be modified, or preconditions.

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?

Description adds no meaning beyond the input schema. Schema coverage is 100% but lacks textual descriptions for properties, and the body parameter description is misleading ('Validates the post /email-notifiers response').

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?

Description uses specific verb 'Update' and resource 'email-notifier instance', clearly indicating the action. Distinguishes from sibling tools like create, delete, get, list, and test.

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 guidelines provided. Does not specify when to use this tool compared to alternatives, such as create_email_notifier for new instances or test_email_notifier for testing.

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