  2. First observedv2.0.0

TDQS

C2.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true, idempotentHint=false and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is known. The description's "changes community state" is consistent with that and it usefully surfaces the confirm=true requirement, but it never explains what is destroyed, whether the change is reversible, or what the openWorld remote mutation affects.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two short sentences, front-loaded, but the opening sentence duplicates the title verbatim and earns nothing. The remaining sentence is efficient; the text is brief but under-informative rather than over-long.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

This is a destructive, non-idempotent, open-world mutation with six parameters, deeply nested community/community_setting payloads, no required fields, and no output schema. A two-sentence description that names no updatable fields and no side effects is far too thin for that complexity.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Six parameters at 67% schema description coverage; the schema already documents account, confirm, payload and payload_file. The description adds nothing beyond repeating the confirm requirement, and the large community/community_setting nested objects (the actual substance of the call) get no explanation of which fields are updatable or how partial updates behave.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose3/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

"Update Community" names a verb and resource, and "Changes community state" confirms it is a mutation, but it never says what state (name, prefs, branding, digest settings, etc.) nor distinguishes it from close siblings like update_community_segment, update_space, update_connect_settings or update_tax_settings. The first sentence is essentially a restatement of the title.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The only guidance is "requires confirm=true for the user-requested action," which is a gating condition rather than when-to-use guidance. There is no mention of prerequisites (admin scope, account selection), no indication of when to prefer get_community or a sibling update tool, and no when-not-to-use statement.

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