update_page

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

Annotations already signal readOnly=false and destructive=true, but the description adds important behavior: only passed fields are sent (PATCH semantics) and publish=True publishes a draft as part of the edit. This is valuable context that is not in the annotations and does not contradict them.

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 two tight sentences with no filler. The core operation is front-loaded, and the PATCH semantics and publish behavior are stated precisely.

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 annotations, output schema, and clear sibling context, the description provides the key behavioral information an agent needs: PATCH semantics and publish behavior. It does not cover edge cases such as what happens when publishing a non-draft page, but for a simple update tool this is reasonably 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 should compensate for undocumented parameters. It only explains publish; title, content, content_format, blog_id, and page_id are left to inference from their names or the schema. This is insufficient for a 6-parameter tool.

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 resource ('a static page') and the operation ('Update'), and adds useful PATCH semantics. It distinguishes from update_post via 'static page', though it does not explicitly contrast with create_page or delete_page.

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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as create_page for new pages or update_post for posts. It also does not mention prerequisites or conditions that would make this tool the right choice.

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