autotask_update_company_site_configuration

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It states that fields are updated but does not disclose permissions needed, whether updates are additive or replace the entire object, or what the return value is. Some transparency is present, but gaps remain.

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?

Three sentences efficiently convey purpose, prerequisites, and parameter usage. No unnecessary words, and critical information is front-loaded.

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 no annotations or output schema, the description adequately covers the tool's purpose, parameter nuances, and prerequisite step. It could mention return value or error handling, but overall is fairly complete for a moderate-complexity update tool.

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%, baseline 3. Description adds value by explaining that the updates field is tenant-specific and that the ID is the site configuration record ID, not company ID—details not fully captured in schema descriptions.

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 it updates fields on a company site configuration record. It specifies the resource and verb, and distinguishes from sibling tools by emphasizing tenant-defined fields and the need to call a getter first.

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?

Explicitly advises callers to first call autotask_get_company_site_configuration to discover field names and values. Also clarifies to pass the site configuration record ID, not the company ID, providing clear when-to-use and what-not-to-do guidance.

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