update_domain

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

The description only implies mutation via 'update' but lacks details on whether it performs partial or full replacement, permissions required, idempotency, or side effects. No annotations are present to compensate.

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 a single sentence, which is concise but overly brief given the complexity of the nested object parameter. It front-loads the verb but lacks necessary detail.

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?

The description is severely incomplete: no explanation of how domain_data is applied, no return values (no output schema), no error conditions, and no behavioral context. It fails to equip the agent for correct invocation.

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?

The description adds no meaning beyond what the input schema provides. It does not explain the purpose of domain_id or domain_data, nor what fields the domain_data object should contain. With 0% schema coverage, this is a critical gap.

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 verb 'update' and resource 'domain', indicating it modifies an existing domain. It distinguishes from create_domain and delete_domain siblings, though it is similarly terse to other update tools.

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 usage guidance is provided. There is no indication of when to use this tool versus alternatives, prerequisites (e.g., domain existence), or conditions for update.

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