ghl_calendar_group_update_status

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

Annotations indicate readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false, and idempotentHint=true. The description adds behavioral context by clarifying that the operation can both enable and disable despite the endpoint name, and specifies OAuth scopes. No contradictions with annotations.

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 relatively concise, front-loading the key behavioral clarification. However, it includes endpoint metadata (PUT, version, source) that might be extraneous for an AI agent, but this does not significantly harm usability.

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?

No output schema is provided. The description does not mention what the tool returns (e.g., updated group object or success status). For a simple toggle tool, this is a notable gap that could lead to agent confusion.

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%, with both parameters documented. The description adds value by explaining the semantics of the isActive field (toggle behavior), which goes beyond the schema's brief 'Is Active?' description.

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 that the tool updates the status (enable/disable) of a calendar group, explicitly clarifying that the isActive field toggles both directions. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like ghl_calendar_group_update, which handle other group properties.

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 explains the behavior of the isActive field and provides OAuth scopes, but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like ghl_calendar_group_update. No guidance is given on prerequisites or context.

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