ghl_calendar_notification_update

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

Annotations provide idempotentHint and not destructive, but description adds OAuth scopes. However, it does not disclose whether updates are partial or full, or what happens to omitted fields. Behavioral context beyond annotations is minimal.

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 concise (four sentences) and front-loaded with purpose. The endpoint and OAuth scopes are useful but could be omitted or integrated better. No wasted words.

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 complexity of the body schema and absence of output schema, the description lacks details on update behavior (partial vs full) and response. Annotations cover idempotency, but overall completeness is adequate but not thorough.

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?

Two required params (calendarId, notificationId) have no description in schema or description. Body param has detailed schema but description does not elaborate on its usage beyond 'by id'. Schema coverage is 33%, and description adds no parameter meaning.

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 a notification by ID, differentiating it from create, delete, get, and list siblings. The verb 'Update' and resource 'notification' are specific.

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 implies usage for updating existing notifications but does not explicitly state when to use this or exclude alternatives. No guidance on prerequisites or when not to use.

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