Update news article

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of disclosing behavior. It only says 'Update,' which implies mutation, but does not state whether this is a partial update or full replacement, whether it requires special permissions, what side effects occur, or what the response looks like.

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 compact: one sentence states the operation and one sentence provides the critical next step for constructing the operation. There is no filler, repetition of schema content, or unnecessary context.

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 provides just enough for an agent to begin: it identifies the candidate tool and tells it where to find the exact request shape. However, there are no annotations, no output schema, no return-value semantics, and no behavioral caveats, so several aspects of a correct call are left undisclosed.

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 schema already documents id and blog, and the blog object is deliberately opaque. The description meaningfully adds that the agent must call get_operation_schema("UpdateBlog") to resolve the exact request shape; this is an actionable pointer not present in the input schema itself.

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 uses a clear verb+resource pattern: 'Update a store news article.' This clearly marks it as the mutation counterpart to get_blog and create_blog, though it does not add any scope details beyond what the title already suggests.

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 gives no when-to-use guidance or comparisons to siblings such as create_blog or get_blog. The directive to 'Call get_operation_schema("UpdateBlog")' is useful for obtaining the request shape but does not explain when this tool should be chosen over alternatives.

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