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

No annotations are present, so the description carries full responsibility. It discloses the ownership requirement but omits potential errors (e.g., non-owner attempt), side effects, or return value behavior. For a mutation tool, this is minimal disclosure.

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 concise sentence, front-loaded with the action and resource, and includes the essential permission constraint. Every word contributes value with no fluff.

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 tool is simple and the description covers the core purpose and permission requirement. However, it lacks details on error conditions (e.g., non-owner) or the effect of partial updates, though 'und/oder' implies flexibility. Given no annotations, a bit more context would have been beneficial.

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 has 0% property descriptions, so the description's mention of 'Name und/oder Icon' adds clear meaning: both fields are optional and can be updated individually. This directly compensates for the schema gap. It does not detail board_id, but that is self-explanatory as the target identifier.

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 action ("Aendert" = changes), the resource (Board), and the specific fields that can be updated (Name und/oder Icon). It also includes a permission constraint (nur Eigentuemer), which distinguishes it from siblings like update_card or rename_column.

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 by naming the resource and fields, and mentions the owner-only restriction. However, it does not explicitly state when to prefer this tool over alternatives or provide exclusions. The owner constraint is a prerequisite but not a full usage guideline.

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