Regenerate webhook secret

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

The description discloses important behavioral characteristics beyond the annotations: the previous secret is invalidated immediately, the new secret appears only in this response, and it is used as a bearer token on deliveries. This is exactly the kind of side-effect and security-relevant context an agent needs before calling the tool.

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?

Three short sentences deliver the core action, the critical invalidation side effect, and the important one-time return behavior. There is no fluff or repetition of structured metadata, and the most important operational constraint is stated upfront.

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: one documented parameter, no nested objects, and no output schema. The description fully covers what the agent needs to know to call it safely and correctly, including the irreversible nature and the one-time visibility of the new secret.

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%, and the single parameter webhookId is already documented in the input schema as 'Webhook ID (returned when the webhook was created).' The description does not add further parameter-level meaning, so the baseline of 3 is appropriate.

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?

States a specific verb and resource: 'Regenerate the secret of a webhook.' This clearly distinguishes it from sibling operations like getWebhook, updateWebhook, deleteWebhook, and testWebhook. An agent can immediately understand what this tool does and how it differs.

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 the usage scenario through the verb 'regenerate' and the consequence that the previous secret is immediately invalidated, but it does not explicitly state when to choose this tool over updateWebhook or other webhook operations. No alternatives are named. The context makes the purpose evident, but the guidance is not explicit.

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