UpdateEntityGetIDVToken

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of explaining behavior. It only says the tool updates an entity and gets an IDV token, but it does not disclose side effects, permissions, token handling, or what the operation actually returns.

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 very short and contains no filler, but it is a bare phrase rather than a structured explanation. It is concise but at the cost of being minimally informative.

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?

This tool has no output schema and no annotations, yet the description does not explain what the IDV token is, how it relates to the update, or what the caller should expect. The ambiguous overlap with sibling tools makes this incompleteness more damaging.

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 input schema has zero properties, so there are no parameter semantics to explain. The description correctly does not invent parameters, matching the baseline of 4 for tools with no parameters.

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 'Update Entity and Get IDV Token' is essentially a spaced-out restatement of the tool name 'UpdateEntityGetIDVToken'. It provides no additional meaning or detail, and it does not distinguish this from siblings like CreateEntityGetIDVToken or UpdateEntityInitIDVProcess.

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 guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention context, prerequisites, or related tools, leaving the agent to infer usage from the name alone.

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