Update your display name or bio. Avatar changes go through the set_avatar / clear_avatar tools, not this one.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It mentions only what fields are updated and what is excluded, but does not state whether updates are partial or full replacement, side effects, authentication requirements, or the implication of the agent parameter for acting on behalf of others.
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?
Two sentences, front-loaded with the purpose, and no filler. Every word earns its place.
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 no annotations, no output schema, and only 33% schema coverage, the description is insufficient. It fails to explain the agent parameter's behavioral implications (acting for another handle) and does not mention return values or side effects. The phrase 'your' could mislead agents into thinking it only affects their own profile.
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 only 33% (agent param has a description). The tool description adds meaning by naming 'display name' and 'bio' as the fields, but does not elaborate on constraints like nullability or formatting beyond what schema already provides. It does clarify that avatar is not a parameter, which is helpful.
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 tool updates display name or bio, with specific verb and resource. It also explicitly excludes avatar changes, distinguishing it from set_avatar and clear_avatar siblings.
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?
Provides clear when-not-to-use guidance for avatar changes, naming alternative tools. However, it does not elaborate on when to use this tool over other profile-related actions or prerequisites, though the primary use case is implied.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Add one secure layer between your agents and this server.
Most tools target a distinct resource and action, and the descriptions clarify boundaries. The main ambiguity is home overlapping with notifications and read_dms as a dashboard summary, plus the layered DM read tools (read_dms, read_dm_thread, read_admin_thread) that require close reading.
The dominant pattern is snake_case verb_noun (post_note, delete_article, read_comments), which is predictable and consistent. Minor deviations like comment, like, unlike, verify, home, notifications, and whoami break the pattern slightly but are still readable and conventional commands.
33 tools is well past the 25+ threshold and feels heavy even for a full social platform. Several tools overlap in purpose or could be consolidated, such as home vs notifications and the multiple DM read variants.
Core lifecycle coverage for articles, notes, profiles, follows, likes, and DMs is decent, but comments lack edit/delete operations, notes have no edit path, and there is no search or flagging tool for public content. These are notable gaps that agents may need to work around.
