change_user_role

Change an organization member's role. Returns a preview; re-call with the confirm_token and an idempotency_key to commit. Cannot assign the Owner role. Cannot escalate beyond your own role.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
new_roleYesNew role to assign: Admin, Finance, Manager, Member, or Viewer.
org_user_idYesId of the OrganizationUser record to update (not the Firebase userId).
confirm_tokenNoToken returned by the preview (call this tool once with no token to get it). Required to commit; expires in ~10 minutes.
idempotency_keyNoRequired when committing (confirm_token present): retrying with the same key returns the original result instead of acting twice.

TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Discloses two-step commit, idempotency key behavior, role assignment restrictions, and preview-commit semantics. No annotations exist, so description carries all disclosure burden; it does well.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Three concise sentences, front-loaded with main action, no redundant words.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Covers two-step flow, constraints, and parameter details from schema. Lacks error behavior or timeout info, but overall sufficient for a role-change tool with moderate complexity.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline 3. Description adds context about constraints but does not add new parameter-level meaning beyond what schema provides.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Clearly states it changes a member's role, distinguishes from sibling tools like invite_user or remove_user, and mentions the two-step commit process and restrictions.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Provides explicit instructions for the preview-commit pattern and constraints (cannot assign Owner, cannot escalate beyond own role). Lacks explicit comparison to sibling tools but gives sufficient guidance for usage.

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

B3/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Multiple tools have overlapping purposes, e.g., create_time_report and log_time both create a single time entry with near-identical descriptions. There are also many similar getter/list tools that blur together, making it hard for an agent to select the right one.

Naming Consistency2/5

Most tool names use snake_case, but verbs are inconsistent: 'list' vs 'get' for similar operations, 'manage' combines create/update/delete, and 'use_favorite' is an outlier. This pattern reduces predictability.

Tool Count1/5

With 114 tools, the set is extremely large and far beyond a well-scoped server (typical 3-15). This overwhelms agents and suggests many tools could be consolidated or removed.

Completeness3/5

The tool surface covers a broad domain including customers, projects, tasks, time tracking, invoicing, and user management, but there are gaps like no list_users or direct user listing, and some operations seem redundant rather than filling missing functionality.
