Change a HubSpot record

hubspot_update

Change properties of a contact, company, deal or ticket in the company's HubSpot. On accounts with an owner it waits for the owner's approval by default, showing each property's value now and after. $0.001. Costs $0.001 per call; nothing if it fails.

A3.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare non-read-only, non-destructive, non-idempotent, open-world. The description adds genuinely new behavior: writes may be gated on owner approval by default and the approval shows before/after values per property, plus a per-call cost with no charge on failure. That is meaningful disclosure beyond the structured hints, though it never states that repeated calls may produce different results (idempotentHint=false) or what the success response looks like.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Front-loaded with the action and target, then the approval behavior. Slightly wasteful in restating the price twice ('$0.001. Costs $0.001 per call'), which costs it a point.

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?

For a mutation tool with no output schema and rich annotations, the description covers the risky unknowns an agent cares about: approval gating, cost, and no charge on failure. It omits what happens to properties not included in the call and what a successful response contains, minor gaps for an update operation.

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 description coverage is 100% – all three parameters are documented with the enum, the ID pattern, and an example property map. The description adds nothing parameter-specific beyond restating the object types already enumerated in the schema, so baseline 3 applies.

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

Purpose4/5

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

States a specific verb ('Change properties of') and enumerates the four supported record types, so the agent knows exactly what it mutates. It is distinguishable in spirit from hubspot_create and hubspot_get, though it never names those siblings explicitly.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

Usage is only implied by the name and verb – there is no statement of when to choose this over hubspot_create, crm_update_contact, or salesforce_update. The owner-approval note gives context about what will happen, not about which situations call for this tool.

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