data_profile

Read-onlyIdempotent

FULL data quality + compliance report for a table: per-column stats PLUS a 0-100 health score, type-gated PII detection (email / phone / SSN / etc.), and insight warnings. Slower than analyze_table but returns everything needed to audit a table for ownership / compliance / onboarding. Use this when the user says 'profile' or 'quality report' or mentions PII/compliance.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
tableYesTable to profile
connectionNoTarget connection name from this tenant's inventory. Call `list_connections` to see every name + dialect, then match semantically to the user's intent (e.g. 'analytics' → a connection named `*-analytics-*`; 'prod' → a connection with `prod-` prefix). If the user didn't specify, use the tenant's default (first added). Do not invent names — resolve from `list_connections` output.

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint and openWorldHint, so the safety profile is covered by structured data. The description adds real cost/latency context ("Slower than `analyze_table`") and a tier marker, which is exactly the kind of thing annotations can't express. It stops short of saying anything about rate limits or scan breadth (e.g. whether large tables are sampled), so a 4 rather than 5.

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 capability and immediately followed by the differentiator and triggers; no filler sentences. It is densely packed into two long sentences with multiple comma-separated clauses, which slightly hurts scannability but every clause carries information.

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

Completeness5/5

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

An output schema exists, so return values needn't be detailed, yet the description still summarizes what comes back (stats, score, PII, warnings). Combined with the 100%-covered two-parameter schema and the read-only annotations, an agent has everything needed to decide and call correctly.

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%; the `connection` parameter already carries detailed resolution guidance (call `list_connections`, semantic match, default fallback). The description adds nothing about parameters beyond implying a table is required, which the schema states. Baseline 3 is correct when the schema does the heavy lifting.

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?

States a specific verb+resource ("FULL data quality + compliance report for a table") and enumerates the concrete outputs: per-column stats, a 0-100 health score, type-gated PII detection, and insight warnings. It also names the sibling it is not ("Slower than `analyze_table`"), so an agent can distinguish it without opening either schema.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicitly names the alternative (`analyze_table`) and the tradeoff that selects against it, plus positive triggers ("'profile' or 'quality report' or mentions PII/compliance") and use cases (ownership / compliance / onboarding audit). Nothing is left to inference.

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