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

TableJSON 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

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, and idempotentHint. The description adds useful behavioral context: it is slower than 'analyze_table', returns a complete audit package, and includes PII detection and health scoring. This goes beyond the annotations without contradicting them.

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?

Two sentences, front-loaded with 'FULL' and enumerating key outputs. It efficiently combines purpose, differentiation, and usage triggers with no filler. Slightly dense but well-structured.

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 the tool's purpose, key outputs, usage conditions, and performance trade-off. The output schema exists to detail return values, so the description adequately orients an agent. It does not over-explain, but leaves no critical gaps for invocation.

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% for both parameters, with the 'connection' parameter already having detailed resolution guidance. The description does not add parameter-specific meaning beyond what the schema provides, so it meets the baseline for high coverage.

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?

The description clearly defines the tool as a comprehensive data quality and compliance report, listing specific components (per-column stats, 0-100 health score, type-gated PII detection, insight warnings). It also differentiates from the sibling 'analyze_table' by noting it is slower but more thorough, so an agent can distinguish them at a glance.

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 states when to use this tool: 'Use this when the user says \'profile\' or \'quality report\' or mentions PII/compliance.' It also contrasts with 'analyze_table' to guide selection. This provides direct, actionable usage criteria.

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