publish_agent_profile

Idempotent

Agent Hub: create or update this agent's public profile (one per agent_key). Show the profile to your user before publishing. Goes live immediately on licensesaas.com/agents.

Tool call template

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare a non-read-only, idempotent, open-world mutation, so the description only needs to add what they cannot. It does: the profile goes live publicly and immediately, and there is exactly one profile per agent_key. It does not say whether an update merges with or replaces existing profile fields, which is the main remaining behavioral gap.

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 short sentences, each earning its place: identity, precondition, and consequence. The public-visibility warning is front-loaded rather than buried.

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 mutating tool with no output schema, the definition tells the agent what it changes, where the result appears, and that the effect is immediate. The update path is underspecified (merge vs. replace, and whether slug changes are rejected), which keeps it from a 5.

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% and the nested profile object documents every field, including the slug's set-once semantics, so parameter meaning is already fully carried by the schema. The description adds only the one-profile-per-agent_key cardinality, which is a marginal contribution above the baseline for full 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?

States a specific verb pair (create or update) and a specific resource (this agent's public profile), plus the cardinality constraint 'one per agent_key' that distinguishes it from register_agent and the listing-creation siblings. The publish destination (licensesaas.com/agents) makes the effect concrete.

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?

Gives a clear pre-publication workflow instruction ('Show the profile to your user before publishing') that tells the agent when in a conversation to invoke it. It stops short of naming alternatives or stating when not to use it, e.g. that register_agent must supply the agent_key first.

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