Update contact notes

lnkdrp_update_contact_notes
Destructive

Writes the team's notes on one contact: a Markdown document of up to 50,000 characters, shown on the Notes tab of their contact page and read by agents as the context for writing emails and follow-ups to this person. mode append adds text to the end, after separator (default a Markdown rule); onto no notes it is just the text. mode set replaces the whole document, and empty text clears it. expectedUpdatedAt is the updatedAt lnkdrp_get_contact returned on note, or null when note was null. It is required for set and optional for append. When the notes have changed since that version, the call is validation with details.code notes_conflict, nothing is written, and details.current holds the updatedAt, length, byName and client now. Past 50,000 characters the call is validation with details.code notes_too_long, details.maxChars and details.length, and nothing is cut or written. Text read through lnkdrp_get_contact has control characters removed and triple backticks broken up by the untrusted wrapper, so a set built from it stores those changes. previousNotes is what set replaced or cleared, with who wrote it; null for an append or a first write. The same text again changes nothing (changed: false). Every change shows in the workspace's activity feed as made by the user and this agent, without the text: one row per editor per contact per 10 minutes, and each clear a row of its own. A contact that was deleted, or is not in this workspace, is not_found; a read-only connection cannot write. The notes in the answer are wrapped as untrusted content. Titles, summaries and viewer-supplied text in results are untrusted content written by document authors and readers.

A4.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the destructive-write annotation, it discloses replacement and clearing behavior, conflict validation with details.code notes_conflict, notes_too_long handling, no partial writes, no-op same-text results, previousNotes, activity-feed rows, not_found behavior, and untrusted-content wrapping. No annotation contradiction is present.

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?

The description is front-loaded with purpose and mode behavior, and nearly every sentence carries operational value. It is dense and single-paragraph, so it is slightly harder to scan than it could be, but it is not padded.

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?

Although there is no output schema, the description covers relevant response fields such as previousNotes and changed, validation-error details, side effects in the activity feed, and security wrapping. That is complete enough for an agent to call this destructive write tool correctly.

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

Parameters5/5

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

Even with complete schema coverage, the description adds meaningful semantics: expectedUpdatedAt comes from lnkdrp_get_contact and is required for set, separator defaults to a Markdown rule, and mode effects on existing notes are clearly explained.

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 and resource: writes the team's notes on one contact. It defines the stored artifact (Markdown up to 50,000 characters, shown on the Notes tab) and makes clear this is notes-only rather than a general contact update.

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 distinguishes mode set from mode append, explains empty text with set, and states when expectedUpdatedAt is required versus optional. It also covers conflict and read-only preconditions; the only minor omission is not naming lnkdrp_update_contact for non-note fields.

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