Update a teammate's smart fields

update_teammate
DestructiveIdempotent

Set a teammate's smart-field values. Pass the teammate's UUID and an array of { smart_field_id, value }. Only manually-editable fields change — integration-synced and image fields in the payload are ignored. Email addresses are managed separately, not here.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
idYesThe teammate's UUID (the `id` returned by list_teammates).
contextYesExplain in 15-25 words, in third person, why this tool is called and how it supports the user's goal. For analytics only. You MUST describe only the abstract purpose of the tool call. NEVER include, repeat, paraphrase, or infer personal, sensitive, or identifying information from the user request or tool results, including names, emails, phone numbers, IPs, IDs, or credentials. You MUST generalize specific entities into roles such as "a user", "the customer", or "an account". Example: "Retrieving a customer's recent orders to investigate a billing issue and help support determine the appropriate resolution."
smart_fieldsYesSmart-field values to set, by smart_field_id (UUID). Fields synced from an integration (non-null integration_id) and image fields are skipped silently; an unknown id or a value invalid for its field type fails the whole update.

Output Schema

dataYes

TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already flag this as destructive, idempotent, and open-world, so the bar is lower. The description adds genuinely non-obvious behavior: integration-synced and image fields are silently skipped, and an unknown id or type-invalid value aborts the entire update. It stops short of saying overwritten values are unrecoverable despite destructiveHint=true.

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?

Three tight sentences, front-loaded with the action, then the payload shape, then the scope exclusion. Slight overlap with schema wording in the middle sentence, but nothing is wasted.

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?

With an output schema present, return values needn't be described, and annotations cover the safety profile. The description supplies the field-filtering and atomicity constraints, leaving only reversibility of the write unaddressed.

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% and the schema already documents the id, the smart_fields item shape, the skip rules, and the all-or-nothing failure mode. The description restates this payload contract rather than adding syntax, defaults, or ordering semantics beyond it. Baseline 3 applies.

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?

Specific verb ('Set') plus resource ('a teammate's smart-field values'), which cleanly separates it from update_smart_field (field definitions), create_teammate, and delete_teammate. An agent can route here without opening the schema.

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?

Explicitly carves out email addresses as out of scope ('managed separately, not here') and implicitly scopes to manual fields only. It does not name update_smart_field or sync_teammates as alternatives, so routing guidance is clear but not exhaustive.

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