Chargebee MCP Server and API by Cotlet

Change subscription plan in Chargebee

chargebee_change_subscription_plan
Read-onlyIdempotent

Change subscription plan in the user's own Chargebee account from ChatGPT, Claude or any AI agent. Returns how to do it in Chargebee step by step (screens, buttons, fields) and opens nothing by itself; then do it with the cotlet_browser_* tools in the user's Chargebee Cloud Browser. Chargebee's official API: Yes.

A3.7/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

The key behavioral disclosure is that the tool 'opens nothing by itself' and returns instructions rather than mutating anything, which is consistent with readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false already present in annotations. Because annotations already declare read-only, idempotent, non-destructive and non-open-world behavior, the description's added value is moderate rather than essential. The trailing 'Chargebee's official API: Yes' adds no actionable behavioral information.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The core message — returns guidance, then act via browser tools — is front-loaded and useful. However, the opening clause 'from ChatGPT, Claude or any AI agent' is marketing padding, and the closing fragment 'Chargebee's official API: Yes' is ambiguous filler that does not earn its place.

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 no output schema, the description carries the burden of explaining the return value, and it does so roughly by saying the result is a step-by-step guide covering screens, buttons and fields. It also explains the handoff to browser tools. The only missing piece is clarity on what context the guide is based on, given there are no input parameters.

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

Parameters4/5

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

The tool takes zero parameters, so the baseline is 4 and the schema leaves nothing to explain. The description does not attempt to describe any inputs, which is appropriate here, though it also does not clarify whether plan or customer context is conveyed through the subsequent browser steps.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description names a specific resource and action (changing a subscription plan in Chargebee) and then clarifies the actual output: step-by-step guidance on screens, buttons and fields. That clarification is the most valuable part, since the verb 'Change' would otherwise suggest a direct mutation. It does not explicitly contrast itself with siblings such as chargebee_cancel_subscription or the cotlet_app_guide family, so differentiation is only partial.

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?

It states a clear workflow: call this to get instructions, then perform the change with the cotlet_browser_* tools in the user's Chargebee Cloud Browser. That effectively routes the agent to the correct follow-up tools. It stops short of explicit when-not guidance, e.g. when a direct API or a different Chargebee tool should be used instead.

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