update_profile

Destructive

Update a profile by ID. Supports changing display info, email branding (theme, support email), theme, custom links, and verification display settings.

ACCESS: needs a Proof account. Authenticate this client (Claude Code: /mcp → Authenticate), then call this tool again. start_login does NOT open this tool.

Output Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
idYesMongoDB ObjectId
bioNo
themeYesProfile theme customization
usernameNoAbsent until a username is claimed
is_publicYes
avatar_urlNoA URL or a data URI; null once cleared
created_atYes
is_primaryYes
profile_idYesThe public id used in profile URLs
updated_atYes
view_countYes
email_themeYesTheme of this sub-account's emails; null when unset (read as `dark`).
is_businessYes
proof_orderYesWho decided the order of a profile's proofs. `default`: domain, social account, Telegram bot, email, phone, wallet, then each proof's `display_order`. `owner`: the owner's `display_order` alone — send it when the owner reorders. The first shown proof that is not hidden leads the profile's preview card, share tags and badge. Omitted on an update, the profile keeps its current setting.
custom_linksYes
display_nameNo
business_nameNo
public_proofsYesThe shown proofs, in the order the public profile shows them
support_emailYesSupport address shown in this sub-account's messages; null when unset.
show_delegationsYes
verification_levelYesAlways 'basic'; no levels are computed; removed in the next major.
show_proof_channelsYes
show_verification_datesYes

  4. First observed

TDQS

B3.4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=true, so the write/destructive nature is known. The description adds the authentication requirement, but omits the most important behavioral fact for a 15-param update call: whether unspecified fields are preserved or cleared, and whether custom_links replaces the whole list. That omission matters given 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?

Two paragraphs, front-loaded with the operation and its mutable surface, followed by a clearly separated ACCESS block. Slightly verbose phrasing in the auth sentence, but every sentence carries usable information.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

An output schema exists, so return values need not be explained, and the required profile_id is clear. Against 15 parameters, a nested theme object, and destructiveHint=true, however, the description leaves the partial-vs-full update contract and the is_primary/is_business coupling unexplained.

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% with per-field descriptions, enums, patterns, and maxLengths, so the schema carries the parameter semantics and the baseline of 3 applies. The description's field groupings ('email branding (theme, support email)') restate schema content without adding format or interaction detail.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Update a profile by ID') and enumerates the mutable surface (display info, email branding, theme, custom links, verification display settings). It does not distinguish this from the very similar siblings update_my_profile or set_primary_profile, so an agent still has to infer which profile-scoped mutation to pick.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The access block gives a concrete prerequisite and recovery path (needs a Proof account, authenticate via /mcp, start_login does not open this tool), which is genuinely actionable. However, there is no guidance on when to use this versus update_my_profile, set_primary_profile, or update_profile_proofs — usage is only implied by the field list.

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