Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=false, so safety is covered. The description adds nothing beyond that: it does not say whether omitted fields are left unchanged (partial vs full replace), whether the URL is validated or fetched, or what happens on failure — the key ambiguity for a two-optional-parameter mutation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
One short sentence, front-loaded and free of filler. It is appropriately sized for a simple two-field update, though it is too terse to carry much information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple, non-destructive, idempotent update with fully documented parameters and no output schema, the description is minimally sufficient. It still leaves the partial-update semantics unstated, which matters because both parameters are optional.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% and both parameters are described there, so the schema carries the semantics. The description only restates the two field names, adding no format or validation detail beyond what the schema provides; baseline 3 applies.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
States a specific verb ('Change') and resource ('your profile'), and names the two mutable fields, so its purpose is immediately clear. It does not explicitly distinguish itself from the sibling get_profile, but the read/write distinction is implied by 'Change'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this versus get_profile or update_workspace, and no note on prerequisites such as authentication. The agent must infer everything from the tool name.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
