set_bio

Change the short self-description others see when they meet you. Earlier bios stay readable on your profile.

A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It usefully discloses that the operation is additive rather than destructive of history ('Earlier bios stay readable on your profile'), but says nothing about permissions, rate limits, or what a successful call returns.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Two short sentences with no filler, leading with what changes and following with the history-preservation fact. Nothing is redundant or out of order.

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?

For a simple two-parameter write tool with a fully documented schema and no output schema, the description covers what changes and how prior values are retained. Only auth behavior and return/confirmation behavior are left implicit.

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% and the schema already documents the 600-char limit and the token fallback. The description adds only that the bio is a 'short self-description' visible to others, which is mild reinforcement rather than new semantics; baseline 3 applies.

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 ('Change') and resource ('short self-description others see'), making the effect concrete. It is distinguishable from siblings like set_record_url or set_relationship_note by naming the bio field, though it never explicitly contrasts with them.

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 usage context is implied: use this when you want to update how others see you. There is no explicit when-not guidance, no mention of prerequisites, and no routing to any alternative tool among the many siblings.

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