update_quick_apply_profile

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must fully convey behavioral traits. It only states 'Update', implying mutation, but fails to disclose authorization needs, side effects, or error conditions. This is insufficient for a mutation tool with no annotation support.

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?

The description is extremely concise with one sentence that front-loads the verb and purpose. Every word earns its place; no redundant or vague phrasing.

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 tool with 20 parameters and no output schema, the description is minimal. It covers the update nature but omits return value, error behavior, or any post-condition. While the schema handles parameters, other context is missing for full completeness.

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% with all parameters described, so baseline is 3. The description adds the value of partial update semantics, which is useful but does not elaborate on parameter meanings beyond the schema. No additional semantic enrichment beyond what the schema already provides.

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?

The description clearly states it updates the Quick Apply profile, distinguishing it from siblings like get_quick_apply_profile and clear_quick_apply_profile by focusing on mutation. The phrase 'Only provide fields you want to change' reinforces its partial update nature.

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?

The description provides explicit guidance to only include fields to change, indicating partial update semantics. However, it does not explicitly contrast with other tools or mention when to use this versus get/clear, though the intent is clear from context.

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