Update Delay Profile

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

With no annotations, the description carries full burden. 'Requires confirm=true' hints at destructive action, but no information about idempotency, side effects, or what happens during update. The schema includes dryRun with default true, which is not mentioned.

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?

Single sentence is concise but at the expense of missing crucial information. It could be more informative without being verbose.

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?

Given 15 complex parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is highly incomplete. It fails to explain what a delay profile is, how parameters like dryRun, fields, or pageSize relate, or what the tool returns.

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 has 15 parameters with 0% description coverage. Description adds no meaning beyond parameter names (e.g., 'id' is implied but not explained). Body is an arbitrary object with no guidance on structure.

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?

Description states 'Update a delay profile by id' which clearly identifies the action and resource. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like update_quality_profile, but the resource name is specific.

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 tool instead of alternatives like get_delay_profiles or other update tools. Only mentions a requirement (confirm=true) but no context for decision-making.

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