Update Quality Profile

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

No annotations provided, so description must carry full burden. It only states the action and a required parameter, omitting details about idempotency, side effects, or return values. Inadequate for a mutation tool.

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?

Very concise at two sentences, but brevity sacrifices necessary detail. Every sentence is functional, but the description is too sparse for the tool's complexity.

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 parameters, 3 required, nested objects, and no output schema, the description is grossly incomplete. It ignores most parameters (e.g., 'body', 'app', pagination fields), leaving the agent with insufficient context to use the tool correctly.

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 description coverage is 0%. Description only adds value by noting 'confirm=true' and implying 'id' identifies the profile. Over a dozen parameters remain unexplained, failing to compensate for the missing schema descriptions.

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 the action ('Update') and resource ('quality profile') clearly. However, it implies the profile is identified by 'id', but 'id' is not listed as a required parameter in the schema, leading to slight ambiguity.

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?

Only mentions the requirement 'confirm=true'. No guidance on when to use this tool versus siblings like 'create_quality_profile' or 'update_custom_format'. Lacks prerequisites or context for invocation.

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