v1.0.0Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, and the description does not disclose behavioral traits such as idempotency, whether missing fields are ignored or overwritten, or any side effects. The agent has no information beyond the fact that it updates.
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 a single 7-word sentence, which is concise but lacks necessary detail. It could be restructured to include more context without becoming 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 the complexity (nested body object, no output schema, many sibling tools), the description is extremely incomplete. It does not explain the body structure, expected response, error conditions, or how to construct the request. The agent is left without crucial information 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 coverage is 50%; only the 'body' parameter has a description in the schema. The tool description adds 'by UUID' but does not explain the uuid format or provide any additional meaning for the body parameter beyond what the schema states.
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 'Update an AAMW profile object by UUID' clearly indicates the verb (update) and resource (AAMW profile object). It distinguishes from sibling tools like create/get/delete, but does not explicitly state that it modifies an existing profile.
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 versus alternatives (e.g., create vs update). No prerequisites or conditions for use are mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
