v1.0.0Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description bears full responsibility. It only states 'Update an SWP profile object by UUID' without mentioning permissions, reversibility, side effects, or what happens if the UUID does not exist.
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 very concise (8 words) but lacks important details. It is front-loaded but at the expense of completeness.
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 no output schema, no annotations, and moderate schema coverage, the description is incomplete. It does not explain return values, error conditions, or prerequisites for updating an SWP profile.
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 50% (body has a description). The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema for either parameter. It does not explain required fields in the body or the format of uuid.
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 the action (Update) and resource (SWP profile object by UUID). However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like sdcloud_update_anti_spam_profile, which also update profiles.
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 other update tools. Siblings like sdcloud_create_swp_profile and sdcloud_update_anti_spam_profile exist, but the description provides no context or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
