sonarr_update_releaseprofile

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

Annotations set readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false. The description adds a 'WRITE' warning and states it modifies the Sonarr instance, which reinforces the non-read-only nature and goes slightly beyond the annotation by mentioning the persistence effect. However, no additional behavioral details such as permissions, side effects, or error conditions are disclosed.

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 two short sentences with no filler. The 'WRITE:' prefix is slightly redundant given the annotations, but it is efficient and front-loaded.

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 an update tool with a nested body object, the description is minimal. It does not explain what a release profile is, what fields can be updated, how the body parameter works, or any expected outcome. The output schema exists but is not visible, so the agent is left without sufficient 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?

The input schema has two parameters (id and body) with no descriptions, and the description mentions neither. With 0% schema description coverage, the description completely fails to compensate by explaining what these parameters mean, how the body should be structured, or how id is used.

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 uses a specific verb 'Update' with the resource 'release profiles', clearly identifying the operation. The sibling tools (create/delete/get releaseprofile) make the update operation distinct, so there is no ambiguity about which action this tool performs.

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 no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like create, delete, or list release profiles. It only restates the operation name without mentioning contexts, prerequisites, or exclusions.

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