profile.update

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden. It identifies the tool as a mutation ('Change'), but does not disclose side effects, reversibility, permission requirements, or what happens to settings that are not mentioned. This is a significant gap 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?

The description is a single, front-loaded sentence with no filler. It is appropriately sized for the tool, though it is so terse that it omits useful context rather than containing waste.

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 a mutation tool with no annotations, an empty input schema, and no output schema, the description is not complete enough. It lists editable fields but omits behavioral details such as permissions, side effects, and how the update is applied.

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 is an empty object and the parameter count is 0, so the baseline is 4. The description adds useful semantic content by listing the properties that can be changed (name, proxy, group, geo mode), though it does not explain how those changes are supplied or formatted.

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 states a specific verb ('Change') and resource ('a profile's settings'), and it names the editable fields (name, proxy, group, geo mode). It is clearly distinct from profile.create, profile.list, profile.start, and profile.stop, though it does not explicitly call out those alternatives.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like profile.create, profile.batch, or profile.start/stop. It also omits prerequisites such as required permissions or conditions under which a profile can be updated.

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