pipedrive_update_person_field

Idempotent

Update a person custom field's name, visibility, required, and important settings using its field_code. Modify field metadata without altering field_type or field_code.

Instructions

Update a person custom field by field_code. field_type and field_code cannot be changed.

Tool call template

Replace each placeholder with a value matching the input schema. Only required parameters are included; add optional parameters as needed.

{
  "id": 1,
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "arguments": {
      "field_code": "<field_code>"
    },
    "name": "pipedrive_update_person_field"
  }
}

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
field_codeYesThe field_code (40-char hash for custom fields) from the field create/list response. NOT the human field name.
field_nameNoNew field name (1-255 chars)
ui_visibilityNoUI visibility: add_visible_flag, details_visible_flag, show_in_add_deal_dialog{show, order}.
required_fieldsNoRequired-field config: enabled (person/org fields support only this flag).
important_fieldsNoImportant-field highlighting: enabled, stage_ids (always references DEAL stages, even on person/org fields).

TDQS

A4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations indicate idempotentHint=true, and the description confirms that field_type and field_code cannot be changed, which is consistent. However, no additional behavioral traits (e.g., whether updates are partial, permissions required) are disclosed beyond what annotations provide.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single clear sentence. It is concise, though bullet points could improve readability for parameter details. No unnecessary words.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given no output schema and 5 parameters (1 required), the description covers the main aspects: update action, immutables, parameter specifics. It could mention return value format but is otherwise adequate.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters5/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The description adds significant value beyond the schema: it clarifies that field_code must be a 40-char hash from create/list response (not human name), and warns that important_fields always references deal stages even on person/org fields. Schema coverage is 100%.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the action 'Update' and the resource 'person custom field by field_code', and explicitly notes constraints ('field_type and field_code cannot be changed'). This distinguishes it from related tools like create_person_field or list_person_fields.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description does not provide explicit guidance on when to use this tool vs. alternatives such as update_person_field_options or create_person_field. While the name implies update, no 'when not to use' or alternative suggestions are given.

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