zabbix_user_updateprofile

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It does not mention authentication requirements, whether the operation is destructive, or any side effects. The description adds no value beyond the name.

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?

While very short, the description is under-informative. It fails to provide necessary context, making it an example of under-specification rather than effective conciseness.

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 lack of annotations, the minimal description, and the generic input schema, the description is completely inadequate. It does not cover usage context, expected parameters, or behavior, and it does not leverage the existing output schema to clarify return values.

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 a single generic 'params' object with no descriptions and schema coverage 0%. The description does not explain what fields or values should be included in 'params', leaving the agent with no guidance on how to invoke the tool correctly.

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 'Zabbix API user.updateprofile method' states the verb 'update' and the resource 'user profile', but it is essentially a restatement of the tool name. It lacks detail on what exactly is updated and does not distinguish this tool from similar siblings like 'zabbix_user_update' or 'zabbix_user_changepassword'.

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 is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. With many user-related tools available (e.g., zabbix_user_update, zabbix_user_changepassword, zabbix_user_resetpassword), the description offers no context for selection.

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