updatePrivacySettings

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the full burden. It only says 'Updates,' implying mutation, but does not disclose whether the operation is destructive, idempotent, or requires permissions. The behavioral impact of the boolean parameters is not explained.

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 concise sentence, but it could be expanded to include more detail without becoming verbose. It is appropriately front-loaded but lacks substance.

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 output schema and low schema description coverage, the description should provide more context about the tool's behavior, success conditions, or error handling. It fails to do so, leaving significant gaps for the agent.

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 low (33%). The description does not explain the meaning of 'disguisedTrackers' or 'allowAffiliate' beyond their names. The required 'profile_id' is documented, but the optional booleans lack context, leaving the agent to guess their effect on privacy settings.

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 'Updates privacy protection options,' which is a specific verb and resource. However, it lacks specificity about which privacy options are updated, making it somewhat generic. Among siblings, it differentiates as an update operation but does not detail the exact settings.

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 like addPrivacyBlocklist or removePrivacyBlocklist. There is no mention of prerequisites, context, or exclusions, leaving the agent to infer usage.

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