post_profile__id__cookies

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states 'update' which implies a mutation, but doesn't specify permissions required, side effects (e.g., if it overwrites existing cookies), rate limits, or error handling. This leaves critical behavioral traits undocumented for a tool that modifies data.

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 extremely concise with a single sentence, 'Update cookies for profile', which is front-loaded and wastes no words. It efficiently conveys the core action, though this brevity contributes to gaps in other dimensions.

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 tool's complexity (a mutation with 3 parameters, no annotations, and no output schema), the description is incomplete. It doesn't explain what 'cookies' refer to in this context, how the update works, what the expected outcome is, or handle the undocumented parameters, making it inadequate for safe and effective use.

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 3 parameters with 0% description coverage, so the schema provides no semantic details. The description adds no information about parameters like 'cleanCookies' or 'fromUser', failing to compensate for the schema's lack of documentation. This leaves all parameters semantically unclear.

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 'Update cookies for profile' clearly states the action (update) and target resource (cookies for profile), but it's vague about what 'update' entails—does it replace, add, or modify cookies? It doesn't differentiate from sibling tools like 'get_profile__id__cookies' (which likely retrieves cookies) or other profile-related tools, leaving ambiguity in its specific role.

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. For example, it doesn't mention if this is for setting initial cookies, refreshing them, or handling authentication, nor does it reference sibling tools like 'post_profile__id__web' that might relate to web interactions. The lack of context makes it unclear when this tool is appropriate.

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