Makes a named print profile the default for its printer and sets that printer as the default for printing, so future print jobs use the intended settings.

Changes observed during successful MCP inspections.
v0.3.0Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It usefully discloses a non-obvious side effect: the profile becomes default AND its printer becomes the printing default. However, it says nothing about prior defaults being overwritten, permission requirements, or error behavior 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?
A single sentence, front-loaded with the primary effect and parenthetically noting the secondary effect. No filler.
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?
For a one-parameter mutation tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description explains the behavior but leaves the parameter's identity, the fate of the previous default, and failure modes unaddressed. Adequate but with clear gaps.
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 coverage is 0% and the sole parameter 'name' is undocumented. The description partially compensates by framing it as 'a profile', implying name refers to the profile rather than the printer, but it does not clarify the accepted identifier format or whether printer names are accepted.
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?
States a specific verb and resource ('Make a profile the default') and even names the cascading effect on the printer's default. It is easily distinguished from siblings like save_profile and delete_profile, though it never explicitly contrasts with them.
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 when-to-use guidance, no prerequisites, and no mention of alternatives such as save_profile for creating a profile first. The action itself implies intent, but nothing tells an agent under which conditions to pick this tool.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
