profiles_update_profile

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 only states 'Update a customer profile,' providing no information about mutation semantics, required identifiers, side effects, or any other behavioral traits. This is completely opaque for a mutating operation.

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 with no wasted words, which is structurally straightforward. However, it is under-specified to the point of being almost tautological, so while it is concise, it lacks the substance that would make it genuinely useful.

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 (7 parameters, 2 required), lack of annotations, and zero schema descriptions, this description is severely incomplete. It does not explain update behavior, parameter usage, return values, or any operational context, making it inadequate for an agent to invoke the tool correctly.

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 0%, and the description does not mention any parameters. It adds no meaning beyond the parameter names and types in the schema, leaving the agent without essential guidance on how to populate fields like email, phone, attributes, or why domain_name and profile_id are required.

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 the action ('update') and resource ('customer profile'), which distinguishes it from sibling profile tools like create, get, delete, and merge. However, it does not specify which fields can be updated or any scope constraints, so it falls short of a fully detailed purpose statement.

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?

The description offers no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as profiles_create_profile or profiles_merge. It does not mention prerequisites, required parameters, or any context for appropriate use, leaving the agent to infer usage solely from the tool name.

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