updateNotificationProfileStatus

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

No annotations are provided, and the description discloses no behavioral traits such as mutability, side effects, permissions, or return values. The tool appears to modify state, but the description offers no transparency into what happens when invoked.

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 short but incomplete (cut off at 'crea') and poorly structured. It lists parameters in bullet form without a clear opening sentence or logical flow. It is under-specified rather than concise.

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 tool with 6 parameters (5 required) and no output schema, the description lacks necessary context. It fails to explain what the tool returns, prerequisites, or the effect of the operation. The description is far from complete.

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 covers all parameters with descriptions (100% coverage). The description's parameter list mostly duplicates this information without adding new meaning. The baseline of 3 is appropriate since schema already does the work.

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 restates the tool's name and lists parameters without a clear verb+resource statement. It does not explicitly say 'Updates the status of a notification profile to enable or disable it,' leaving the purpose vague. The name implies the action, but the description fails to articulate it.

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 sibling tools like 'associateNotificationProfiles' and 'listNotificationProfiles', the description should differentiate usage contexts but does not.

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