Duplicate a tool access profile

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

Annotations indicate it's not read-only and not destructive. The description adds 'Duplicate' which implies creating a copy, but it doesn't clarify side effects (e.g., whether assignments are copied, whether the original is unaffected). OpenWorldHint is true but not addressed.

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 very short (two sentences) and front-loaded. However, it includes unnecessary technical details like 'Paperclip operation' and 'Authorization class' which add noise without aiding an AI agent. Slightly wasteful but still 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?

Given the tool has nested parameters, an output schema, and openWorldHint=true, the description is insufficient. It does not explain what the duplication entails, what the response contains, or any side effects. An agent would lack confidence in using it.

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 description adds no meaning to parameters. For example, 'name' and 'includeAssignments' are not explained (e.g., whether name must be unique, what includeAssignments does). The schema provides structure but description should compensate.

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 title and description clearly state 'Duplicate a tool access profile', which is a specific verb-resource pair. Among sibling tools like patch/delete/get, duplication is a distinct operation, so it is well-differentiated.

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 creating a new profile from scratch or other profile-related tools. The description lacks usage context, such as prerequisites or post-conditions.

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