tokportal_configure_bundle_account

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

The description goes beyond the annotations (idempotentHint=true, readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false) by detailing critical behavioral conditions: the account must have active TokPortal Coverage or be grandfathered, automatic renewal of due periods, and the consequence that 'If Coverage cannot renew, no task or media mutation starts.' It also clarifies that new accounts remain configurable before delivery. This provides rich context for safe invocation.

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 paragraph that front-loads the main purpose, then adds backward-compatibility guidance and behavioral conditions. While efficient, it is dense and could benefit from bullet points or clearer separation of concerns. Still, every sentence adds value.

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 moderate complexity (3 parameters, nested object, no output schema), the description covers the main purpose, usage alternatives, and important prerequisites like Coverage requirements. It lacks details on expected response format, error handling, or what happens if prerequisites are not met. However, it is sufficiently complete for an agent to understand when and how to use the tool.

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 100%, so the schema already documents all parameters. The description adds a high-level summary of the identity fields and the advanced_warming_terms alternative, but does not add significant new meaning beyond the detailed schema descriptions. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 tool's primary action: 'Configure bundle account profile. Sets the account identity (username, visible name, biography, profile picture).' It uses a specific verb ('configure') and resource ('bundle account profile'), and distinguishes itself from the sibling warming-terms endpoint by recommending the alternative for that purpose.

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 explicitly advises when to use an alternative tool: 'For backward compatibility it can also accept the exact purchased advanced_warming_terms list, but PUT /bundles/{id}/warming-terms is the recommended one-shot deferred-target endpoint because it remains available at any account status.' This provides clear guidance on one specific sibling. However, it lacks broader guidance on when to use this tool versus other bundle account tools like finalize or request corrections.

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