save_hook_profile

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

With no annotations, the description must disclose side effects. It only says 'save locally', which implies persistence, but fails to mention whether it overwrites existing profiles, requires specific permissions, or has any destructive potential. No additional behavioral context beyond the basic action.

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 extremely concise at one sentence, but it lacks structure. There is no separation of purpose, use cases, or parameter details. While brevity is generally positive, the sentence is too sparse to be effective for a tool with four parameters.

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 (4 parameters including a nested object, no output schema, and no annotations), the description is entirely inadequate. It does not cover return values, error conditions, or preconditions, leaving an AI agent without critical information to use 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 explain any of the four parameters: profileName, description, tags, configJson. For example, it does not clarify that configJson is a nested object representing the profile configuration. The description adds no value beyond the schema itself.

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 ('Save') and resource ('hook configuration profile'), with 'locally' hinting at scope. It differentiates from sibling tools like 'apply_hook_profile' or 'list_hook_profiles' by focusing on saving, not applying or listing.

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, such as when to save locally versus apply or import. The description lacks any context for appropriate use cases or exclusions.

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