import_profiles

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

There are no annotations, so the description carries the full burden of disclosing side effects. It indicates an import operation but does not explain merge vs. replace behavior, dry-run capability, whether existing profiles are overwritten, or any other behavioral consequences.

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 filler or redundancy. It is efficiently front-loaded with the action and resource, though it sacrifices information for brevity.

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 mutating import tool with no annotations, no output schema, and four under-documented parameters, the description is far too sparse. It omits essential details about the required input, mode semantics, dryRun behavior, and what happens during import.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description needed to compensate for the four parameters. It only hints at YAML/JSON as the format, leaving the input parameter unclear (raw content vs. path) and failing to explain mode and dryRun.

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 a specific verb and resource: import profiles, and identifies the supported source formats (YAML/JSON). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like import_csv (CSV) and export_profiles (the opposite direction). An agent can discern the tool's core function immediately.

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 explicit guidance is given about when to use this tool versus alternatives such as import_csv, create_profile, or update_profile. The source format is implied, but there are no conditions, exclusions, or references to sibling tools.

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