create_rights_holder

Register a rights holder managed by this organization, without a creator login or subscription. Requires rights scope. Supply a person/business name and optional country/contact email; returns a rights-holder id for create_work and delegate_authority. Registration records identity and does not itself authorize enforcement.

TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations cover the safety profile (mutation, non-idempotent, non-destructive, open world). The description adds real value beyond them: the rights-scope prerequisite, that the caller needs no creator login or subscription, and crucially that registration records identity but does not authorize enforcement.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two tight sentences, front-loaded with the core action and constraint before the id/return detail. No filler, though the clause list is slightly dense.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With no output schema, the description correctly supplies the return value (a rights-holder id) and its downstream use. Prerequisites and the enforcement caveat are present; only a pagination/error-shape note is absent, which is minor for a create tool.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100% and the schema itself documents name (required), country_code, and contact_email plus the "Use the returned id as rights_holder_id" note. The description restates name/country/email without adding format or constraint detail beyond the schema.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb (Register) and resource (rights holder) scoped to "managed by this organization," and clarifies it happens without a creator login or subscription. This cleanly separates it from siblings like create_work and delegate_authority.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

It names the context (registering a managed holder without creator login/subscription), states the prerequisite (requires rights scope), and points at the downstream tools that consume the id (create_work, delegate_authority). No explicit when-not-to-use beyond the enforcement disclaimer.

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