Create tag

create_tag

Create a workspace tag for an entity type. Names are unique per entity type, case-insensitively.

Use when: Use when the user asks for a label that does not exist yet and you are not attaching it to anything. To create and attach in one step, prefer AssignTagsByName.

workspace_id / user_id are injected from request headers.

Also returns pagination info (id, name, entity_type).

A4.3/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly=false, destructive=false, idempotent=false and openWorld=false, so safety is covered. The description adds genuinely new behavioral context: the case-insensitive uniqueness constraint per entity type and the fact that workspace_id/user_id come from request headers rather than arguments.

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?

Front-loaded with purpose, then usage, then mechanics. The closing sentence about 'pagination info' is extraneous and awkward for a create operation, costing it a point.

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?

A mutation tool with annotations and an output schema, so safety and return shape are largely covered elsewhere. The description handles the routing question and header-injection mechanics well; only entity_type semantics remain thin, which is a minor gap.

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 0%, so the description must compensate. It explains name uniqueness and that workspace/user identity is header-injected, but says nothing about accepted entity_type values or name format constraints, leaving half the parameters under-specified.

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 and resource ('Create a workspace tag for an entity type') plus a scoping rule (unique per entity type, case-insensitively) that separates it from the sibling assign_tags_by_name. An agent can identify the tool's job without opening any schema.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Contains an explicit 'Use when' clause with a negative condition ('you are not attaching it to anything') and names the preferred alternative (AssignTagsByName) for the other case. Routing is unambiguous.

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