Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already convey that this is a write operation that is not destructive. The description adds only the Rokha task-system context and the fact that a new task is created; it does not disclose auth requirements, failure modes, duplicate handling, or what the tool returns.
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, front-loaded sentence with no filler. Every word adds context, and it is appropriately sized for a simple creation tool.
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 simple 3-parameter creation tool with a complete schema and consistent annotations, the description is minimally adequate. The main gap is that there is no output schema and the description does not mention what the caller can expect back after creation.
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 coverage is 100%, so all three parameters (name, description, priority) are already documented. The description adds no parameter-level detail, which is acceptable because the schema carries the full burden.
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 states a clear action (create), a clear object (a new task), and the domain (Rokha task system), so an agent can understand what the tool does. However, it largely restates the title and does not explicitly distinguish itself from sibling task-related tools like get_task_status.
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 intended use is implied clearly: call this when you need to create a new task. There is no explicit guidance about when not to use it, prerequisites, or alternatives, so an agent must infer the full usage context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
