agent_gallery_templates

The ready-made agent templates shown in the dashboard gallery. Actions: list (available templates with their templateId), create (templateId, optional title / description: creates a new agent from that template as-is). To build a custom agent for a specific business use create_agent_from_template instead.

Tool call template

Replace each placeholder with a value matching the input schema. Only required parameters are included; add optional parameters as needed.

TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare non-read-only, non-destructive, and non-idempotent behavior; the description adds that create instantiates a new agent from the template as-is and accepts optional title/description. It does not clarify that list is a read operation within this mixed-action tool or describe permissions, side effects, or limits for create.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Three compact sentences front-load the resource, then enumerate actions and the relevant alternative. It avoids redundant restatement of annotations and schema details.

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?

For a five-parameter mixed list/create tool with no output schema, it covers the key decision between gallery templates and custom agent creation and explains the main create inputs. It leaves mode behavior and the exact create return shape to the schema and annotations, which is a minor gap.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema description coverage is low at 40%, but the description supplies semantics for action, templateId, title, and description, noting that templateId is required for create and title/description are optional. The mode parameter is not discussed in the description, though the schema itself documents it.

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?

Names the resource (ready-made agent templates in the dashboard gallery) and explicitly enumerates the supported actions, list and create, including what list returns (templateId) and what create does (new agent from that template as-is). It also distinguishes itself from create_agent_from_template for custom agents.

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?

States action-specific usage and explicitly routes custom agent construction to the named alternative create_agent_from_template. The list-to-create dependency is implied because list surfaces templateId and create requires templateId, but it is not stated as an explicit workflow instruction.

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