Bulk create

bulk_create

Create multiple records of a resource type in one API call (max 100). Each item is processed independently - one failure does not affect others. Returns per-item results. Requires {resource}:write scope. Counts as 1 request for rate limiting.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
itemsYesArray of objects to create (max 100). Each object uses the same fields as the single-create endpoint for that resource.
resourceYesResource type (e.g. "assets", "work-orders")

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Adds substantial behavior beyond the annotations: per-item independent processing, one failure not affecting others, per-item results returned, required {resource}:write scope, and the rate-limiting cost of 1 request. These are exactly the operational facts an agent needs before issuing a bulk write.

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?

Four short sentences, front-loaded with purpose, then failure semantics, return behavior, permissions and rate-limit cost. Nothing is redundant or padded.

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 mutation tool with no output schema, the description covers failure isolation, return granularity, auth scope and rate limiting. It stops short of describing the per-item result shape or how to correlate failures back to input items, which would fully close the loop.

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 both parameters are documented in the schema (items max 100, resource enum), so the schema carries the burden. The description's 'max 100' and 'same fields as the single-create endpoint' framing adds only marginal meaning on top of that.

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+resource scoped as bulk creation ('Create multiple records of a resource type in one API call (max 100)'), which cleanly separates it from the many singular create_* siblings and from bulk_update. The scope constraint is stated up front.

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?

Clearly implies when to reach for it (multiple items in one call, capped at 100) and notes the rate-limit economics ('Counts as 1 request'), but never explicitly says to prefer bulk_create over looping single create_* calls or names an alternative for >100 items.

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