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

Annotations already declare the safety profile (not read-only, not destructive, not idempotent, not open-world), and the description adds the required write scope, which is useful auth context. It does not describe side effects, return behavior, or what happens when is_default is set, so it adds only moderate value beyond annotations.

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 two sentences, front-loads the core action, and includes no wasted words. It is appropriately sized for the 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?

With annotations covering safety, a fully described schema, and no output schema, the definition is minimally adequate. The required scope is stated, but the description omits when to use this tool, how the structure parameter behaves, and what creating a default template implies, leaving clear gaps for a create mutation.

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 description coverage is 100%, so all four parameters (name, structure, is_default, description) are already documented in the schema. The description adds no additional parameter meaning or format details, so the baseline of 3 applies.

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 specific verb (Create) and resource (project document folder template), making it distinguishable from most sibling tools. However, it does not explicitly differentiate itself from closely related siblings like create_project_document or update_project_document_folder_template beyond the resource name.

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 description mentions a required write scope, which is a prerequisite, but provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as create_project_document or when a folder template is appropriate. No exclusions or context are given.

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