datasets_create

Create a dataset with CSV data. First row is the header. Two column names are recognized specially: "expected_output" is each row's answer key (ground truth) given to the judge and to checks that compare against the row's expected value, and "actual_output" is a pre-made output to score in a prompt-less run. Both are overridable per run (expected_column / output_column). Every column is also available to the prompt as a variable.

A4.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full behavioral burden and does well by disclosing header-row handling, special treatment of expected_output/actual_output columns, per-run overrides, and variable availability to prompts. It does not discuss side effects like persistence or permissions, but that is partially implied by the 'create' verb, and the added column behavior is valuable beyond the name and schema.

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?

The description is two sentences long, front-loaded with the main action, and each sentence adds meaningful detail. It covers the essential CSV structure, special column behaviors, and extensibility without any wasted words.

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?

Considering there is no output schema and no annotations, the description provides a surprisingly complete picture of the tool's behavior, including edge cases like prompt-less runs and per-run overrides. The main gap is the undocumented tag_names parameter, but the core functionality is well specified.

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 coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It thoroughly explains the csv_data parameter, including header semantics and the role of special columns, and clarifies behavior related to expected_column and output_column. However, it does not explicitly define the tag_names parameter, which remains ambiguous.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool creates a dataset from CSV data, which is a specific verb+resource combination. It implicitly distinguishes from datasets_create_from_url by specifying inline CSV data, but does not explicitly name the sibling alternative, so it falls short of a 5.

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?

The description conveys that this tool is for creating datasets when CSV data is already available, and it details relevant CSV formatting rules. It does not explicitly exclude scenarios or mention alternatives, but the context is clear enough for an agent to infer appropriate use.

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

B3/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

Each tool targets a distinct resource and action, with clear separation across agreements, datasets, judges, metrics, prompts, runs, tags, and usage. Even similar tools like datasets_create vs datasets_create_from_url and runs_generate vs runs_rerun are explicitly differentiated in their descriptions.

Naming Consistency5/5

The overwhelming majority of tools follow a consistent plural_resource_action snake_case pattern (e.g., datasets_create, metrics_update, runs_retry_failures). The only slight deviation is promptfoo_import, but it is still descriptive and does not break the overall predictability.

Tool Count1/5

With 54 tools, the server far exceeds the 25+ threshold considered too many, and approaches the 50+ extreme mismatch level. Even for a broad LLM evaluation platform, this count is excessive and likely to overwhelm agents, making tool selection more error-prone.

Completeness4/5

The toolset provides full CRUD for core resources (datasets, metrics, prompts, runs, tags) plus lifecycle operations like publish, generate, regrade, and retry. It also includes cross-cutting utilities (usage, import, provider credentials). Minor gaps exist, such as no update/delete for agreements and no cross-run response search, but these are non-essential for the primary workflows.
