Create Collection

collection.create

Create a named document collection for cross-document semantic search and RAG-based Q&A. Free — no credits consumed. Use when you want to group related evidence bundles for unified search (collection.search) or question answering (collection.ask). NOTE: Collections start empty. Add evidence bundles with collection.add_document. Indexing is async — once complete, use collection.search or collection.ask. Returns: { collection_id: string (col_...), name: string } Example prompts:

  • "Create a collection called Q4 Contracts for my quarterly reports."

  • "Set up a new document group named Due Diligence Docs."

  • "Make a collection to organize my vendor agreements."

A4.5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Adds significant behavioral context beyond annotations: free (no credits), starts empty, async indexing, return shape. No contradictions with annotations (readOnlyHint=false, etc.).

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?

Well-structured: purpose, usage notes, return shape, examples. No fluff; every sentence adds value.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given 1 parameter, complete schema, output schema described, annotations present, description covers creation, usage, side effects, and examples. Fully adequate for agent understanding.

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 covers parameter 'name' with description and example. Description adds no new parameter details beyond the schema, but example prompts show usage. Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline 3.

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?

Clearly states verb 'create' and resource 'named document collection', explains purpose (cross-document semantic search and RAG). Distinguishes from siblings like collection.list and collection.search.

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?

Explicitly says when to use ('group related evidence bundles') and describes prerequisites (start empty, need add_document). Provides example prompts for context. Lacks explicit exclusions or alternative tools but sufficient.

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

A4.4/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose, with no overlap. The category prefixes (account, bundle, collection, document, job, receipt, url) and specific action names (get, notarize, verify, create, list, etc.) ensure that an agent can unambiguously select the correct tool for any task.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tools follow a consistent category.action or category.action_noun pattern using snake_case (e.g., bundle.get, collection.add_document, url.translate). No mixed conventions or irregular names, making the pattern predictable and easy to learn.

Tool Count4/5

With 22 tools, the set is somewhat large but each tool addresses a distinct need within a broad domain (evidence management, document AI, collections, URL processing, job tracking, receipts). The count is slightly above the typical well-scoped range but still reasonable given the scope.

Completeness2/5

The tool surface has notable gaps: there is no tool to create or delete an evidence bundle, nor to update collections or bundles. The core workflow of creating a bundle from a document is missing, and the lifecycle is incomplete, which would likely cause agent failures in typical use cases.
