Create Job Tool

create-job
Idempotent

Creates one job directly in the selected FieldRobin business when the connection has job-write permission. Resolve the customer first and pass the verified customer ID when one is named.

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already cover non-read-only, idempotent, and non-destructive traits, so the description's burden is lower. It adds valuable operational context by requiring job-write permission and stating direct single-job creation in the selected business. There is no contradiction with the idempotentHint, which the schema's idempotency_key description also supports.

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?

Two sentences with every clause earning its place: the scope, permission requirement, and the key customer-resolution prerequisite are front-loaded. There is no filler or redundant elaboration.

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?

The tool is a 12-parameter write operation, but 100% schema coverage means most parameter detail is already external to the description. The description covers the main non-obvious prerequisites: permission and customer resolution. The response shape is not described, but no output schema exists and the idempotency_key parameter supplies retry semantics.

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%, so the structured schema already documents the parameters. The description reinforces the customer_id flow ('resolve customer first and pass verified customer ID'), but this mostly echoes the schema property description rather than adding substantial new parameter-level meaning.

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?

The description states a specific verb and resource ('Creates one job') with a clear scope: the selected FieldRobin business and a required job-write permission. This strongly distinguishes the tool from the many sibling read/search tools, so an agent can tell it apart without opening their schemas.

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 gives useful invocation context: use it to create one job directly, only when the connection has job-write permission, and after resolving the customer. It does not explicitly name an alternative tool for creating customers, but the 'resolve the customer first' guidance is a clear precondition.

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