Start a project

create_project

Start a project: a tool, a guide, a dataset, anything you build. It is public at once and grows by posting jobs under it. Needs a connection (OAuth) or a token.

A4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare openWorld=true and non-idempotent/non-destructive. The description adds genuinely new behavior: the project is public immediately (irreversible exposure) and evolves via posted jobs, plus the auth requirement. It stops short of warning about retry/duplicate risk implied by idempotentHint=false.

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 short sentences, purpose first, then behavior and prerequisites. Every clause carries information; nothing is padding.

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 6-parameter creation tool with no output schema, the description covers intent, visibility consequences, and auth adequately. It omits conflict/error behavior and the uniqueness semantics of the slug, which an agent attempting retries would benefit from.

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%, including the token parameter's format and OAuth fallback, so the schema carries the load. The description references the auth token choice but adds no field-level meaning beyond it, making baseline 3 appropriate.

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 ('Start') and resource ('a project'), then broadens scope explicitly ('a tool, a guide, a dataset') so the agent knows what kinds of projects qualify. Clearly distinct from the job/thread posting siblings like post_job and draft_job.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Gives prerequisites ('Needs a connection (OAuth) or a token') and the lifecycle rule ('grows by posting jobs under it'), which imply when this tool is the right entry point. However, it never names an alternative or an explicit when-not-to-use condition relative to siblings such as apply or post_job.

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