Create a diagram

create_diagram

Create a diagram in AI Flowchart from a plain-English description and get a link that opens it as an editable board (edit, present as an animated slideshow, export PNG/PDF/PowerPoint). Flowcharts, sequence diagrams and mind maps also come back as Mermaid code. Types: flowchart, mindmap, sequence (API / login flows), erdiagram (database), systemdesign (architecture), swimlane, orgchart, uml_class, uml_usecase, uml_state, uml_activity, timeline, gantt (project plan), chart (bar/line/pie… from data you describe). Uses 1 AI credit; advanced types need AI Flowchart Pro.

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations confirm this is a non-read-only, open-world, non-idempotent creation, and the description adds material context beyond them: it consumes 1 AI credit and some diagram types require a Pro subscription. It also discloses the return shape (editable board, animated slideshow, PNG/PDF/PowerPoint export, Mermaid code for select types), which is valuable with no output schema. It stops short of 5 by not covering failure modes or auth requirements.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two sentences, capability and return disclosed first, then the type taxonomy. Dense with no filler, though the long type list probes the upper bound of a single-sentence enumeration.

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?

With no output schema and no separate reference doc, the description covers what the agent needs: inputs, the full type vocabulary, the credit cost and Pro gating, and what comes back. Nothing essential to calling it correctly is missing.

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 100%, so the 3 baseline applies, but the description earns more by annotating every enum value with a parenthetical meaning (API/login flows, database, architecture, project plan) and by telling the agent what to put in 'description' (process, system, data, steps, numbers, names and specifics from the conversation). That is real added meaning over the terse schema fields.

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 (Create) and resource (a diagram in AI Flowchart), plus the input modality (plain-English description) and the return (editable board link). That 'plain-English description' framing cleanly distinguishes it from the sibling code_to_flowchart, which takes code.

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 'from a plain-English description' qualifier implicitly routes code input to code_to_flowchart, and the long type enumeration tells the agent which diagram kinds are supported and what each maps to (e.g. 'gantt (project plan)', 'erdiagram (database)'). It never explicitly names an alternative tool or states when-not to use it, so it falls short of a 5.

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