template_create

Destructive

Replaces the source computer. Private templates copy files and signed-in identities; remove credentials before saving. Protected computers refuse this operation.

Tool call template

Replace each placeholder with a value matching the input schema. Only required parameters are included; add optional parameters as needed.

C2.8/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already mark destructive=true and readOnly=false. The description adds substantive behavior: private templates copy files and signed-in identities, credentials should be removed, and protected computers reject the operation. It does not cover idempotency or response, but adds real context beyond annotations.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

Three short sentences, but the opening is ambiguous and the relationship between the sentences is not front-loaded as a clear create operation. The warnings are useful, but the structure could state the action first.

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

Completeness2/5

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

For a destructive create tool with a nested body and no output schema, the description omits parameter meaning and return behavior. It covers security and refusal conditions but not enough to call it complete.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters1/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0% and the description never explains id, body, or name. It only alludes to a source computer, leaving both required parameters undocumented.

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

Purpose3/5

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

The description never explicitly says it creates a template; "Replaces the source computer" is ambiguous and could be read as a machine operation. It mentions private templates and protected computers, so the resource is inferable, but the core action is not stated with a clear verb.

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?

It gives a when-not condition (protected computers refuse) and a security prerequisite (remove credentials before saving), but does not say when to choose template_create over templates, template_delete, or other creation tools.

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