Survey Create

survey_create

Create a new, empty draft survey. Returns it as survey_get does: id, versions.current, shareUrl and editorUrl. Add questions next with question_create_bulk, passing versions.current as surveyVersion. To start from a template use template_create_survey_from; to copy a survey, survey_duplicate. Not idempotent: each call creates another survey, so after a timeout check survey_list before retrying. Give the user editorUrl as a clickable link.

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Although annotations already declare idempotentHint=false and destructiveHint=false, the description adds the consequence (each call creates another survey) and the recovery procedure (check survey_list before retrying). It further discloses the return shape (id, versions.current, shareUrl, editorUrl) and the editorial guidance to surface editorUrl as a clickable link, none of which the annotations provide.

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?

Four short sentences, each with a distinct job: what it creates, what it returns, what to do next, what not to confuse it with, and retry safety. The core create action and the return contract are front-loaded; nothing is redundant.

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?

For a three-parameter creation tool with an output schema and annotations, this covers everything an agent needs: purpose, chaining into question_create_bulk, sibling disambiguation, non-idempotent retry handling, and user-facing link presentation. No material gap remains.

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?

All three parameters are fully documented in the schema (100% coverage), including lang examples and the 50-character title limit, so the schema carries the semantic load. The description adds no parameter-level detail beyond the implicit title and the versions.current reference used for chaining. Baseline 3 is 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?

"Create a new, empty draft survey" is a specific verb plus resource with the state (empty draft) made explicit. The description also names the two nearest siblings it is not — template_create_survey_from and survey_duplicate — so an agent can route correctly without opening schemas.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

It gives the explicit follow-on step (question_create_bulk with versions.current as surveyVersion) and names alternatives for the template and copy cases. The retry procedure after a timeout, checking survey_list rather than re-calling, is a concrete when-not instruction.

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