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

The annotations already disclose that this is a non-read-only, non-destructive, non-idempotent, open-world operation. The description adds no behavioral context beyond the purpose, such as authentication requirements, rate limits, or what happens when a link is created. It does not contradict the annotations, but it also does not enrich them.

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

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

The description is a single front-loaded sentence with no wasted words. It is appropriately concise for a short purpose statement, though its brevity contributes to the gaps in usage and parameter guidance.

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

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

For a 7-parameter mutation tool with nested objects and no output schema, the description is far too thin. It states the purpose but omits usage guidance, parameter semantics, and behavioral details beyond what the annotations already provide. An agent would need to rely heavily on the schema and sibling context to invoke it correctly.

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

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

Schema description coverage is 57%, and the description only hints at the workspace_id parameter by saying 'for the workspace.' It does not explain the required idempotency_key, the optional password, title, brand_id, or the sparse body/query override objects. With moderate schema coverage, the description should compensate for undocumented parameters but fails to do so.

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

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

The description states a specific verb ('Create') and resource ('OAuth connect link'), making the core action clear. It also scopes the operation to the workspace. However, it does not explicitly differentiate this link from sibling link-creation tools like create_short_link or create_client_review_link, nor does it explain what a 'connect link' is for beyond the OAuth label.

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

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

The description gives no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as create_client_review_link, create_report_link, or create_short_link. It also omits prerequisites or conditions, such as whether a workspace or brand must already exist. The only implied context is that it creates an OAuth connect link for a workspace.

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