Create Research

create_research

Generate a comprehensive market research report based on a business idea. Accepts anything from a one-liner to full multiline notes (up to 4,000 characters). Costs 1 credit. Returns a compact summary - verdict badge, score, one-paragraph summary, key findings, top bets, and the research ID/URL - not the full report; fetch the full report on demand with get_research.

A4.1/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the annotations, it discloses a concrete side effect: 'Costs 1 credit.' It also reveals that the response is only a compact summary with verdict badge, score, findings, top bets, and ID/URL, and that the full report must be fetched separately. No contradiction with the annotations.

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?

Three dense sentences front-load the main purpose, then cover input constraints, cost, output shape, and follow-up retrieval. Every clause carries useful information with no 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 tool with an output schema, this description fully explains input, cost, and the summary-vs-full-report behavior, including the get_research follow-up. It is slightly incomplete only in not differentiating create_research from create_deep_dive within the sibling tool set.

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 coverage is 100% and the schema already describes the idea parameter as 'anything from a one-liner to full multiline notes.' The description repeats this and adds the 4,000-character limit already present in the schema's maxLength, so it contributes little beyond the schema.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description clearly states the action and resource: 'Generate a comprehensive market research report based on a business idea.' It differentiates from get_research by noting that this call returns only a summary, but it does not explicitly distinguish create_research from the sibling create_deep_dive.

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?

It gives clear context for when to call: when a business idea needs market research, and it accepts anything from a one-liner to full notes. It also points the agent to get_research for fetching the full report later, but it does not explain when create_deep_dive or retry_research might be the better alternative.

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