queue_queue_create

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

Discloses kind and maxsize behavior but lacks details on side effects (e.g., overwrite policy, error handling, idempotency). Annotations absent, so description should cover more.

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?

Extremely concise, one sentence plus key details. Front-loaded with main action, no unnecessary text.

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?

Simple creation tool, but lacks mention of return value or error conditions. Output schema exists but description should hint at success feedback.

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?

Adds meaningful explanation for kind and maxsize beyond schema (enum values, default, maxsize meaning). Name parameter left without additional info, but overall adds value.

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?

Clearly states 'Create a named queue' with specific verb and resource. Distinguishes from sibling queue operations by focusing on creation and detailing queue kind and maxsize options.

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?

Does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like queue_push or queue_list. Implicitly it is the starting point, but no direct guidance or exclusions.

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