B3.2/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only labels the operation as [WRITE] and states the resource type, but does not disclose side effects (e.g., whether existing mounts are affected), permission requirements, or reversibility. The description adds minimal behavior context beyond the explicit action verb.

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?

One sentence with zero filler, front-loaded with the write indicator. Highly efficient and appropriately concise for a tool with a relatively clear action.

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?

Given the tool has 10 parameters, conditional requirements (e.g., `name` required for persistent, `fs_path` for file), and no output schema or annotations, the description is far too sparse. It does not explain the relationship between parameters, required combinations, or behavioral expectations, leaving an agent with significant gaps when deciding how to invoke it correctly.

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%, so all parameters already have descriptions. The description itself adds no extra parameter semantics beyond indicating 'persistent or file storage mount', which echoes the `type` enum already present in the schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate because the schema handles full parameter documentation.

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?

Description clearly states the action (Add) and the resource (storage mount to a Coolify service sub-resource), with specificity that distinguishes it from sibling tools operating on application or database storage. It is a precise verb-object construction.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternative storage creation tools (e.g., coolify_create_application_storage or coolify_create_database_storage). The description does not mention prerequisites, constraints, or decision criteria for choosing persistent vs file storage.

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