households_recipe_actions_create_one

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

No annotations are provided, so the description bears full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It only says 'Create One' and the endpoint, omitting any information about side effects, authorization requirements, rate limits, or what happens on success/error. This is insufficient for a mutation tool.

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 very short (two lines) but at the cost of missing critical information. Conciseness should not sacrifice completeness. While front-loaded with 'Create One', it fails to include necessary details about parameters or behavior, making it under-specific rather than efficiently concise.

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?

Given no annotations, no output schema, a nested parameter with an enum, and 0% schema description coverage, the description is wholly inadequate. It provides no insight into the resource being created, the required fields, or the expected response. Almost all context needed for correct usage is missing.

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 0%, meaning the schema itself lacks property descriptions. The tool description does not explain any parameters despite the input schema containing required fields (url, title, actionType) with an enum. The agent has no guidance on what values to provide or the meaning of each field.

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 'Create One' which implies creation but does not specify what resource is being created. The accompanying endpoint '/api/households/recipe-actions' provides some context that it's a recipe action within a household, but without a subject noun, the purpose remains vague. It is not a tautology because it adds the endpoint, but it lacks clarity compared to siblings that have more descriptive titles.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The sibling list includes many other create tools (e.g., households_cookbooks_create_one, households_mealplans_create_one) and related actions (update, delete, get), but no criteria for choosing this one. The description does not mention prerequisites, context, or exclusions.

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