C2.5/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It says data is 'loaded into the database as a new entry', which does imply persistence/mutation, but it omits authentication requirements, validation/failure behavior, and any side effects (e.g., whether defaults are populated) that matter for a create operation.

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

Conciseness2/5

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

It front-loads a redundant title restatement ('Create One — Recipe: CRUD') and ends with a long keyword dump that adds no decision-relevant information. The one useful sentence is buried between filler.

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?

With no annotations, no output schema, and 0% parameter coverage, the description should carry considerably more weight. It leaves auth, response shape, and payload structure undocumented, which is inadequate for a create endpoint with an opaque body parameter.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema coverage is 0% and the single 'body' parameter is a $ref to CreateRecipe whose only documented field is 'name'. The description adds only that the body is a JSON string, which is thin and arguably at odds with the object schema; it doesn't explain required fields or payload shape.

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 states a clear verb+resource ('Create recipe') and the endpoint POST /api/recipes, and even notes that the payload is persisted as a new entry. It does not, however, distinguish itself from the many sibling creation tools (create_recipe_from_html_or_json, create_recipe_from_zip, create_recipe_from_image), so an agent can't tell which creation path applies here.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus create_recipe_from_html_or_json, create_recipe_from_zip, or create_many. The trailing keyword list ('create recipe, add recipe, new recipe ...') is search boilerplate, not usage context.

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