discord_create_role

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It reveals the role is placed below the bot's highest role, but it omits permission prerequisites (e.g., required bot permissions), side effects on existing role order, and whether role creation can fail or be reversed. This is only minimal transparency for a mutating 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 entire description is a single front-loaded sentence: 'Create a new role below the bot's highest role.' Every word contributes essential meaning, and there is no filler or verbose context. It earns its place and is appropriately sized for this tool.

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?

The tool has an output schema, so return values are likely covered, but the description still omits crucial contextual details for safely executing a mutation: which Discord permissions are required, how the 'below the bot's highest role' constraint behaves in different guilds, and what values the structured parameters expect. As a result, the agent is not fully equipped to invoke this tool correctly.

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%, and the description adds no meanings to any of the seven parameters. An agent receives no guidance on how to encode color, what strings to pass for permissions, the semantics of hoist and mentionable, or how guild_id selects the guild. The single sentence does not compensate for the complete lack of schema descriptions.

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?

Title and description clearly state the action: 'Create a new role.' It also specifies the important positioning constraint 'below the bot's highest role,' which distinguishes it from role-editing, role-deleting, role-assigning, and role-moving siblings. This is a concrete verb-resource pair with added scope.

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?

The description implies usage for creating a role and establishes a positional constraint, but it does not explicitly explain when to use this tool instead of alternatives like discord_edit_role, discord_move_role, or discord_assign_role. No negative guidance is provided, but the create verb doesn't mislead.

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