knowledge_base_create_knowledge_base

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

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=false, so the write nature is known. The description adds the 'max 15 per location' constraint, which is useful context. However, it doesn't disclose failure behavior, permissions, or any side effects beyond creation, so it adds limited value beyond annotations.

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 a single sentence with no unnecessary detail. It front-loads the action and includes a relevant constraint, making it highly concise and easy to parse.

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?

There is no output schema, and the description does not explain what the tool returns. It also omits information about the required 'name' parameter and the semantics of 'description'. Given the minimal schema descriptions, this is incomplete for an agent to call correctly without further inference.

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 only 33% (only locationId documented). The description does not explain any parameter semantics, such as what 'name' or 'description' should contain, or how locationId defaults. Since coverage is below 50%, the description fails to compensate for the undocumented parameters.

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 clearly states the verb 'Create' and the resource 'knowledge base', and adds a per-location limit. It distinguishes from get/update/delete siblings, but there is an overlapping sibling 'knowledge_base_create' that is not addressed, so it's not perfectly differentiated.

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?

No guidance is given about when to use this tool versus alternatives like knowledge_base_update or knowledge_base_create. The max-15 constraint implies a limit but doesn't explain when not to use it or what to do instead. There's no explicit when/when-not guidance.

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