pool_create

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

The description includes a '[WRITE][risk=medium]' tag, which provides some behavioral context. However, it does not disclose side effects, conflict behavior, or permission requirements. Since no annotations are provided, the description partially compensates but leaves gaps.

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 concise, with a clear structure: a header line followed by a list of arguments with explanations. No unnecessary words or repetition.

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 description covers parameters well and the write operation is clear. It does not describe return values, but overall it provides sufficient context for a straightforward creation tool. Minor improvement could be a note on typical output.

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?

The description explains all 5 parameters with details (defaults, application options), providing significant meaning beyond the input schema which has 0% description coverage. This fully compensates for the schema gap.

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 'Create a replicated pool', which is a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like pool_delete, pool_ls, and set_pool_pg_num, as it is the only creation tool.

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 explicit guidance on when to use or when not to use. The purpose is clear but lacks context about prerequisites or scenarios where alternatives are preferable. Usage is implied by the create action.

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