node_plugin_create_config

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden, and it delivers only the HTTP method and path. For a mutation (POST) it does not say whether creation is idempotent, what happens on duplicate name, whether the plugin is immediately active, or what auth/permissions are required. The confirm/preview gate is documented only in the schema, not the description.

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?

It is short, but the content is boilerplate rather than substance: the raw "POST /api/node-plugins" line and "Tags: Node Plugins Controller" consume the whole description without adding agent-facing value. Front-loading a useless route string leaves no room for the information an agent actually needs.

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?

A mutating tool with a required nested object, no annotations, no output schema, and no explanation of the confirm-preview flow is significantly under-described. The description supplies none of the missing context, leaving the agent to infer behavior from the schema constraints alone.

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 50%. The single documented parameter (confirm) is explained in the schema itself, while the nested `body` object's `name` field has constraints (pattern, 2-30 chars) but no prose meaning, and the description adds nothing about the required body shape. It does not compensate for the coverage 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 does name a specific verb and resource ("Create Node Plugin") and the sibling namespace (node_plugin_get_all_configs, node_plugin_update_config, node_plugin_clone_node_plugin) lets an agent separate create from read/update/clone. However, it is a bare HTTP endpoint dump with no statement of what a node plugin config actually is or contains, so it is only minimally directive.

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 when-to-use, when-not-to-use, or alternative routing. The agent is not told how this differs from node_plugin_clone_node_plugin (which also produces a plugin) or node_plugin_create_shared_list, nor what prerequisites exist. The verb "Create" is the only, implied, guidance.

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