create_team

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

No annotations provided; description only states basic action without disclosing behavioral traits like idempotency, required permissions, or side effects (e.g., automatic channel creation).

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?

One very short sentence, but lacks necessary detail; conciseness is fine but under-specification reduces usability.

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?

No output schema, no annotations, and missing behavioral context; agent cannot infer return values, errors, or selection criteria among many sibling tools.

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 covers 100% of parameters with descriptions; description adds no extra meaning beyond what's in the schema, baseline 3 is appropriate.

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?

Description 'Create a new Microsoft Team' clearly states the action (create) and the resource (Microsoft Team), distinguishing it from siblings like clone_team or archive_team.

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 on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., clone_team) or preconditions (permissions, naming constraints).

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