create_conditional_trigger

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

With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It explains the trigger behavior (periodic condition check) but does not disclose side effects, authorization requirements, or what happens if condition never met. It adds some value beyond the schema but is not comprehensive.

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 that effectively summarizes the tool. It is front-loaded with verb and resource, uses backticks for key parameters, and contains no unnecessary words.

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 the core mechanism but does not mention prerequisites (e.g., workflow and agent must exist) or the return value. Since there is no output schema, a brief note on what the tool returns would improve completeness. Overall adequate for a straightforward create tool.

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 coverage is 100%, so baseline 3. Description explicitly explains conditionText and repeatIntervalMinutes, but doesn't detail other parameters (workflowId, triggerId, agentId, enabled) beyond what schema provides. This meets the baseline for a well-covered schema.

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 clearly states the verb 'create', resource 'conditional trigger on a workflow', and the mechanism: agent checks conditionText every repeatIntervalMinutes and fires the workflow when met. It distinguishes from sibling tools like list/update/delete conditional triggers and other trigger types (webhook, cron).

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 use for periodic condition-based triggering but does not explicitly state when to use this over cron or webhook triggers. No 'when not to use' or alternative names are provided. The agent must infer context from the description alone.

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