bugherd_create_project

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

No annotations present; description only says 'Create', implying mutation. No details on side effects, authentication needs, rate limits, or error conditions. Lacks behavioral context.

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?

Single sentence without extraneous words. Appropriate length for a simple creation tool, but could include brief usage context without losing conciseness.

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, so description should explain return value. Lacks details on boolean parameter behavior or what happens on success/failure. Incomplete for a tool with 4 parameters.

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 parameters are documented. Description adds no additional meaning or context beyond the schema, such as validation rules or defaults.

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 'Create a new BugHerd project' with a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from siblings like bugherd_update_project and bugherd_delete_project by the action, but does not elaborate on scope.

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 vs alternatives. Does not mention prerequisites or comparisons to siblings like bugherd_update_project or bugherd_list_projects.

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