create_document

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

With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only states 'Create a document' (a mutation) and explains the content parameter. It fails to mention permissions, rate limits, whether overwriting occurs, or what the tool returns. This is minimal disclosure for a creation tool.

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 two sentences: the first declaratively states the purpose, and the second adds relevant detail about the content parameter. No extraneous words, well front-loaded.

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?

Given 3 parameters, no annotations, and no output schema, the description is too sparse. It omits return value, error handling, side effects, and parameter constraints beyond a single content type hint. Incomplete for a creation tool that needs to inform the agent about what happens after invocation.

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 0%, so the description must add parameter meaning. It only explains 'content' as markdown/text, leaving 'title' and 'parent_id' with no additional context. This does not adequately compensate for the lack of schema descriptions.

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 document', a specific verb+resource pair. It distinguishes from sibling tools like delete_document, update_document, etc. It also clarifies the 'content' parameter as the body, making the purpose unambiguous.

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 gives no guidance on when to use create_document versus alternatives such as update_document or restore_document. No context on prerequisites, such as whether parent_id is optional or required for hierarchical structures, is provided.

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