create_memo

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

No annotations provided. The description only states creation, lacking details on side effects, required permissions, or what happens on invocation. The schema supplements partially but does not cover behavioral implications.

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?

Ultra-concise: one sentence with no wasted words. Front-loaded with the action. Efficient for an agent to parse.

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?

With 2 simple params and no output schema, the description is brief. It does not specify return value (e.g., created memo ID or object), which could aid usability. Adequate but not complete.

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% (all params described in schema). The description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema, but the schema itself is clear. Baseline score of 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?

The description 'Create a new memo' clearly states the action and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools (get, search, update) by the verb 'create', which is distinct enough.

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 like update_memo. The description does not provide when-not or alternative contexts.

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