zadig_build_template_create

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full behavioral burden. It usefully discloses dry_run=true by default and the need for confirmation, suggesting a safe-by-default create operation. However, it does not explain what dry_run or confirm actually do, and the statement that confirm=true is required conflicts with the schema where confirm is optional and defaults to false.

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 short and front-loads the purpose, but the first sentence is grammatically awkward and the confirm statement is potentially misleading. It is concise in size but not in clarity.

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?

For a create operation with a nested required object, an output schema, and no annotations, this description is too sparse. An agent is missing critical context about template structure, the dry_run/confirm interaction, and allow_redacted.

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 compensate. It covers dry_run and confirm partially, but says nothing about the required template object's shape or the meaning of allow_redacted, leaving the key payload unexplained.

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 names a clear verb-resource pair, 'Create ... build template', which distinguishes it from the update/delete/list siblings. However, the odd phrase 'store template' makes the object of creation ambiguous, so the agent has to rely on the tool name to resolve the intended target.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus build_template_update, build_template_apply, or build_create. The dry_run/confirm notes are invocation mechanics, not usage context.

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