Add a person

create_profile

Create a new person profile with optional traits like MBTI or DISC, enabling team tools and meeting prep.

Instructions

Add a new person to the user's workspace, optionally with traits already known (e.g. an MBTI type from a past assessment). Use invite_person instead when the person should take the assessment themselves. Returns the new profile id. Costs 1 unit.

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations only signal that this is not read-only, not idempotent, and not destructive. The description goes further by disclosing the return value ('Returns the new profile id') and an operational cost ('Costs 1 unit'). It does not cover reversibility or permissions, but provides useful behavioral context beyond the annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Three sentences carry the main action, the alternative, the return value, and the cost. There is no filler, and the most important decision-relevant information is front-loaded.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a create tool with a well-described 9-parameter schema, the description supplies the missing operational details: the returned profile id and the per-call cost. It also resolves the main confusion with invite_person. An agent has enough to correctly select and invoke this tool.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, and each parameter already has a meaningful description. The description only adds a general use-case note about pre-known traits like MBTI, which is helpful context but not new parameter-level semantics. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states a specific action and resource: 'Add a new person to the user's workspace.' It also explicitly distinguishes itself from invite_person, naming the main sibling with a different purpose. The title 'Add a person' reinforces the same clear intent.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description gives an explicit alternative and the condition for using it: 'Use invite_person instead when the person should take the assessment themselves.' This tells an agent exactly when not to use create_profile, which is the key routing decision among the sibling tools.

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