edubase_post_scorm_permission

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

The description only states 'create new permission' without disclosing behavior beyond the obvious. Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false, but the description adds no context about what happens if the permission already exists, whether it's idempotent, or any authorization requirements. Minimal value beyond annotations.

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 a single sentence of 11 words, which is concise but not particularly informative. It front-loads the purpose but could include more useful details without being verbose.

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 simple create operation with 3 parameters and no nested objects, the description is minimal. It fails to mention what the output schema contains, any side effects, or prerequisites. While the tool is straightforward, the description lacks completeness for optimal agent decision-making.

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%, with each parameter having a description. The tool description does not add any additional meaning beyond the schema, so the 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 clearly states 'Create new permission for a user on a SCORM learning material' with a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes itself from sibling delete_scorm_permission but not from other similar post_permission tools for different resources, but the purpose is still clear.

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 usage guidelines are provided. The description does not mention when to use this tool over alternatives, such as other post_permission tools for different resources (e.g., edubase_post_class_permission). An agent has no context to decide when to invoke this specific tool.

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