github_pulls_create

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

No annotations provided. The description only states 'Create a pull request' without disclosing behavioral details such as side effects (branch reference, merge conflicts), authentication needs, or response behavior. For a mutation tool, this is a significant gap.

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?

While brief, the description is under-specifying. It omits critical details such as required parameters and body fields. True conciseness would pack more information into a small space.

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 the absence of annotations, output schema, and the large number of sibling pull-related tools, the description is woefully incomplete. The agent cannot determine basic requirements like owner, repo, or body composition from the description alone.

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 100% but descriptions are minimal ('owner', 'repo', 'Request body (JSON object)'). The description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema. The body parameter lacks structure details (e.g., required fields like title or head).

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?

Description 'Create a pull request' clearly states verb and resource. It is unambiguous for the core action, though it lacks differentiation from similar siblings like 'update' or 'merge'.

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 vs alternatives (e.g., when to create vs update). No mention of prerequisites like required branches or permissions. The agent gets no usage context.

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