create_module_node

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

Given that no annotations are provided, the description carries the burden of disclosing behavior. It discloses the main side effect (automatic Wikilink registration) but omits details like file overwrite behavior, failure modes, or required permissions. The core behavior is communicated, but not exhaustive.

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, well-structured sentence that front-loads the primary action and destination. No unnecessary words or repetitions.

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?

The tool has 5 parameters and an output schema, but the description is minimal. It conveys the essential purpose and a key side effect, yet misses parameter guidance and edge cases. The presence of an output schema mitigates the need to explain return values, but overall completeness is average for a creation tool.

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% and the description does not clarify any parameter meanings. The phrase 'parent overview node' hints at parent_node but does not explain scope, source_files, or workspace_path. The description fails to compensate for the lack of schema descriptions.

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 uses a specific verb ('Create') and specifies the resource ('module or submodule markdown note') along with a key side effect (registering Wikilink in the parent overview node). This clearly differentiates from siblings like update_node and log_decision.

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?

The description implies when to use the tool (creating nodes in a module hierarchy) but does not explicitly state when not to use it or mention alternatives. No exclusions or comparisons to sibling tools are provided.

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