D1.5/5.0
Behavior1/5

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

The description provides no behavioral disclosure beyond the annotations. It does not mention that this creates a folder, whether it affects an account, whether folder names must be unique, or what permissions are needed. Annotations exist but add no context for this tool.

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

Conciseness2/5

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

The description is short, but brevity is not useful when it omits all substantive information. The sentence merely identifies the tool by name and wrapper, which does not earn its place.

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

Completeness1/5

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

With a mutating Notes operation, two required parameters, and one optional parent-folder parameter, this description is far too incomplete. It provides no operational context, no mention of account targeting, no hierarchical folder semantics, and no guidance on output. An agent cannot confidently call this tool correctly.

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

Parameters1/5

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 explain any of the three parameters. Folder_namme, account_name, and parent_folder_id are left entirely undocumented beyond their names and types, so the agent cannot determine valid values or meaning.

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

Purpose2/5

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

The description only restates the tool name and says it is a 'Delegated Apple domain tool' exposed through Apple-Tools-MCP. It never states the actual operation of creating a folder in Notes, making it a tautology rather than a functional explanation.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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 related siblings like notes_create_note or notes_rename_folder. No usage context, prerequisites, or exclusions are provided.

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