Api journey steps create

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

Annotations declare a non-read-only, non-idempotent operation in an open world, so the agent knows it mutates external state. The description adds nothing: no indication of required permissions, what a created step is attached to, or what happens on retry given idempotentHint=false. It does not contradict the annotations, but it contributes no behavioral information at all.

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 text is extremely short, but that is under-specification rather than conciseness; there is nothing front-loaded because there is nothing to load. Not verbose, but earns no credit for structure.

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?

A mutating create endpoint with an opaque free-form body, no output schema, and zero annotation explanation of semantics requires substantial description. The definition is effectively empty, leaving the agent unable to call the tool correctly.

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?

The single 'body' parameter has 0% schema description coverage and is typed only as a free-form object with additionalProperties. The description offers no information about what the body must contain, so the agent has no way to construct a valid request from either source.

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 is literally the tool name repeated ('api_journey_steps_create'), with no verb, resource, or scope beyond what the name already encodes. It cannot be distinguished from sibling tools such as journey_steps_batch_action_create or journey_steps_update on the basis of the description.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus journey_steps_update, journey_steps_partial_update, or journey_steps_batch_action_create. No context, exclusions, or alternatives are mentioned anywhere.

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