Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only says 'Medium risk,' which hints at potential side effects but does not explain what they are—e.g., whether creating a profile with an existing name overwrites it, whether the confirm parameter is required for that, or what happens if the operation fails. This is insufficient for safe usage.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is extremely short—two sentences with no filler. It efficiently conveys the core purpose and a risk level. Every word contributes, and it is front-loaded with the action.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Despite having an output schema, the tool has no annotations and no parameter descriptions. The description does not cover the confirm parameter's role, overwrite behavior, or any prerequisites. The 'Medium risk' note is a start, but for a mutation tool with a required confirm-flag pattern likely present, it lacks necessary context.

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

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description must explain the parameters. It does not mention profile_name or confirm at all. While 'profile_name' is self-explanatory, 'confirm' is unclear without explanation—does it confirm overwriting? The 'Medium risk' hint indirectly relates but does not define parameter behavior.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states a specific action ('Create') and resource ('a new OBS profile'), which distinguishes it from sibling tools like list_profiles and set_current_profile. The phrase 'OBS profile' is explicit and unambiguous.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The usage context is implied: this tool is for creating a new profile, not for listing or switching profiles. However, there is no explicit mention of when to use it versus alternatives, such as checking if a profile already exists or using set_current_profile. The 'Medium risk' tag gives a small hint but no clear when-to-use guidance.

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