aedt_create_setup

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states 'create' which implies mutation, but does not mention permissions, side effects, or whether the setup is immediately active. For a creation tool, more transparency is needed.

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 sentence, but it is too terse and lacks useful information. Conciseness should not come at the expense of completeness; here, it omits essential details, making it under-specified rather than concise.

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 tool has three parameters and an output schema, the description is severely incomplete. It does not explain what a solution setup is, the role of each parameter, or how the output relates to the input. Compared to siblings like 'aedt_get_setup_properties', this description provides no context for the agent to use 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?

Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description adds no meaning to the three parameters. 'name', 'setup_type', and 'properties' are not explained. For example, 'setup_type' likely refers to AEDT solution types (e.g., 'Modal'), but this is absent. The description fails to compensate for the sparse schema.

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 clearly states the tool creates an AEDT solution setup and applies properties. It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'aedt_update_setup' (update) and 'aedt_get_setup_properties' (get) by using 'create'. However, the term 'setup properties' is vague and could be more specific.

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 versus alternatives. For instance, it does not mention that previously created setups should be updated with 'aedt_update_setup' instead. The description provides no context on prerequisites or typical use cases.

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