linklee_create_link

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

No annotations are present, so the description must cover behavioral traits. It only states 'Returns the short URL and link details' with no mention of mutation side effects, rate limits, authentication needs, or behavior of optional fields (e.g., auto-generation of key). The description is insufficient for a creation tool with 7 parameters.

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 with no redundancy. However, for a tool with 5 optional parameters, it could afford a bit more detail (e.g., noting key auto-generation). Still, it earns a high score for brevity.

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 no output schema, no annotations, and 7 parameters (5 optional), the description is too sparse. It doesn't explain the purpose of optional fields like UTM parameters, comments, or the key auto-generation behavior. A more comprehensive description is needed for effective agent use.

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 input schema has 100% description coverage, so the schema already documents each parameter. The tool description adds no extra meaning beyond summarizing the return. Baseline 3 is appropriate as the description does not deepen understanding of parameter usage or constraints.

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 action ('Create') and the resource ('a short link'), and specifies the return type ('short URL and link details'). It distinguishes itself from sibling tools (analytics, list, tags) by its unique creation function.

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 is provided on when to use this tool vs alternatives (e.g., when to auto-generate key vs provide custom, prerequisites like workspace existence). There are no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use instructions.

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