trello_split_task

Analyze complex Trello tasks and receive suggestions for breaking them into smaller, manageable subtasks.

Instructions

Analyze a complex task and suggest how to split it into smaller, manageable tasks

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
cardIdYesThe ID of the card to analyze and split
autoCreateNoWhether to automatically create the suggested split tasks
Behavior2/5

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

The description fails to disclose that the tool can optionally create tasks (autoCreate=true). Without annotations, the description should describe side effects; but it only mentions 'suggest', omitting creation behavior.

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 a single, concise sentence that effectively communicates the tool's core function without waste.

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?

The description does not specify what the tool returns (e.g., a list of suggested tasks) and lacks output schema. It also omits prerequisites or postconditions, leaving the agent with incomplete context.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, and the description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema's descriptions for cardId and autoCreate. Baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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 the tool analyzes a complex task and suggests how to split it, using specific verbs and resources, and distinguishes itself from sibling tools like trello_create_task or trello_clarify_task.

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 description implies the tool is used for splitting tasks but does not explicitly state when to use it over alternatives or when not to use it. No exclusions or context provided.

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