create_task

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

No annotations are present, so the description must carry the behavioral burden. It discloses that the operation creates a task and imposes an English-only restriction, but it does not mention permissions, side effects, session-based defaults, or result behavior. For a mutation tool with zero annotation coverage, this is a significant gap.

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?

Two short sentences with the core operation front-loaded and no filler. The 'IMPORTANT' warning is effectively placed and each sentence earns its place.

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?

The rich schema covers all parameter semantics and the description states the essential action and constraints. However, with no annotations and no output schema, the description leaves out behavioral and session context (e.g., auto-populated teamId/projectId and expected return value), making it adequate but not fully complete.

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 100%, with all nine parameters already documented including types, enums, and auto-from-session notes. The description only restates the English requirement and required fields that the schema already conveys, adding no new semantic detail.

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?

States a specific action ('Create a new task') and clearly identifies the resource and required inputs. The verb 'create' is distinct from sibling mutations like update_task and move_task, so the agent can tell them apart without opening the schema.

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?

Provides clear context by naming the required fields (title and columnId) and highlighting the English-language constraint. It does not explicitly exclude alternative tools, but the creation intent is self-evident from the name and sibling list.

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