spl-token_deployToken

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It discloses the output (mint address and unsigned transaction) but omits important behavioral details: whether it checks for existing tokens, Solana rent requirements, failure modes for invalid metadata, or if further signing/submission steps are 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 efficient sentence that front-loads the core action and return value. It is concise but could include additional critical context without becoming verbose.

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's complexity (10 parameters, 3 required, no output schema), the description is too minimal. It does not explain the deployment workflow, optionality of Metaplex metadata, or response structure beyond 'mint address and unsigned transaction'. The agent lacks guidance on prerequisites and post-deployment steps.

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%, so baseline is 3. The description does not add any extra meaning beyond what the schema already provides for parameters. No parameter-specific elaboration is given.

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 it deploys a new SPL token with Metaplex metadata and returns the mint address and unsigned transaction. This specific verb and resource distinction sets it apart from sibling tools like spl-token_burn or spl-token_transfer.

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?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as spl-token_mintTo, pump_launchToken, or metaplex-nft_deployCollection. There are no when/when-not statements or alternative tool mentions.

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