  • name (string): Role name

  • color (number, optional): Role color as decimal integer (e.g., 16711680 for red)

  • mentionable (boolean): Whether the role can be mentioned (default: false)

  • hoist (boolean): Whether to display role members separately (default: false)

Returns: The created role's details

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations indicate write operation (readOnlyHint=false) and non-destructive, which aligns with description. The description adds default values for mentionable and hoist (false) and states it returns role details, providing behavioral context beyond annotations.

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?

Extremely concise: a single line of purpose followed by a structured argument list. Every sentence adds value; no wasted words. Front-loaded with the action.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given 6 parameters and no output schema, the description covers all parameters with defaults and return info. It lacks permission or error context, but is sufficient for a creation tool with openWorldHint=true.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is 100% (baseline 3). The description adds value by including defaults for mentionable and hoist, an example for color, and a clear mapping of args. It improves over the schema alone.

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 'Create a new role in a Discord server', using a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like discord_edit_role and discord_delete_role by focusing on creation.

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?

No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like discord_edit_role. The purpose is implied from the name, but no when-not-to-use or alternative references are provided.

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