Create server template

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

Annotations already indicate mutability (readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false). The description adds value by noting the 'One template per server' limit, which is a behavioral trait beyond annotations. However, it does not detail side effects or permission requirements, which would push it higher.

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 two sentences, front-loaded with the core action, and every word earns its place. No irrelevant details.

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 simplicity, no output schema, and good annotations, the description is reasonably complete. It covers the core action and the key constraint ('One template per server'). With 3 parameters and partial schema coverage, a bit more detail on parameter roles would improve this score.

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 low (33%). Only the 'guild' parameter has a description in the schema; 'name' and 'description' lack descriptions. The tool description does not elaborate on any parameter semantics, failing to compensate for the schema gaps. The agent must infer parameter usage from the name and overall purpose.

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 tool's purpose: 'Snapshot this server's structure as a Discord template others can create servers from.' It uses a specific verb ('Snapshot') and resource ('server template'), and differentiates from sibling tools like delete_server_template and sync_server_template. The 'One template per server' constraint adds clarity.

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 limited guidance on usage. It mentions 'One template per server' as a constraint, but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., when a template already exists, or when to use sync_server_template). No when-not-to-use or explicit context is given.

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