Create soundboard sound

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

Annotations (readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false) are not contradicted. The description adds behavioral details about format, size, duration constraints, and slot limits, which are valuable beyond the annotations.

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 very concise with two sentences, front-loading the key verb and constraints. Every sentence adds necessary context.

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 description covers the main purpose and constraints but omits details about parameter semantics and does not mention the return value (e.g., the created sound object). Given no output schema, this is a gap.

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 coverage is 60%; the description does not explain individual parameters beyond the overall operation. It mentions 'audio URL' but does not detail 'sound_url', 'name', 'volume', 'emoji', or 'guild'. Thus, it adds minimal value to the schema.

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 action (upload/create), the resource (soundboard sound), and the constraints (audio URL, mp3 or ogg, up to 512 KB and 5.2 seconds). It also implicitly distinguishes from sibling tools like delete/update/list_soundboard_sounds.

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 context on slot limits ('Servers start with eight sound slots; boosts add more'), which helps decide when to use. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use or provide alternative tools.

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