discord_create_forum_channel

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

Description adds creation behavior and return value (name and ID) beyond annotations, which indicate non-read-only and non-destructive. No contradictions; permission requirement noted.

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 well-structured sentences: purpose, explanation, alternative, permission, and return info. No unnecessary words.

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?

Describes output (name and ID) despite no output schema, explains forum concept, and notes permission. Lacks detail on success/failure indicators but sufficient for a creation tool.

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 covers all 4 parameters with descriptions (100% coverage). Description adds no extra parameter details beyond schema, staying at baseline.

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?

Description clearly states it creates a forum channel in a server, defines forums as holding posts/threads, and distinguishes from discord_create_channel for text/voice channels.

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?

Explicitly mentions when to use this tool (for forum channels) and directs to discord_create_channel for text/voice, and notes required Manage Channels permission. Does not provide exhaustive when-not-to-use scenarios.

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