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

The description explicitly reports the required scope 'accounts:write' and confirms the operation mutates server state, which adds an actionable authorization precondition beyond the annotations. It does not describe response behavior or effects on existing keys, but the annotations already communicate the basic read-only and destructive profile.

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 compact and front-loaded with the core action, followed by the endpoint, category, scopes, and mutation warning. Every line carries relevant information and there is no redundant or filler content.

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?

For a create operation with a free-form request body and no output schema, the description leaves the agent without enough guidance to construct a valid payload or anticipate the response. It covers routing, authorization, and side effects, but the most important body semantics are unresolved.

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?

The tool description itself adds no parameter details beyond what the input schema already provides. The schema documents a single 'body' object, notes that its schema is not statically declared, and allows additional properties, so the description does not compensate for the body's unspecified inner fields.

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 opens with 'Create api key' and gives the exact HTTP method and path (POST /v1/api-keys), making the operation unambiguous. Among sibling API-key tools for list, get, patch, delete, and regenerate, this is clearly the creation endpoint.

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 useful context such as the HTTP method, category, required scopes, and mutating behavior, but it does not explicitly state when to choose this over related API-key tools. The intended usage is only implied by the verb 'Create' and the endpoint, leaving alternative-selection guidance to inference.

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