create_shared_category

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

The description warns about subscribe mode preventing bookmark addition and suggests using cocreate for collaboration. It explains key behavioral differences between modes. However, it does not detail permissions or return behavior.

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 extremely concise, with a clear front-loaded purpose and only essential details. No fluff.

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 no output schema and no annotations, the description covers the critical behavioral constraint but does not mention return values or constraints like name uniqueness. It feels slightly incomplete 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?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description adds meaning to the 'mode' parameter by explaining cocreate and subscribe, but does not describe 'name' or 'description' parameters.

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 'Create a shared category' which matches the tool name. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling 'create_category' for non-shared categories, but the context implies shared.

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 guidance on modes within the tool (cocreate vs subscribe) but lacks guidance on when to choose this tool over alternative tools like create_category or others.

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