create_document

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It states the tool 'generates and stores a document', indicating a write operation, but lacks details on potential side effects (e.g., overwriting), authentication needs, or rate limits. This minimal transparency is insufficient for a tool with no 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 extremely concise: one introductory sentence followed by a clean bulleted list of parameters. Every sentence adds value, no redundancy, and the structure is easy to parse.

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 presence of an output schema, the description does not need to explain return values. However, for a creation tool with no annotations, it lacks context on permissions, potential errors, or storage behavior. It covers parameter options well but omits broader operational context.

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?

While the schema lacks parameter descriptions (0% coverage), the description explicitly lists all allowed values for 'format' and 'target_suite', adding meaning beyond the schema. This helps the agent understand valid inputs, though the parameter names themselves are self-explanatory.

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 it creates a new document and specifies the types (report, memo, brief, etc.) and includes the format and target options. However, it does not differentiate itself from sibling tools like create_slide_deck or create_spreadsheet, which could cause confusion about which tool to choose for a given task.

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 no guidance on when to use this tool versus other document creation tools or alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites, limitations, or when not to use it, leaving the agent to infer usage from context alone.

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