DestructiveIdempotent

Create a new item in Monday.com through the authenticated connector. Use this action to add tasks, leads, or records to your board with idempotency and approval support.

Instructions

Monday connector operation create_item (platform tool monday.create_item).

Routes only through the exact project/account governed connector authority.

Args: arguments: JSON string of arguments for the connector operation. project_id: Authenticated Project UUID. project_ref: Exact project correlation reference. connector_account_ref: Project-bound connector account alias. idempotency_key: Stable business-action identity. effect: Claimed read or write effect; Spring verifies it. approval_ref: Approved platform task UUID when resuming a write.

TDQS

C2.3/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

The description does not state side effects, required approvals, or external API behavior; it relies on annotations for idempotency/destructiveness. The 'effect' parameter mentions read/write claims but doesn't explain what create_item does, leaving behavioral transparency low.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The text is short and structured, but it mostly restates the tool name and lists generic parameters. It is concise at the cost of substance.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness1/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

The description omits the Monday.com item, board, name/column values, required fields, and output behavior, making it insufficient for correct invocation. The presence of an output schema is noted but not described, and the arguments JSON is an undocumented black box.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

All parameters are optional generic strings; descriptions are terse but do not explain the actual Monday create_item fields expected inside the arguments JSON. An agent cannot determine what values to provide, especially for the critical arguments parameter.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose3/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The name and description identify a Monday.com connector operation named create_item, so an agent can infer it creates a Monday item. However, the description never explains what an 'item' is or what the operation does beyond echoing the tool name and routing constraints, so clarity is only moderate.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance is provided about when to choose this tool over siblings or how to prepare the arguments JSON. The only operational note is a routing constraint about project/account governance, which is not a usage guideline.

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