notion_create_database

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

No annotations are present, and the description only provides internal routing details (JWT, tenant, scope) rather than behavioral characteristics like required permissions, side effects, or error conditions.

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 short but wastes one sentence on internal routing details that are irrelevant for an AI agent. It lacks concise, meaningful 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?

Despite having an output schema (not shown), the description fails to explain what the tool does, how to use it, or what the response represents. It is a stub lacking critical context for a creation operation.

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 single parameter 'arguments' is a generic JSON string with no explanation of expected structure or fields. With 0% schema description coverage, the description adds no meaning beyond the schema itself.

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 states it's a Notion connector operation to create a database, but it doesn't specify what creating a database means in Notion context. It fails to distinguish from sibling tools like notion_create_page or notion_create_dashboard.

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?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like notion_create_page or notion_query_database. No prerequisites or context for invocation are provided.

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