square_create_invoice

DestructiveIdempotent

Create Square invoices through a governed connector account, using idempotency keys to prevent duplicate billing and approval references to resume approved write actions.

Instructions

Square connector operation create_invoice (platform tool square.create_invoice).

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

D1.3/5.0
Behavior1/5

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

The description gives no indication of side effects, data modification, or required permissions. Although annotations reveal that this is destructive and idempotent, the description adds no behavioral details. It does not warn that it creates a permanent record or that it should be used with care.

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

Conciseness2/5

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

The description is extremely brief and follows a generic template, but it is not well-structured for conveying meaning. It lists parameters without any elaboration, and the phrasing is repetitive ('Square connector operation', 'platform tool'). It is concise but at the expense of clarity and usefulness.

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 lacks essential context such as what the operation accomplishes, how the arguments relate to an invoice, what the output schema contains, or how the project/connector references work. Given the complex platform parameters (idempotency_key, approval_ref), the description offers no help. It is completely inadequate for a tool that likely creates financial records.

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

Parameters1/5

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

The input schema has seven parameters, but the description provides no explanation for any of them. It only repeats the parameter names (e.g., 'arguments', 'project_id') without describing their meaning, format, or required values. The schema itself has zero coverage, so the description carries the full burden, and it fails to meet it.

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

Purpose2/5

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

The description merely restates the tool name ('Square connector operation create_invoice') without explaining what the operation does or what creating an invoice entails. It provides no verb or resource beyond the name itself, so the purpose remains vague. It does not differentiate this from other Square tools like square_list_invoices or square_get_invoice.

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

Usage Guidelines1/5

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

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus any alternative. The description does not mention any conditions, prerequisites, or typical use cases. It simply lists generic parameter names without any context.

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