bowrd_create_entry

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full disclosure burden. It usefully reveals a non-obvious side effect — the image is downloaded and stored in Bowrd rather than merely referenced — but says nothing about authentication, failure modes for unreachable URLs, or what is returned after creation.

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?

Two short sentences, front-loaded with the core action and followed by the side effect. No filler, no repetition of the title or name.

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?

For a 7-parameter creation tool with no output schema and no annotations, the description covers the action but not the outcome — it never says an entry ID or object is returned for later use with bowrd_get_entry or bowrd_update_entry, nor that is_public defaults to true. Adequate but with clear gaps for a write 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?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so all seven parameters are already documented in the schema, which sets the baseline at 3. The description adds no syntax, format, or constraint detail (e.g., that image_url must be a directly fetchable URI) beyond what the schema states.

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 gives a specific verb and resource ('Create a new pin/entry in Bowrd') plus a key side effect. It is clear on its own, but it never distinguishes itself from adjacent siblings such as bowrd_scrape_images_from_url, which also handles images pulled from URLs, so an agent could confuse the two.

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?

There is no when-to-use guidance, no mention that board_id must first come from bowrd_list_boards or bowrd_create_board, and no stated alternatives or exclusions. The agent must infer all routing from the tool name.

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