create_module

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

There are no annotations, so the description must carry the burden of disclosing behavioral traits. It only provides parameter constraints (status values, UUID types) but does not mention side effects, permissions, creation semantics, or return behavior. This is minimal transparency for a mutation tool.

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, consisting of two sentences with no redundant information. It front-loads the core action and then adds essential parameter notes, making it easy to parse quickly.

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?

With 8 parameters and zero schema description coverage, the tool description leaves many fields ambiguous, particularly date formats and project association. The existence of an output schema helps, but the description does not compensate for the lack of parameter guidance, making it insufficient for complex or edge-case usage.

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 description adds value by specifying the allowed status values and clarifying that lead/members are member UUIDs, which is helpful given the schema has no descriptions for these fields. However, other parameters like start_date, target_date, and project_id are left undefined, relying solely on the schema's type/title information.

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 the tool's function with a specific verb ('Create') and resource ('a module'), which distinguishes it from sibling tools like update_module or list_modules. It is unambiguous and immediately informs the agent what action this tool performs.

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 is provided about when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as prerequisites, relationships to other entities, or scenarios where a different tool might be more appropriate. The description simply states what it does without contextual usage instructions.

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