dashbrr_create_plex_pin

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

The description discloses the return values (pin id and code) and the polling requirement, adding behavioral context beyond the annotations. Annotations only indicate readOnly=false and destructiveHint=true; the description explains the actual state-changing nature via authentication flow. No contradiction.

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 a single, compact sentence conveying purpose, return values, and next steps without redundancy.

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 no parameters and an existing output schema, the description covers the essential flow: creation, returned data, and polling handoff. It is fully sufficient for an agent to invoke and interpret the result.

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 tool has zero parameters, and the schema coverage is 100%, so the description is not required to provide parameter semantics. The empty schema is clear.

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 begins with a specific action 'create a Plex PIN' and clearly identifies it as starting a Plex authentication flow. This distinguishes it from the sibling 'dashbrr_get_plex_pin' which polls the PIN.

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?

It explicitly states that after creation, one should poll with dashbrr_get_plex_pin until an authToken is returned, setting clear context for the tool's role in the flow. However, it does not provide explicit exclusions or alternative scenarios, though the context is sufficient.

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