seerr_create_settings_sonarr

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

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false. The description adds 'this modifies your Seerr instance', which clarifies that it's a write operation that changes state. While this is somewhat redundant with annotations, it provides a small amount of additional context, though it lacks details on specific side effects or requirements.

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 sentence that front-loads the action and resource. The second clause about modifying the Seerr instance adds useful behavioral context without waste. Every word earns its place.

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, the description is too minimal to support correct invocation. It does not describe the expected body structure, required fields, or any preconditions. Given that this is a settings-creation tool with a generic 'body' parameter, the description is incomplete.

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 input schema has one parameter 'body' with 0% description coverage, and the tool description does not explain what fields should be included. The name 'create_settings_sonarr' hints that body should contain Sonarr settings, but no concrete guidance is given. This leaves the agent to guess the appropriate payload structure.

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 'Create Sonarr instance', which is a specific verb and resource. It clearly differentiates from sibling tools like seerr_list_settings_sonarr, seerr_update_settings_sonarr, and seerr_delete_settings_sonarr. The addition of 'WRITE' reinforces that this is a creation (mutating) operation.

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?

The description implies usage via 'Create' and 'modifies' but does not explicitly discuss when to use this tool versus alternatives such as seerr_create_settings_sonarr_test or seerr_update_settings_sonarr. No exclusions or alternative scenarios are provided, so guidance is only implicit.

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