create-onenote-notebook

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

Annotations indicate destructiveHint=true and readOnlyHint=false, which are consistent with a creation operation. The description adds one behavioral detail: notebook names must be unique. However, it does not explain the consequences of duplicate names or other behaviors like resource creation limits.

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 brief with a clear title and a tip. It front-loads the purpose and gives a concrete example. No wasted sentences, though the structure could be more formal.

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?

Given the complex nested schema, absence of output schema, and annotations hinting at a potentially destructive operation, the description is insufficient. It does not explain the return object, error handling, or the fact that many body properties are read-only. The agent would need to infer missing details.

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 provides an example body with 'displayName' and notes uniqueness, which adds value beyond the schema. However, it does not clarify that other body properties in the schema are read-only or explain the includeHeaders/excludeResponse parameters. With 67% schema coverage, the description partially compensates.

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 'Create a new OneNote notebook' and repeats the purpose, with an example body. However, it does not distinguish this tool from siblings like create-onenote-section or create-onenote-page, which could confuse an agent choosing between them.

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 guidance on when to use this tool versus other notebook-creation tools or related tools. No context about prerequisites or workflow integration is provided.

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