Create A Batch Of BIM View Folder By Path

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

The description adds value beyond annotations by detailing that if a folder exists, the lowest-level folder is returned. It also notes HTTP 201 on success. Annotations already indicate write intent (readOnlyHint=false) and no idempotency, which is consistent. No contradictions.

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 five sentences, front-loaded with the core action and concise overall. It includes purpose, param hints, and API details without fluff. Could be slightly more structured but remains efficient.

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?

The tool creates a batch, but the description only mentions returning 'the created object' singularly, which is ambiguous for a batch operation. It lacks details on whether the response is an array, how errors are handled for individual items within the batch, or the path format. With no output schema, this gap is significant.

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 the baseline is 3. The description highlights required parameters (project_id, bim_view_folders) and explains that bim_view_folders is an array of nested folder payloads. However, it does not elaborate on the structure of each payload item (e.g., path format), which limits additional meaning beyond the schema.

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 creates a batch of nested BIM folders by path, distinguishing it from single-folder tools like create_bim_view_folder and create_or_find_bim_view_folder_by_path. The behavior of returning the lowest-level folder if it already exists further clarifies its purpose.

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 says 'Use this to create a new BIM records in Procore,' which gives a general use case. However, it does not explicitly mention when to prefer this batch version over single-folder alternatives, nor does it list exclusions or failure conditions. The title implies batch usage, but more explicit guidance would be helpful.

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