Create A WBS Code

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

Annotations don't contradict description. The description reveals upsert behavior (update if combination exists) and HTTP 201 response, adding value beyond annotations. However, it doesn't detail any auth requirements or rate 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?

Description is front-loaded with core purpose. Includes API endpoint detail which may be useful but adds verbosity. Still concise overall, with no wasted sentences.

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 no output schema, description mentions return of created object with HTTP 201. Upsert behavior is explained. API path and source are provided. For a 3-param tool, this is fairly complete.

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 coverage is 100% so baseline is 3. Description repeats required parameters and mentions 'segment items' but adds minimal extra meaning beyond the schema descriptions. No parameter format details.

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 new WBS code using segments, with upsert behavior noted. It specifies the resource and action, but does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like update_a_wbs_code or bulk_create_wbs_codes.

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 advises using this tool to create WBS records in Procore, but lacks explicit guidance on when to use this vs. alternatives (e.g., bulk creation or update). The upsert behavior is mentioned but no when-not guidelines.

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