Create BIM Level

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

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false. The description adds that the tool returns the created object on success (HTTP 201), which is valuable context. However, it does not mention other behaviors like permissions, side effects, 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?

The description is compact: it starts with the purpose, then usage, then return value, then required params, then API context. Every sentence adds value 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?

For a creation tool with three parameters and no output schema, the description adequately covers the return format and success code. It references the Procore API section and endpoint, which helps an agent understand the context. However, the bim_level object structure is not explained.

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 only highlights 'Required parameters: project_id, bim_level' and adds no additional meaning beyond the schema. The bim_level parameter is described as 'the bim level for this BIM operation,' which is vague.

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 verb ('Create'), the resource ('BIM Level'), and the scope ('in a Project'). It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like list_bim_levels and update_bim_level by focusing on creation.

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' and lists required parameters, but it does not explicitly state when not to use this tool or mention alternatives (e.g., batch creation). Implicitly, the agent can infer from sibling tool names, but no explicit guidance is given.

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