Create Checklist Signature Request

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

Description states creation and HTTP 201 on success, consistent with annotations (readOnlyHint=false). Does not add significant behavioral context beyond what annotations provide. No mention of side effects, prerequisites, or calling constraints.

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?

Relatively concise at four sentences. Structure is logical but has redundancy with 'Creates a new Inspections' repetition. Could be slightly more streamlined.

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?

Covers basic purpose, required parameters, and success response. Lacks explanation of failure scenarios, relationship to inspections, or constraints on signatory. Adequate for a simple create tool but with ambiguity.

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 covers all three parameters with descriptions. Tool description reiterates required parameters but adds no new meaning. Baseline 3 is appropriate given high schema coverage.

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?

Clearly states it creates a Signature Request for a specified Checklist. Provides verb, resource, and endpoint details. Slight confusion with 'create a new Inspections' but overall purpose is clear and distinct from siblings like create_checklist_signature.

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?

Lists required parameters but does not provide any guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like create_checklist_signature or creates_a_inspection_item_signature_request_project. No when-not or context for appropriate use.

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