Create Permission Template

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

Annotations already set readOnlyHint=false, so the mutation intent is clear. The description adds no additional behavioral traits (e.g., side effects, auth needs) beyond stating HTTP 201. It also contradicts the input schema by claiming company_id is required when schema says none are required.

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 verbose and repetitively mentions 'Directory records' twice, contains filler like 'Creates a new Directory records' without adding value. It could be condensed to a single clear sentence.

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?

With 10 parameters and no output schema, the description is severely incomplete. It does not explain the structure of permissions, required fields, or how the tool fits into the broader workflow. The user has no actionable guidance beyond the endpoint.

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. However, the description adds misleading information by stating company_id is required (contradicting schema) and does not explain other parameters. The endpoint path hint is useful but insufficient to compensate for inaccuracy.

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 states it creates a permission template and returns it with permitted actions, but it repeatedly and incorrectly refers to 'Directory records', which is a different entity. This confusion undermines clarity and misleads the 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?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool over alternatives like list_permission_templates or update_permission. The description entirely omits usage context or exclusions.

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