Create Project Task

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

Annotations already indicate it is not read-only and not destructive. The description adds context about the API endpoint and HTTP response status (201), but does not disclose additional behavioral traits such as permissions 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 two sentences plus details about the API endpoint and required parameters. It is mostly concise, though the inclusion of the specific HTTP status code and full endpoint path could be trimmed without losing essential information.

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?

No output schema exists; the description states it returns the created object. However, it does not explain the purpose of optional parameters or provide context on how the tool fits into the broader Estimating workflow. Given the complexity of siblings, more guidance would be helpful.

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%, with each parameter described. The description only repeats the required parameters (company_id, project_id, value) without adding new meaning. Optional parameters (due_date, assigned_to_user_id) are not mentioned, so no additional value over 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 it creates 'Estimating records' in Procore and returns the created object. However, it does not distinguish between this tool and the sibling 'create_project_task_company_v2_0', missing differentiation.

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 Estimating records' and lists required parameters, but it does not provide guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., v2.0) or mention when not to use it.

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