Behavior1/5

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

The description offers no behavioral context beyond the action itself. With no annotations, it fails to disclose permissions, uniqueness constraints, or the effect of duplicate handles, leaving the agent to guess about side effects.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

One sentence with no filler, clearly front-loaded. It is concise and to the point, though it could be expanded with more context without becoming verbose.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

While the schema covers parameters, the description lacks usage guidance and behavioral transparency. Without an output schema, the agent receives no information about the return value or side effects of creation, making the tool under-specified for reliable invocation.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The input schema already provides descriptions for all three required parameters (type, handle, fields), so the description adds no additional parameter semantics. Schema coverage is 100%, and the description does not enrich the parameters.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description 'Create a new metaobject' uses a specific verb and resource, clearly distinguishing it from sibling tools like update_metaobject, delete_metaobject, and create_metaobject_definition.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No usage guidance is provided; the description does not specify when to use this tool versus alternatives such as update_metaobject or create_metaobject_definition. There is no mention of prerequisites, exclusions, or recommended scenarios.

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