teamleader_deal_create

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure, but it only restates the action 'Create a new deal/opportunity'. It does not mention permissions, side effects, or what happens after creation, offering no additional context beyond the tool's name.

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 a single concise sentence with no wasted words. However, it is somewhat redundant with the tool name, adding minimal value. It is appropriately sized but could be slightly more informative without becoming verbose.

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?

Given the tool is a simple CRUD create operation with a fully documented schema, the description covers the basic purpose. However, it lacks information about return values, error potentials, or required authorizations, which would be helpful for an agent operating without annotations or an output schema.

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?

The input schema provides 100% coverage for all 9 parameters, including descriptions for each. The description itself contributes no parameter-specific information, but since the schema is fully descriptive, baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 uses a specific verb 'Create' with a clear resource 'deal/opportunity', making the tool's purpose unmistakable. It also distinguishes from sibling tools like deal_update or deal_move by clearly indicating this is for creating new deals.

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 versus alternatives. The description only states what the tool does, without mentioning scenarios, prerequisites, or explicitly contrasting with related tools such as teamleader_deal_update.

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