create_pack

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. It only states that it creates a pack and returns a dictionary, but omits critical behaviors such as whether creation is idempotent, what happens if the pack name already exists, whether servers must be pre-existing, or what permissions 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 concise and well-structured: a single clarifying sentence followed by a clear Args section and a Returns note. Each parameter is listed with a brief, purposeful explanation, and there is no redundant filler.

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?

For a simple 4-parameter create tool with an output schema, the description covers the main essentials: purpose, parameters, and return type. However, it lacks integration with sibling tools (e.g., how this relates to install_pack or create_company_pack_template), any behavioral constraints, and does not explain what constitutes a valid server list.

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 description coverage is 0%, so the descriptions of pack_name, description, servers, and tags add essential meaning beyond the bare schema. The examples for pack_name and the note that tags are optional for categorization are helpful. However, it could specify more about valid server names or whether pack_name has format constraints.

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 opening sentence 'Create a new company/team pack with specific MCP servers' uses a specific verb and resource, clearly distinguishing it from sibling tools like update_pack, list_packs, and add_server_to_pack. This makes the tool's sole purpose unmistakable.

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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as update_pack or create_company_pack_template. It does not mention prerequisites, exclusions, or typical scenarios, leaving the agent to infer usage solely from the tool name.

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