create_scoped_app

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

Annotations already indicate a write operation (readOnlyHint=false). The description adds the WRITE_ENABLED requirement but does not elaborate on consequences like error handling or side effects. Minimal additional disclosure beyond annotations.

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?

Two sentences, front-loaded with the purpose. No unnecessary words. Efficient and well-structured.

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?

Adequate for a create tool with 8 parameters and no output schema. Mentions a key prerequisite and constraint, but does not describe return values, error cases, or what happens upon successful creation. Missing some contextual completeness given the tool's complexity.

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 the baseline is 3. The description adds a slight refinement for the scope parameter (pattern x_<vendor>_<appname>), but otherwise does not explain parameter behavior beyond what the schema provides.

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?

Clearly states 'Create a new scoped application in App Studio', specifying the action, resource, and context. Distinguishes from siblings like update_scoped_app and list_scoped_apps.

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?

Provides a prerequisite (WRITE_ENABLED=true) and a constraint (scope prefix must be unique and follow pattern), offering good usage context. Does not explicitly state when not to use or list alternatives, but the sibling tools imply the distinction.

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