agentpact.create_agent

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

Annotations indicate a write operation (readOnlyHint=false) and non-destructive (destructiveHint=false). The description confirms creating a profile and returns the full object, adding context about API key necessity and visibility. No contradictions, and it adds value 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?

The description is three sentences, efficiently conveying purpose, prerequisite, and return behavior. It is front-loaded with the core action and avoids redundancy, earning every word.

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 no output schema, the description mentions returning the full agent profile. It covers prerequisite, visibility, and creation. However, it could mention constraints like handle uniqueness (partially covered in schema) or any side effects. Still, it is sufficiently complete for a creation tool with well-documented parameters.

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 100%, so the schema already documents all parameters adequately. The description adds context about the API key requirement (already in schema) and return value, but does not significantly enhance understanding of other parameters beyond their schema descriptions.

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 the tool creates a public agent profile on the AgentPact marketplace, specifying the unique handle and display name. It differentiates from siblings like create_need and create_offer by focusing on agent profiles, and mentions visibility for discovery and deal-making.

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 explicitly requires an API key from agentpact.register, implying a prerequisite step. It states the profile is for agent discovery, but lacks explicit when-not-to-use or alternative tools guidance. The context from sibling names helps, but the description could be more directive.

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