vast42_create_resource

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

There are no annotations, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. 'Create a VAST 4.2 resource' only states the verb and gives no details about side effects, required permissions, idempotency, failure modes, or return behavior.

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 single sentence is short but does not earn its place because it simply repeats the tool name. It is under-specified rather than appropriately concise, offering no useful information to the agent.

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 create operation with no annotations and no output schema, this description is severely incomplete. It does not define what a VAST 4.2 resource is, enumerate valid type values, explain the result, or provide any operational context, leaving the agent unable to use the tool correctly.

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 schema covers 100% of parameters with descriptions 'Resource name' and 'Resource type', so the baseline is 3. However, the description adds no additional semantics beyond these highly generic labels, and valid values for 'type' remain completely unspecified.

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 'Create a VAST 4.2 resource' merely restates the tool name 'vast42_create_resource' with 'VAST 4.2' expanded. It fails to specify what a 'resource' is in this context or how it differs from the many other vast42_create_* sibling tools, making it essentially a tautology.

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. With numerous create_* sibling tools (e.g., vast42_create_creative, vast42_create_ad), there is no context, prerequisites, or exclusions to help the agent choose correctly.

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