create_webhook

Register a webhook to subscribe to Linear issue, comment, and label events, scoped to a specific team or all public teams.

Instructions

Create a webhook subscription.

url is your HTTPS receiver. resource_types defaults to ["Issue", "Comment", "IssueLabel"] if omitted — adjust as needed (full list at linear.app/developers/webhooks). team_id scopes to one team; all_public_teams=True subscribes to every public team in the org. secret is your HMAC signing secret — Linear adds it to the Linear-Signature header on every event.

Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description discloses important behaviors: default resource_types, scoping, HMAC signing. It doesn't cover rate limits or idempotency, but it adds value beyond the schema.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is succinct, front-loaded with the main purpose, and every sentence adds value. No fluff or repetition.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given 8 parameters with 0% schema coverage and no annotations, the description covers the most critical parameters but leaves label, enabled, and workspace unexplained. The output schema exists, so return values need not be described. Adequate but not fully complete.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 0%. The description adds meaning for 5 of 8 parameters (url, resource_types, team_id, all_public_teams, secret) but omits label, enabled, workspace. Provides defaults and usage hints, partially compensating for missing schema descriptions.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states 'Create a webhook subscription' with a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like get_webhook, list_webhooks, update_webhook, and delete_webhook.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description explains when to use different parameters like team_id vs all_public_teams, and defaults for resource_types. It provides context but lacks explicit when-not-to-use guidance or alternatives.

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