appwrite_create_database

Create a new database in Appwrite with customizable ID and name, using auto-generated unique IDs when needed for structured data management.

Instructions

[UNIFIED] Create a new database. Use 'unique()' as database_id to auto-generate a unique ID.

Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full disclosure burden. It explains the unique ID auto-generation behavior, but omits critical mutation context such as permissions required, idempotency guarantees, what happens if the database_id already exists, or return value structure.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Two sentences, front-loaded with the core purpose. The second sentence provides actionable value without verbosity. The leading '[UNIFIED]' tag is structural noise, but otherwise efficient.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Given 0% schema coverage, no annotations, no output schema, and a 4-parameter mutation tool, the description is incomplete. It covers the create action and one parameter trick, but fails to document 3/4 parameters or mutation side-effects expected for a database creation operation.

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

Parameters2/5

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

With 0% schema description coverage across 4 parameters, the description must compensate significantly. It provides crucial semantics for database_id (the 'unique()' special value), but leaves 'site', 'name', and 'enabled' entirely undocumented and mysterious.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description clearly states 'Create a new database' with a specific verb and resource, distinguishing it from sibling tools like appwrite_get_database or appwrite_update_database. The '[UNIFIED]' prefix is noise but doesn't obscure the purpose. It lacks explicit platform mention (Appwrite), though implied by the tool name.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

Provides a specific parameter usage tip ('Use unique() as database_id'), but lacks explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like appwrite_update_database or when not to use it (e.g., if database already exists).

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