TDQS

B3.1/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=true, and idempotentHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds the license requirement, which is genuine context beyond the annotations, but says nothing about name uniqueness, what a project contains, or what happens on creation failure.

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 short sentences with the action first and the constraint second; no padding. The bracketed tags are compact metadata rather than noise.

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?

For a mutating creation tool with zero schema documentation, no output schema, and an opaque `site` parameter, the definition is too thin to call reliably. It should at minimum define the two required inputs and clarify what a created project looks like.

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?

Schema description coverage is 0% across both required parameters, so the description must carry the burden and it does not. The `site` parameter in particular is ambiguous — whether it expects a site ID, slug, or URL is entirely undocumented, which risks a failed call.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ("Create a new project") plus an enterprise-only scope marker. It is clear what the tool does, but it does not differentiate itself from the several other create_project siblings in the catalog (coolify, openpanel), leaving the agent to rely on the n8n prefix alone.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

Provides a real prerequisite ("Requires n8n Enterprise/Pro license"), which is useful gating information. However, it gives no guidance on when to choose this over other project-creation tools or what to do if the license check fails.

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