create_version

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only states 'Create' without mentioning return values, side effects, permissions, or error conditions. For a creation tool, missing output and safety info is a gap.

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 moderately concise with a short paragraph and a bullet list. It is front-loaded with the purpose, and each sentence provides value. Could be more compact, but no significant waste.

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?

With 6 parameters, 100% schema coverage, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is adequate but incomplete. It lacks information about the return value, error handling, or behavioral constraints, which are important for a creation tool.

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 coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents all 6 parameters. The description adds minimal value by grouping parameters (e.g., 'Set version owners and dates'), but does not provide additional semantic context beyond what the schema offers.

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 'Create a new version in a Yunxiao Project' and lists specific use cases like 'Create a new release version' and 'Plan project milestones'. This distinguishes it from siblings like 'delete_version' and 'update_version'.

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 includes explicit use cases that indicate when to use the tool (e.g., creating release versions, planning milestones). However, it does not explicitly state when not to use it or mention alternatives, though the context from siblings is clear.

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