dataset_version_create

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

Annotations indicate readOnlyHint=false (mutation), which aligns with the description's 'Create'. The description explicitly mentions creating a 'frozen snapshot', implying immutability but not elaborating on effects. No contradictions, but lacks additional behavioral context like permission requirements or side effects.

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 a single sentence, efficient but not structured. It conveys the core purpose without fluff, but could benefit from additional context or bullet points. The conciseness is adequate, but the lack of structure limits usefulness.

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?

Given the tool has no output schema and 2 parameters (1 required), the description is incomplete. It does not explain what 'frozen' means, the result of the operation, or how versions relate. More context is needed for an agent to use this 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?

Schema description coverage is 50%, but the description provides no parameter details. The 'dataset' parameter is described in the schema, but 'description' lacks explanation. The tool description does not add meaning beyond the schema, leaving ambiguity about the 'description' field's role.

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 the tool creates a frozen dataset version snapshot, specifying the verb 'Create' and the resource 'frozen dataset version snapshot'. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like datasets_create (creates a dataset) and dataset_export (exports data). However, the term 'frozen' could be elaborated.

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?

No usage guidelines are provided. There is no indication of when to use this tool versus alternatives like dataset_export or datasets_create. Missing context such as prerequisites (e.g., dataset must exist) or typical workflows.

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