createDatabase

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states that a database is created, and provides no information about side effects, permissions, synchronous/asynchronous behavior, or what is returned. This is insufficient for a mutating operation.

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?

Two short sentences deliver the essential purpose and one key usage detail without any wasted words. The structure is appropriate for the tool's simplicity.

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?

The description is far from complete for a create operation with 3 required parameters. It lacks guidance on the other two params, prerequisites, and consequences. The output schema presumably documents return values, but the description alone leaves too many gaps.

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 0%, leaving the description responsible for explaining parameters. It explains image_id (pointing to listAvailableDatabaseTypes), but gives no meaning for account_handle or database_handle, which are required and otherwise undocumented.

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 action ('Create a new database') with the exact resource, and it distinguishes itself from sibling tools like deleteDatabase and listDatabases. The additional hint about image_id adds context that makes the purpose unambiguous.

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 explicitly explains how to obtain the image_id (via listAvailableDatabaseTypes), which is essential usage context. It does not explicitly state when to use this tool over alternatives, but the 'create' verb and resource make that implicit.

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