qui_create_client_api_key

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, but it only mentions the HTTP method and argument structure. It does not disclose side effects, authentication requirements, permission needs, rate limits, or response behavior, leaving the agent completely in the dark about the tool's impacts.

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, front-loaded sentence that efficiently conveys the HTTP method, endpoint, and argument passing convention. It contains no redundant information and is appropriately sized for the minimal schema.

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 provides only the REST call pattern. It does not explain what a client API key is, what the request body should contain, or what the response will be. Despite having an output schema available, the description remains incomplete for an agent to construct a valid request without external knowledge.

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?

The schema defines only an 'arguments' object with no specific properties (0% coverage), so the description must compensate. It does explain the general structure (path variables at top level, query in arguments.params, body in arguments.body), but it fails to enumerate the actual path variables, query parameters, or required body fields for creating a client API key, leaving critical parameters unspecified.

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 explicitly identifies the tool as calling the POST /client-api-keys/ endpoint, which clearly indicates a create operation. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like qui_list_client_api_keys and qui_delete_client_api_key, which have different verbs and resources.

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 offers no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as qui_create_api_key (for regular API keys). It does not state prerequisites, use cases, or exclusions, leaving the agent without context on when this specific tool is appropriate.

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