qui_create_torznab_indexer

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

With no annotations, the description must disclose side effects and safety profile, but it only mentions request construction. It does not state that this operation creates a resource, what data is affected, or whether it is destructive. The agent is left unaware of the tool's actual behavior.

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?

A single, clear sentence that directly explains the calling convention. No wasted words or redundancy.

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?

For a creation operation with no schema details and no annotations, the description is incomplete. It fails to mention required fields, the meaning of the operation, or any behavioral outcomes. The output schema is said to exist but is not provided, so the description needs to carry more context.

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 is a generic 'arguments' object with no specific properties (0% coverage), so the description's instruction to put path variables in arguments, query values in arguments.params, and body in arguments.body is the only guidance for parameter construction. This adds crucial structure, though it omits domain-specific fields like indexer name or URL.

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 identifies the exact endpoint (POST /torznab/indexers/) which in RESTful terms indicates creating an indexer, and the tool name confirms 'create'. It is specific about the resource and action, though it lacks a natural-language statement like 'Creates a new Torznab indexer' that would make it immediately obvious.

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 gives no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., update, delete, test). It only explains how to structure the HTTP call, not the semantic use case.

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