Add database

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

The description discloses that the database name and login are auto-generated, which is a key behavioral detail not evident from the schema or annotations (which are absent). However, it omits other behaviors such as whether the operation is idempotent, what happens on failure, or any 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 extremely concise: two sentences with no wasted words. The action is front-loaded, and every part adds essential information.

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 simple creation tool with only two parameters and no output schema, the description covers the main purpose and a key behavioral trait. However, it lacks usage guidelines and does not mention what the response looks like or whether errors are common. Given the number of sibling tools, additional context would help an agent decide when to use it.

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% with descriptions for both parameters. The description adds value by explaining that the database name and login are auto-generated (so the user only provides comment and password), which provides context beyond the schema. It does not, however, specify constraints like password format.

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 MySQL database', specifying the verb ('Create') and resource ('MySQL database'). It also notes that the name and login are auto-generated, distinguishing it from sibling tools like database_delete or database_list.

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 guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description does not mention prerequisites, limitations, or scenarios where another tool (e.g., database_dump) would be more appropriate. The agent must infer usage from the name and context.

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