dr_create_runbooks

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden. It states that the tool creates runbooks but does not disclose whether the operation requires a Pro license, whether the api_key is required for authentication, what side effects occur, or whether existing runbooks are overwritten. This is thin for a creation tool with no safety annotations.

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 with no wasted words. 'Create' leads, followed by the object and its key characteristic. The '(Pro)' marker is a minor but useful availability signal.

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 absence of annotations and output schema, this one-line description is not enough for an agent to safely and correctly invoke the tool. It lacks guidance on authentication requirements, the meaning of the 'Pro' qualifier, expected output format, and when this tool is preferable to related DR and runbook siblings.

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 100%, so the schema already documents all four parameters. The description adds no extra meaning beyond 'DR runbooks', which is the baseline expected contribution. It does not explain how system_name, scenario, automation_level, or api_key relate to the generated runbook.

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 a specific verb ('Create') and resource ('DR runbooks'), and adds meaningful detail about the output ('detailed', 'step-by-step recovery procedures'). It is distinguishable from many siblings by the 'DR' and 'recovery procedures' focus, though it does not explicitly contrast with closely related tools like dr_generate_plan.

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 implies a use case but provides no explicit guidance on when to choose this tool over alternatives such as dr_generate_plan, alert_generate_runbooks, or uptime_create_runbook. There are no exclusions, prerequisites, or selection conditions, leaving the agent to infer the appropriate context.

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