betadrop_token_create

Create a CLI token with custom permissions and expiration to secure API access. The plaintext token displays once, so copy it immediately to avoid regeneration.

Instructions

Create a new CLI token. The plaintext token is shown exactly once — copy it immediately.

A3.8/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the burden of behavioral disclosure. It effectively warns that 'the plaintext token is shown exactly once — copy it immediately,' which is a critical side-effect that affects how the agent must handle the output. However, it does not mention authentication requirements or other potential consequences of creation, though the one-time display is the most important behavior.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is extremely concise—two short sentences. The primary action is front-loaded, and the critical warning about the token being shown once immediately follows. Every word earns its place, with no filler.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the low complexity (3 simple params, 100% schema coverage) and no output schema, the description adequately covers the essential return behavior by warning that the plaintext token appears exactly once. It is slightly incomplete because it doesn't specify the exact response shape or mention that authentication is required, but the most important operational detail is present.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The input schema provides 100% coverage, with clear descriptions for all three parameters (name, abilities, expiresInDays). The description adds no additional parameter semantics beyond the schema, so the baseline of 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states a specific verb and resource: 'Create a new CLI token.' This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like betadrop_token_list and betadrop_token_delete, which involve different operations on tokens.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention that betadrop_token_list is for viewing existing tokens or that betadrop_token_delete is for removing them, nor does it indicate prerequisites such as being logged in. The description only states the action, leaving usage context unaddressed.

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