Create KiCad Document

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the behavioral burden. It discloses an important non-destructive behavior ('without overwriting files'), but does not mention success/error responses, permission requirements, or whether parent directories are created. This is useful but incomplete for a creation tool.

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 redundancy. The second sentence is a useful pointer to external instructions and does not detract from the clarity.

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 no output schema and no annotations, the description adequately explains the tool's primary purpose and a key behavioral guarantee. However, it lacks details about return values, error conditions, or post-creation behavior. The input schema is detailed, but the overall package is only partially complete.

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 top-level parameter 'doc' has no schema description (0% coverage), so the description should compensate. It lists the supported doc types, but does not explain the structure of the 'doc' object or the special parent_path requirement for hierarchical pages. The nested schema does document these, but the description adds only partial value.

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') with a precise resource list ('KiCad project, schematic, hierarchical page, or empty PCB') and a key constraint ('without overwriting files'). This distinguishes it from sibling tools focused on PCB layout or extraction.

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 clear context for when to use the tool (creating various KiCad document types) and a safety constraint (no overwriting). It does not explicitly mention alternatives or when not to use it, but the context is sufficient for an agent to decide.

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