create_print_job

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

Annotations already indicate destructiveHint=true, so the tool is expected to have side effects. The description confirms the destructive nature but does not elaborate on what exactly is destroyed (e.g., printer queue capacity) or any irreversible consequences. No contradiction; annotations are aligned.

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 two sentences, concise and front-loaded. First sentence states the purpose, second adds return info. No superfluous text.

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 tool has 4 parameters (1 nested), no output schema, and annotations with destructiveHint, the description covers basic purpose and result but lacks details such as expected side effects, error conditions (e.g., printer offline), or how the URL must be accessible. This is a moderate gap for a creation tool.

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 parameter details are already documented. The description adds no further meaning beyond the schema, but given high coverage, the baseline is 3. The description slightly elevates by noting that 'printOption' is optional, matching the schema. However, it does not explain the nested object structure. Still, the schema suffices.

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 the tool creates a new print job, specifies the action (sends document URL to printer), and identifies the resource (print job) and return value (id and status). It distinguishes from siblings like get_print_job (retrieve) and list_print_jobs (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?

The description implies when to use (to create a print job) but provides no guidance on when not to use it or alternatives among siblings. No mention of prerequisites like printer existence or URL accessibility.

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