combell_accounts_create

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

The description goes well beyond the annotations by disclosing a meaningful side effect: ordering a product and potentially incurring costs. It also explains that provisioning is asynchronous and that the result contains a provisioning job id. These behavioral details are crucial and not available elsewhere.

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 three short sentences with no filler. It front-loads the core purpose, then delivers the most important caveats: side-effect cost and background provisioning. Every sentence earns its place.

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 create operation with a complete input schematons, the description covers the essential operational context: the side effect, async provisioning, and how to track progress. The return format is adequately implied by mentioning the provisioning job id, and there is no output schema to explain.

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 baseline is 3. The description does not add parameter-level meaning beyond what the schema provides, but it does not need to because each parameter already has a clear description.

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 states a specific verb and resource: 'Create a new account for a servicepack.' It clearly distinguishes this from sibling tools like combell_accounts_list and combell_accounts_get by describing the creation action, so an agent can tell it apart without opening the schema.

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 about when to use the tool, notably warning that it orders a product and may incur costs animation. It also directs the agent to poll combell_provisioning_jobs_get afterward. It does not explicitly name exclusion or alternative conditions, but no sibling tool provides the same create-account behavior.

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