Create/Update Project (Dalux)

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

The description adds behavioral context beyond annotations, such as license consumption and permission requirements. Annotations already indicate mutability (readOnlyHint=false), and the description complements them without contradiction.

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?

Two sentences, front-loaded with critical information (create vs update, default config, adminEmail, license warning). Every sentence serves a purpose with no excess.

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?

Coverage is good given the tool's dual action and license implications. The description covers purpose, requirements, and a warning. It lacks explicit return value info, but this is standard for mutation tools.

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 80%, so the schema carries most of the parameter documentation. The description adds minimal extra meaning beyond the schema (e.g., adminEmail required for create, default config). Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 verb ('Create' or 'update'), the resource ('Dalux project'), and key details like the default configuration and adminEmail requirement. It effectively distinguishes the tool from siblings such as dalux_get_project or dalux_list_projects.

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 provides clear context: it warns about license consumption and the need for write access. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use the tool or list alternatives, which would improve decision-making.

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