Create Page

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

The annotations already flag the tool as potentially destructive, but the description adds no behavioral details beyond 'create a new wiki page.' It does not explain what destructive behavior might occur, any side effects, permissions needed, or whether creating may overwrite or conflict with existing pages.

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 wasted words. Every part contributes directly to identifying the operation and the resource involved.

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 straightforward create operation with a fully documented parameter schema and annotations, this is minimally adequate. However, the absence of an output schema, lack of explicit usage alternatives, and unexplained destructive hint leave room for a more complete description.

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 all five parameters already have meaningful descriptions. The tool description itself adds no parameter-specific meaning, so the baseline score of 3 is appropriate because the schema does the heavy lifting.

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 action ('Create'), the resource ('new wiki page'), and the scope ('in a course'), making it obvious what the tool does. It also distinguishes it naturally from sibling tools like update_page, delete_page, and get_page without being tautological.

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 intended use—creating a new page in a course—is implied by the name and description, but the description does not explicitly explain when to prefer this tool over update_page or other page-related alternatives. There is no when/when-not guidance or mention of prerequisites.

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