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

No annotations are provided, so the description bears the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It mentions slug auto-generation and root vs. nested creation, but these are largely restatements of schema descriptions. Missing are details on permissions, reversibility, error behavior, or response format, which is a significant gap for a mutating create operation.

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 concise, consisting of two sentences that front-load the primary purpose. Each sentence adds a specific usage or behavioral detail without any filler or redundancy.

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, the description covers the core action, nesting behavior, and slug auto-generation. While it omits permissions and error conditions, the simplicity of the tool and absence of an output schema make this an acceptable level of completeness. A short note on side effects would improve it slightly.

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 60%, with name and project_id lacking descriptions. The description clarifies parent_folder_id and slug behavior, but since those are already documented in the schema, it adds minimal new meaning. Name and project_id are left to implicit understanding, though the overall purpose makes them obvious.

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 opens with 'Create a new folder inside a project,' clearly identifying the action (create) and resource (folder) within a project scope. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like update_folder, delete_folder, and create_document.

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 usage context, explaining how to create at the project root by omitting parent_folder_id and how to nest by passing a folder id. However, it does not explicitly mention alternatives or when not to use this tool, so it misses explicit exclusion guidance.

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