sigma_create_deployment

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

The annotations already indicate this is a write operation (readOnlyHint false), and the description simply restates 'create.' It adds no additional context about side effects, permissions, idempotency, or failure behavior. The openWorldHint suggests potential side effects not disclosed in the description.

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 clear sentence, efficient and front-loaded. It earns high marks for structure, though it may be too terse given the tool's complexity, which is a completeness concern rather than a conciseness issue.

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?

Despite having an output schema, the tool has nested object parameters, an openWorldHint, and no parameter descriptions. A one-sentence description is wholly inadequate for an agent to construct a valid request, as input semantics are entirely unspecified.

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 0%, and the description completely omits any explanation of the 'name' or 'body' parameters. The 'body' parameter is an open object with additionalProperties allowed, yet the agent receives no guidance on its required structure or content, making it nearly impossible to invoke correctly.

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 'Create a deployment policy' clearly states the action (create) and the target resource (deployment policy), distinguishing it from list/get/archive operations. However, it does not clarify what a deployment policy is or how it differs from other create actions like sigma_create_source_swap_policy.

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 offers no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as sigma_list_deployments or sigma_create_source_swap_policy. There is no mention of prerequisites, use cases, or exclusions.

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