sigma_create_tag

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

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false, so the safe write nature is known. The description adds context about the API requirement for color and a default, but does not disclose behaviors beyond annotations, such as behavior on duplicate tag names or whether creation is idempotent.

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 and front-loaded with the action. The parameter details are inline but could benefit from a more structured layout. Every sentence contributes value with no fluff, though the formatting is slightly informal.

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 simple create operation with an output schema and clear annotations, the description is mostly complete. It explains the purpose, one key parameter, and a default. It does not cover potential duplicate handling or mention related tags, but overall it is sufficient for a basic tool.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description compensates partially by explaining the 'color' parameter with allowed values and default. However, the 'name' parameter is not explicitly described; while implied by 'Create a new tag', its format or constraints are not stated, leaving room for confusion.

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 'Create a new tag' with a specific verb and resource, and adds a use case ('used for version promotion like Production, Staging') that distinguishes it from sibling tools like sigma_list_tags and sigma_delete_tag.

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?

It gives an implied use case (version promotion) but does not explicitly mention when to use this tool versus alternatives such as sigma_list_tags for finding existing tags or sigma_tag_workbook for applying a tag. No exclusions or alternative tool references are provided.

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