sigma_create_workbook

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

The description adds no behavioral context beyond what annotations already provide. Annotations indicate readOnlyHint=false, so the mutation is expected, but the description does not disclose any side effects, permissions, or additional behaviors beyond the basic creation.

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 with no unnecessary words. It is concise and front-loaded, conveying the core function immediately without wasted text.

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?

Given the schema has 3 parameters with zero documentation and there is an output schema, the description is too sparse. It does not explain the return value (though output schema exists), nor does it cover the 'description' parameter. The tool is simple, but the description leaves gaps about the creation context and parameters.

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%, so the description should compensate by explaining parameters. It only hints at 'folder' (likely folder_id) but does not clarify the meaning of 'name' or 'description', nor does it mention that folder_id is required. The description fails to illuminate any parameter specifics.

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 (workbook), and the qualifier (empty) and location (in a folder). It distinguishes from sibling tools like sigma_create_workbook_from_template by specifying 'empty', and from duplicate by indicating a new creation.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention any exclusions or alternative tools, leaving the decision to the agent based solely on the tool name and purpose.

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