Snowflake Create Warehouse

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=true, so the write nature is covered. The description adds nothing beyond that: no mention of IF NOT EXISTS behavior, cost implications of auto-suspend/auto-resume, size constraints, or required privileges for a warehouse-creation 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?

One front-loaded sentence with zero waste, but the brevity borders on under-specification rather than disciplined conciseness. It is efficiently structured but does almost no work.

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?

An output schema exists so return values need no explanation, but for a six-parameter, 0%-documented mutation tool the description is far too thin. It omits parameter meaning, privilege requirements, and cost/behavioral context that an agent needs before creating a warehouse.

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% across six parameters, and the description names none of them. warehouse_size, auto_suspend, auto_resume, if_not_exists, and comment are left entirely unexplained, so an agent gets no help on what values are valid or what defaults mean.

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 states a specific verb (Create) and resource (virtual warehouse) in Snowflake, which puts it clearly in the create-family alongside create_database/create_schema. It does not explicitly differentiate itself from those siblings, but the resource noun makes selection unambiguous in practice.

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 create a warehouse versus resizing an existing one (snowflake_resize_warehouse) or how it relates to siblings like snowflake_create_schema. Usage is only implied by the tool name.

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