snowflake_create_warehouse

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full responsibility for disclosing behavioral traits. It only states 'Create a new virtual warehouse', which is essentially a restatement of the tool name. It does not mention side effects (permanent creation), required privileges, or failure conditions (e.g., existence conflicts), leaving the agent with no behavioral context beyond the obvious mutation.

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, front-loaded sentence with no fluff. It is appropriately concise, but its brevity contributes to incompleteness, which is penalized in other dimensions. For pure conciseness, it earns a high score because every word earns its place.

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 a create operation with 6 parameters, no annotations, no output schema explanation, and 0% schema parameter coverage, the description is drastically incomplete. An agent would have no idea how to correctly set values like warehouse_size (valid options), what auto_resume/auto_suspend do, or what the if_not_exists flag means. The description fails to provide essential context for safe and correct invocation.

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?

The schema has 0% description coverage, and the description adds no parameter meaning. The agent is left to infer semantics solely from parameter names (warehouse_name, warehouse_size, auto_resume, etc.) with no explanation of valid values, constraints, or relationships. The description does nothing to compensate for the schema's lack of documentation.

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' and the resource 'virtual warehouse' and specifies the platform 'Snowflake'. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like list/describe/drop/resume/suspend/resize warehouse through the explicit verb.

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 no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor any exclusions or prerequisites. There is no mention of required permissions, how it differs from other warehouse operations, or when to prefer one of the many sibling warehouse tools.

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