zabbix_map_create

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

No annotations provided, so the description should inform about side effects, permissions, or other behavioral traits. The description only states it's a method call, giving zero transparency into what happens when executed (e.g., map creation effect, idempotency, authorization needs).

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?

While the description is very short, it is not concise in the sense of being efficient—it omits essential information. The single sentence does not earn its place because it adds minimal value beyond the tool name.

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 tool's complexity (creating a Zabbix map) and the lack of schema descriptions, the description is incomplete. It does not explain the purpose of maps, required fields, or the outcome. Although an output schema exists, the description itself is insufficient for correct usage.

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 input schema has one parameter 'params' with 0% description coverage and no required properties. The description adds no meaning to this parameter—it does not explain what fields the 'params' object should contain, what are the required or optional properties, or how to construct valid input. This is a severe gap.

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 the verb 'create' and resource 'map', but it's extremely terse. It provides no details about what a map is in Zabbix context, and does not differentiate from sibling tools like zabbix_map_update. It's minimally clear but lacks specificity.

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 (e.g., zabbix_map_update, zabbix_map_get). No prerequisites, scenarios, or exclusions are mentioned, leaving the agent to infer the usage context.

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