zabbix_regex_create

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

The description does not disclose any behavioral traits such as side effects, permissions required, idempotency, or rate limits. With no annotations, the description carries full burden but only states the method name. It does not mention whether the operation is destructive or requires authentication.

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 sentence, which is concise, but it is under-specified. It does not earn its place as it provides no useful information beyond the tool's name. Overly brief to the point of being unhelpful.

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 complexity of creating a regex object in Zabbix and the existence of an output schema, the description is incomplete. It lacks any context on return values, required fields, or behavior. Sibling tools are similarly terse, but this does not excuse the lack of detail.

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 one parameter 'params' with 0% description coverage, and the description adds no information about it. The agent gets no help understanding what values are expected or how to structure the object. This is critically insufficient.

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 'Zabbix API regex.create method' essentially restates the tool name 'zabbix_regex_create' without adding clarity about what a regex is or the purpose of creation. It is a tautology and fails to convey the specific function beyond the name.

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?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like zabbix_regex_update or zabbix_regex_get. There is no context on prerequisites, when not to use it, or differentiation from siblings.

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