calmesh_create_booking

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the burden. It discloses required scope and return values but omits failure behavior (e.g., unavailable slot), side effects, or whether the booking is temporary. The schema adds some behavioral context ('Must be an available slot') but the description itself is limited.

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 extremely concise: two sentences cover action, return values, and scope. No filler or redundancy, and the key information is front-loaded.

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 no output schema and no annotations, the description provides essential facts: action, returns, and scope. However, it lacks error handling guidance, prerequisites like checking availability first, and usage context relative to sibling tools. It is adequate but not complete for a booking creation tool.

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 100%, so parameters are already well documented. The description adds minimal parameter-specific meaning beyond the schema, only mentioning that the tool returns booking ID/status/confirmed time and requires scope, which is not directly param-related. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 action ('Create a new booking on a booking page') and indicates return values (booking ID, status, confirmed time), which clearly conveys the tool's purpose. It doesn't differentiate from siblings like calmesh_create_event or calmesh_create_poll, but the focus on 'booking page' provides enough context.

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?

It implies usage by describing the creation action and lists a prerequisite ('book' scope), but lacks explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, and does not mention related tools like calmesh_check_availability or calmesh_get_slots. It gives some context but no exclusions or alternatives.

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