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

With no annotations provided, the description carries full disclosure burden. It mentions auto-linking, usage tracking, and status management, which are important behavioral traits, but remains vague about specific side effects like whether existing notes are modified or whether permissions are required. This provides moderate transparency without contradicting any annotations.

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 compact at two sentences and front-loads the core purpose. However, the second sentence partially restates the first, adding some redundancy. It is still concise and easy to parse, earning a strong score.

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 moderate complexity (5 parameters, no output schema), the description covers the tool's primary function and key behaviors like auto-linking and lifecycle management. It lacks details on return values or post-creation effects, but the schema covers parameter meanings, so the description is adequate but not exhaustive.

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 the schema already explains all five parameters. The description adds thematic context about tag-based linking and lifecycle management but does not introduce parameter-specific details beyond the schema, matching the baseline for high schema coverage.

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 a specific verb ('Create') and resource ('strategic Zettelkasten note') with unique features like auto-linking and lifecycle management. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools such as createGuideNote by emphasizing Zettelkasten note-specific behavior, making its purpose unambiguous.

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 focuses on what the tool does but provides no explicit guidance on when to use it over alternatives like createGuideNote or createProject. It does not mention exclusions or context where this tool is preferred, leaving the agent to infer usage solely from the 'Zettelkasten' keyword.

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