sdcloud_create_user

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

No annotations are present, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only states 'Create a new user' without mentioning idempotency, authentication needs, return values, or side effects. This is a bare minimum that fails to inform the agent.

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 with no waste, but it is too brief to convey necessary information. It lacks structure and does not front-load key details.

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?

With no output schema, no annotations, and a single parameter, the description should compensate but fails to explain what constitutes a 'user', the expected body structure, or what 'create' entails. It is insufficient for a 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 coverage is 100% (one parameter described), but the description of the 'body' parameter ('JSON request body matching the target Security Director Cloud schema') adds little beyond the schema. It does not specify required fields or examples, reducing usefulness.

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 'Create a new user' clearly states the verb and resource, and the name 'sdcloud_create_user' reinforces it. Among many sibling create tools, it distinguishes by resource type, but lacks extra context like 'user in Security Director Cloud'.

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 other create tools, prerequisites, or context. The description does not help the agent decide when to invoke this tool.

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