create_status_page_incident

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

No annotations are provided, and the description does not disclose behavioral traits such as whether incidents are automatically published, whether subscribers are notified by default, or any permissions required. The schema includes fields like notifySubscribers, but the description omits these details.

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 short and lists required/optional fields in a structured manner. However, it sacrifices accuracy and completeness for brevity, which diminishes its value.

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 with nested objects and many optional fields, the description is incomplete. It fails to mention the required page_id parameter and misstates the required status of 'body'. The existence of an output schema partially compensates, but the input description is insufficient.

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 description incorrectly states that 'body' is optional, while the schema requires it. It also omits the required top-level parameter 'page_id' entirely. Many optional parameters (scheduled, scheduledFor, etc.) are not mentioned. The description contradicts the schema, reducing its helpfulness.

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 the action and resource: 'Create an incident on a status page.' It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'create_incident' (generic) and other status page tools.

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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as 'create_incident' or 'create_status_page_component'. It does not mention any prerequisites or when not to use it.

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