nominations_create_instance

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden, yet it discloses nothing about authentication, side effects, idempotency, or what a successful creation returns. Only the POST verb hints that this is a write operation, which is minimal disclosure for a mutation tool.

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, but it redundantly repeats the same route twice ('POST /v1/nominations (POST /v1/nominations)') and is under-specified rather than genuinely concise. The schema pointer is the only substantive content.

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?

For a nested-object create tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description defers almost entirely to an external OpenAPI document the agent may not have. It lacks any explanation of the request semantics or expected outcome.

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% and there is a single body parameter, so the baseline is 3. The description points to components.schemas.NominationCreateRequest, which is useful but merely redirects to an external document rather than adding envelope or field meaning.

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 gives the HTTP route 'POST /v1/nominations', from which an agent can infer creation of a nomination, and the verb implicitly distinguishes it from the get/update/delete nomination siblings. However it never states in words what a nomination is or what creating one accomplishes, so the purpose is only vaguely conveyed.

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?

There is no when-to-use guidance, no prerequisites, and no mention of the sibling tools (nominations_get_collection, nominations_update_instance, nominations_delete_instance). The agent gets no routing information beyond the HTTP verb.

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