app_store_versions__create

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

Annotations already indicate readOnly=false, idempotent=false, destructive=true. The description adds only the workflow step and 'RELEASE-level write,' which is vague. It does not explain side effects, prerequisites, or the post-creation state, so transparency is limited beyond the 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 concise, front-loaded with the action, and includes the endpoint and a useful workflow hint. Every element earns its place without unnecessary padding.

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 create operation with a complex nested body, the description is minimal. It does not explain what happens after creation (e.g., draft state), the need for an existing app relationship, or the meaning of destructiveHint=true and 'RELEASE-level write.' While the schema covers required fields, a more complete description would improve operational context.

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 only parameter 'body' is described as 'JSON:API request body (Apple schema: AppStoreVersionCreateRequest),' so schema coverage is 100%. The description adds no specific meaning to the required fields (versionString, platform, relationships) beyond what the schema already provides. 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 clearly states the action: 'Create a new App Store version.' It also provides workflow context ('Do this before attaching a build and submitting for review') and an explicit endpoint reference. This differentiates it from sibling tools like update/delete or build-related 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 tells when to use it ('before attaching a build and submitting for review'), which is helpful for sequencing. It does not explicitly name alternative tools, but the workflow guidance effectively implies this is for initial creation, not updates. It lacks explicit exclusions.

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