pcloud_create_public_link

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It mentions the tool 'creates' a 'public' link, implying a mutation that exposes content publicly, but it does not explain consequences, permissions required, link persistence, or reversibility. This is a significant gap 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 a single, concise sentence with no redundant words. It is front-loaded with the main action and object. While it is underspecified, the structure itself is efficient and appropriate for the minimal content provided.

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?

This is a mutation tool with no output schema and no annotations. The description does not explain what the tool returns, how the link behaves, whether it is permanent, or any side effects. Given the simple schema, the description is insufficient for an agent to fully understand the tool's impact and expected output.

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 input schema covers both parameters with descriptions (100% coverage), including the 'type' enum and default. The description's mention of 'file or folder' merely mirrors the 'type' parameter and adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema already provides, so it stays at the baseline.

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) and resource (public sharing link for a file or folder). It is specific enough to understand the tool's purpose, but it does not distinguish this from the sibling tool 'pcloud_get_file_link', which also deals with links. Thus it is clear but lacks sibling differentiation.

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 like pcloud_get_file_link, nor does it mention any prerequisites or exclusions. There is no implied usage context beyond the basic action, so it offers minimal decision support.

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