create_database

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 and delivers nothing. It does not say whether the operation is idempotent, what permissions are required, whether an existing database of the same name errors or is silently reused, or what the response contains.

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?

Two words is not conciseness but under-specification; the description is too sparse to be useful rather than economically worded. Nothing is front-loaded because there is nothing to front-load.

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 two-required-parameter creation tool with a nested object, no annotations, and no output schema, the description is completely inadequate. An agent has no basis to construct a correct call from it.

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 0% for two required parameters, one of which is an undescribed nested object ('db') and the other an unenumerated string ('type'). The description does not compensate at all, leaving an agent unable to know what 'type' values are valid or what shape 'db' must take.

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 database' is a verbatim restatement of the tool name create_database, adding no information an agent doesn't already have from the name. It names a resource but offers no scope, no distinguishing detail from siblings like list_databases or delete_database, and no indication of what is being created.

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 guidance on when to use this tool versus the many database-related siblings (list_databases, get_database, delete_database, mysql_* tools). No prerequisites, no exclusions, no alternatives are mentioned.

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