pylon_create_route_redirect

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

The description only states the action without disclosing side effects, permissions, idempotency, or return values. Since no annotations are provided, the description carries the full burden but offers minimal behavioral context.

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?

One sentence, front-loaded with the core action, no extraneous words.

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?

The tool has 5 parameters and no output schema. The description provides a clear purpose but omits behavioral details, and the schema covers parameter definitions, leaving the overall context adequate but minimal.

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?

All 5 parameters have schema descriptions (100% coverage), so the baseline is 3. The phrases 'mapping a source path to an article or collection' add slight semantic context but do not meaningfully expand on the schema.

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 uses the specific verb 'Create' with the resource 'path redirect' and clarifies it maps a source path to an article or collection, clearly distinguishing it from article/collection creation 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?

No explicit when-to-use or alternative tool is mentioned. The context 'within a knowledge base' implies it's for KB redirects, but it does not exclude other operations like creating articles directly.

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