Behavior2/5

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

The word 'Preview' hints at a non-destructive operation, but the description does not explicitly state that no actual key is created, what the side effects are, or what the return value represents. With no annotations, the description carries full burden and fails to disclose key behavioral traits.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness2/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is extremely short (4 words). While it is concise, it is under-specified—it lacks essential details that should be present for a 5-parameter tool. Every sentence should earn its place, but this one fails to add value beyond the tool name.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness1/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the complexity (5 parameters, no output schema, no annotations), the description is severely incomplete. It does not explain the tool's behavior, output, or parameter usage, leaving the agent with insufficient information to use the tool correctly.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters1/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description provides no information about parameters (oid, description, tags, use_public_ca, token_ttl_seconds). The agent must infer their meanings from names alone, which is insufficient.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose3/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states the verb 'Preview creating' and resource 'installation key', which is clear in general purpose. However, it does not differentiate from sibling preview tools (e.g., lc_preview_delete_installation_key) or explain what 'preview' specifically entails (simulation, validation, etc.). It is not a tautology but lacks specificity.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like actual creation (if exists) or other preview tools. No mention of prerequisites or context.

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