create_dao

Create a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) for collaborative development. Broadcast an on-chain transaction with required name and description to receive the new DAO ID.

Instructions

Use this when you need to create a new DAO for collaborative development. Signs and broadcasts an on-chain transaction. Returns the new DAO ID. Requires 'name' and 'description'. Optional: 'avatar_url', 'location', 'website', 'members' (defaults to creator with weight 1), 'voting_period' (default '2' hours), 'percentage' (default '0.50' = 50%). See also: set_active_dao.

Behavior3/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description shoulders the burden. It mentions signing and broadcasting an on-chain transaction and returning the new DAO ID, but does not disclose potential side effects like gas costs or failure modes.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is three sentences, front-loaded with the tool's purpose, and includes a sibling reference. No unnecessary words.

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

Completeness4/5

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

Given 9 parameters, no annotations, and no output schema, the description covers required and key optional parameters, mentions the return value, and includes a sibling reference. Missing details on 'config' and potential side effects, but adequate for a creation tool.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is 0%, and the description adds meaning by listing required and optional parameters with defaults for members, voting_period, and percentage. However, it omits explanation for the 'config' parameter.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states the verb 'create' and resource 'DAO', and distinguishes it from siblings like 'get_dao' and 'set_active_dao'. It also notes it is an on-chain transaction, setting it apart.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

The description explicitly states when to use it ('when you need to create a new DAO') and references a sibling tool 'set_active_dao'. However, it lacks explicit when-not-to-use guidance.

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