create_release

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

Discloses that the tool 'Signs and broadcasts an on-chain transaction' and 'Returns the release ID'. No annotations provided, so the description carries the full burden; it is mostly adequate but could mention permissions or error conditions.

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 concise (three sentences), front-loaded with the main purpose, and no superfluous information.

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?

Covers prerequisites, required and optional parameters, return value, and related tools. Missing details on potential errors or transaction cost, but reasonable given no output schema.

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?

Despite 100% schema coverage, the description adds value by noting defaults for 'target' (defaults to default branch) and 'provider' (default address), enhancing understanding beyond 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 clearly states 'publish a release for a tagged version' with a specific verb and resource. It also distinguishes from sibling tools like list_releases and list_tags.

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?

Explicitly states prerequisite ('tag must already exist on the remote') and required parameters. Provides alternatives by mentioning 'See also: list_releases, list_tags'.

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