Create Tag or Task

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

Annotations are all false (readOnly, openWorld, idempotent, destructive), so they provide little insight. The description does disclose the optional 'task actions' (completion, archive, tag-swap), which is useful behavioral context. However, it does not explain the impact of these actions on existing entries, nor does it mention the 'confirm' parameter that might gate destructive or irreversible changes.

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 a single, tightly packed sentence. It front-loads the main purpose and lists the optional actions without extraneous words. Every phrase earns its place, making it highly concise.

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?

Given the nested spec object, three top-level parameters, and no output schema, the description is far from complete. It fails to clarify the distinction between creating a tag vs a task (despite the title saying 'Create Tag or Task'), does not explain the confirm parameter, and leaves the semantics of 'task actions' ambiguous. The tool's potential side effects on entries through swap_tag_ids, mark_complete, and archive_note are not adequately covered.

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%, so the description bears full responsibility. It indirectly hints at global_tag ('local/global') and the task-action booleans (mark_complete, archive_note, swap_tag_ids) via 'completion, archive, or tag-swap,' but it does not explicitly explain bundle_id, spec.name, color, default_tag, task, or confirm. The hints are insufficient to understand the full parameter semantics.

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 the core purpose: 'Create a local/global tag' with optional 'completion, archive, or tag-swap task actions.' This uses a specific verb and resource, and the mention of 'local/global' plus 'task actions' helps distinguish it from sibling create tools like bundled_create_bundle or bundled_create_entry.

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?

The description offers no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. There are no exclusions or context cues, such as 'use this instead of applying an existing tag.' For example, it doesn't clarify when to choose this over bundled_apply_tag or bundled_create_tag variants.

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