create_folder_from_template

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must fully convey behavioral traits. It states the tool creates a folder and returns it, and mentions what is reproduced. However, it does not disclose potential failures (e.g., missing template or space), permissions needed, or side effects beyond creation. Moderate disclosure.

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 consists of two concise sentences that front-load the purpose and return value. Every word adds value; no filler or redundancy.

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 tool's moderate complexity (4 parameters, one optional object, no output schema), the description covers the core behavior and return. It does not explain error cases or optional behavior of the 'options' parameter beyond the schema, but is largely adequate for a creation tool.

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 100%, so the schema already explains all four parameters. The description adds minor context (e.g., 'reproducing the template's Lists...') but does not significantly enhance understanding of individual parameters like space_id or template_id beyond the schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 a specific verb ('Create'), names the resource ('a Folder in a Space from a Folder template'), and explains the outcome ('reproducing the template's Lists, statuses and structure. Returns the created Folder.'). It clearly distinguishes from sibling tools like create_folder (no template) and create_list_from_template_in_folder (list not folder).

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 provides a single usage hint ('Use to spin up a standardized project layout'), but lacks explicit guidance on when not to use or comparisons to alternatives such as create_folder or create_list_from_template_in_folder. The context is implied but not fully directive.

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