Create Page from Template

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

The description adds behavioral context beyond the annotations, such as the Cloud-only restriction, the fact that it fetches the template and uses storage-format content, and that the page is editable afterwards. It doesn't disclose permission requirements or side effects, but given the straightforward create operation and the destructiveHint=false annotation, this is adequate.

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?

Three sentences, each with a clear purpose: summary, scope, and behavior/follow-up. No redundant wording. The description is short and front-loaded.

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?

The tool has a well-documented schema and an output schema, so the description doesn't need to detail return values. It covers the operation's scope (Cloud-only), behavior, and a suggested next step. It doesn't cover error conditions or prerequisites, but for a simple create operation this is sufficient.

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?

The schema already documents all parameters with 100% coverage, so the description doesn't need to add parameter details. It does provide a slight nuance by saying it fetches the named template, which aligns with template_id. This meets the baseline but doesn't significantly enhance 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 verb (create), resource (page), and the key distinction from siblings (pre-populated from a template). It also notes Cloud-only availability, which differentiates from other Confluence operations. This is a specific and unambiguous definition.

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 gives context: use this to create a Cloud page from a template, and the result can be edited via confluence_update_page. However, it doesn't explicitly mention when to use this over confluence_create_page or when not to use it, so it lacks explicit exclusion or alternative.

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