hosting_createWebsiteV1

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It discloses that creation takes a few minutes and that subsequent websites automatically use the same datacenter. However, it does not mention error conditions, authentication requirements, or the destructive nature (resource creation). Some behavioral traits are missing.

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 5 sentences, well-structured, and front-loaded with the main purpose. No redundant information. Could be slightly more concise, but overall effective.

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?

No output schema exists, so description should cover return values. It does not mention what the tool returns (e.g., website ID or success status). While it covers usage, timing, and parameter rules, the lack of return information is a gap. Adequate but not complete.

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?

Input schema has 100% parameter description coverage, so baseline is 3. The description adds value by clarifying the conditional requirement for datacenter_code (first website vs. subsequent), which is not fully captured in the schema. This improves semantic understanding beyond the schema alone.

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 'Create a new website for the authenticated client' and specifies the key inputs (domain, order ID). It effectively distinguishes this tool from sibling tools like hosting_listWebsitesV1 or hosting_deployJsApplication.

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 explicit guidance: 'Provide the domain name and associated order ID to create a new website.' It also explains the conditional requirement for datacenter_code and suggests checking the websites list endpoint for completion. No explicit alternatives or when-not-to-use, but sufficient for basic usage.

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