create_document

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It states 'Create' implies a write operation, but doesn't disclose behavioral traits such as permissions needed, whether it's idempotent, rate limits, or what happens on failure. This leaves significant gaps for a mutation tool.

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 extremely concise with a single sentence, 'Create a new document.', which is front-loaded and wastes no words. However, this conciseness comes at the cost of completeness, but structurally it's efficient.

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 complexity (5 parameters, mutation operation, no annotations, no output schema), the description is incomplete. It doesn't explain the creation process, return values, error handling, or how it fits with siblings, making it insufficient for effective use.

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 must compensate. It adds no meaning beyond the schema—no explanation of what parameters like 'collectionId', 'parentDocumentId', or 'publish' do, their formats, or default behaviors. With 5 parameters, this is inadequate.

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 'Create a new document' clearly states the verb ('Create') and resource ('document'), which is better than a tautology. However, it lacks specificity about what kind of document or system (e.g., wiki, CMS) and doesn't differentiate from sibling tools like 'batch_create_documents' or 'create_collection', making it vague in context.

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?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It doesn't mention prerequisites (e.g., needing a collectionId), exclusions, or comparisons to siblings like 'batch_create_documents' for multiple documents or 'create_collection' for creating collections instead.

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