create-automation-tool

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It only states the create action without disclosing side effects, required permissions, idempotency, or response behavior. For a mutation operation, this is a significant lack of transparency.

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 efficient sentence with no unnecessary words. It front-loads the main purpose, though it is quite terse. No excessive length, but it could be slightly more detailed without harming conciseness.

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 has a nested object parameter, no annotations, and no output schema, the description is inadequate. It does not provide enough context for an agent to construct a valid 'tool' object or understand the expected behavior. This is a borderline inadequate description for the complexity.

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% and there is one required parameter 'tool' which is a free-form object. The description adds minimal meaning by implying the object represents the automation tool, but it does not explain any structure, required fields, or examples, so it fails to compensate for the schema's lack of detail.

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 action ('Create') and resource ('runbook automation tool'), which is a specific verb+resource pair. It distinguishes from siblings like get/update/delete-automation-tool, but does not elaborate on what an automation tool is or how it differs from a runbook.

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?

There is no guidance about when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention the context of runbook automation tools or contrast with create-runbook or other create-related tools.

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