create_trigger

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. The tip about local field references is useful, but it does not mention side effects, permissions, or the automation nature of trigger creation. The description fails to disclose important behavioral aspects of the 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 exceptionally concise: one sentence for purpose and one sentence for an actionable tip. It avoids any wasted words and is well-structured for quick consumption.

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 schema and output schema provide structural detail, but the description lacks important domain context such as the relationship between triggers and autoactions, how conditions are evaluated, or prerequisites. The tip is helpful but does not fully compensate for the missing conceptual guidance.

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?

All parameters are fully described in the schema (100% coverage), so the baseline is 3. The description adds value by providing a concrete example of how to use local field references within the 'actions' and 'conditions' parameters, which goes beyond what the schema provides.

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 operation (Create) and the resource (a trigger in a queue). It distinguishes itself from siblings like list_triggers and update_trigger by focusing on creation, but does not explicitly differentiate from create_autoaction, leaving some ambiguity about when to use each.

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 this tool should be used relative to alternatives such as update_trigger or create_autoaction. The description only states what it does, leaving the agent without contextual cues for tool selection.

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