Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false, idempotentHint=false, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds that it returns the 'resource request response' and names the POST endpoint, hinting that creation yields a request object, but it says nothing about whether the call is asynchronous, what happens on duplicate names, or what the response contains.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Three short lines, front-loaded with the creating verb, with no filler. The raw endpoint line is slightly redundant with the annotation title but still compact and useful.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a mutation tool with a nested body object, no output schema, and real sibling competition among deployment resource endpoints, the description is too thin. It should clarify the async/request nature of the operation, the expected response shape, and any preconditions, none of which are present.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100% and the single body parameter's nested fields (name, type, projectId, properties, deploymentId) are all documented in the schema. The description adds no meaning beyond that, so the baseline 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a concrete verb and resource ('Create a new resource') plus the underlying endpoint, so the agent knows it is a creation operation. It does not distinguish what a 'resource' is here versus siblings such as deployment_get_resources or deployment_post_resources_by_resource_id_requests, leaving the domain scope slightly ambiguous.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

There is no guidance on when to use this versus the other deployment_resource/deployment request tools, no stated prerequisites (e.g., required project or deployment context), and no mention of alternatives. The agent must infer usage from the name alone.

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