wiki_batch_create

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

With no annotations, the description bears full burden for behavioral disclosure. It only mentions the batch nature and required fields. It omits critical behavior such as whether the operation is atomic, error handling, limits, or output details. For a batch creation tool, this is insufficient.

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 concise with two sentences: the first states the purpose, the second adds a key requirement. It is front-loaded and efficient, though it could be more structured (e.g., list).

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 presence of an output schema (not shown) and sibling tools, the description is incomplete. It does not explain output format, error handling, atomicity, or limits. For a batch creation tool, these are important for correct invocation.

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 coverage is 0% (no parameter descriptions). The description adds meaning for the 'documents' parameter by stating each element must have 'name and content', which is not in the schema. However, it does not clarify 'parent_id' (implicitly understood as parent) or 'status' (default 1, meaning unknown). Partial compensation.

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 tool's purpose: 'batch create multiple child documents'. The verb 'batch create' and resource 'child documents' are specific, and the requirement for each element to have 'name and content' adds clarity. While it distinguishes from single creation by batching, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like wiki_create_document.

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 usage guidelines are provided. The description does not indicate when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., wiki_create_document for single documents) or mention context, prerequisites, or exclusion criteria. The sibling list shows other creation tools but the description offers no guidance.

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