Create Launch

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

The description does not disclose any behavioral traits beyond the annotation flags (all false). It fails to mention side effects (e.g., whether a new launch affects existing test runs), required permissions, or the impact of optional parameters like `autoclose` or `external`. With no annotations providing additional context, the description leaves the agent underinformed.

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, concise sentence with no wasted words. It clearly identifies the action and target, making it easy for an AI agent to quickly grasp the tool's primary function.

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 8 parameters and an output schema, the description is too sparse. It does not explain what a 'launch' represents in Allure TestOps, how it relates to test cases or plans, or how the optional parameters affect behavior. The agent lacks context to use the tool effectively alongside the many sibling tools.

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?

The input schema provides descriptions for all 8 parameters (100% coverage), so the description does not need to repeat them. However, the description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema, such as clarifying the relationship between parameters (e.g., how `tags`, `links`, and `issues` interact). A score of 3 is appropriate as the schema does the heavy lifting.

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 the resource ('a new launch'), and specifies the system ('Allure TestOps'). It effectively distinguishes this tool from siblings like `delete_launch`, `close_launch`, and `reopen_launch` by indicating its purpose as creation.

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?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., `upload_test_results` or `submit_manual_test_results`). It lacks any 'when-to-use' or 'when-not-to-use' context, and does not mention prerequisites or common scenarios.

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