apidog_create_api_detail

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

With no annotations, the description carries full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It only states the action and input format, omitting side effects, authentication requirements, or the branch/project fallback behavior that the schema briefly mentions. The description adds minimal value beyond the structured data.

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 short sentence, highly concise with no filler. However, it sacrifices needed contextual information for brevity, making it less informative than it could be.

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 tool has a required nested object parameter and no output schema, but the description does not explain the expected result, prerequisites, or when to use it. Sibling tools provide context, but this description is insufficient for a create operation with complex input.

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 schema already provides descriptions for all three parameters (100% coverage), so the baseline is 3. The description adds the phrase 'raw Apidog form fields,' which reinforces the apiDetail parameter's format but does not materially add beyond what the schema states.

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 uses the specific verb 'Create' and identifies the resource as 'Apidog API detail', which clearly distinguishes it from siblings like apidog_update_api_detail and apidog_create_api_detail_folder. The phrase 'using raw Apidog form fields' hints at the input format, though it could be more explicit about what an API detail entails.

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 to use this tool versus alternatives such as apidog_update_api_detail or apidog_create_api_detail_folder. The description lacks any context for selection and does not mention any preconditions or fallback behaviors.

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