Create Plain Environment

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

Annotations only include 'openWorldHint: true', which is ambiguous. The description adds that it returns an operation_id and that the environment is 'plain (empty)', but does not detail potential side effects, permission requirements, or whether the environment is immediately usable. With minimal annotation coverage, the description does enough to convey basic behavior but lacks depth.

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 extremely concise: two sentences that front-load the key action and outcome with no unnecessary words. Every word serves a purpose.

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's simplicity, the description covers the essential aspects: creation of a plain environment and return of operation_id. The output schema is present (not shown), so the return value is likely detailed there. However, it could briefly mention that the environment is a staging environment or contrast with other creation 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 already has 100% description coverage for all three parameters (site_id, display_name, is_premium). The description does not add any additional meaning or context beyond what is in the schema, so it meets the baseline.

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'), the resource ('new plain (empty) environment'), and the outcome ('Returns an operation_id'). The title 'Create Plain Environment' aligns perfectly, and the name distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'kinsta.environments.create' or 'kinsta.environments.clone'.

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?

While the name implies creating a plain environment, the description provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'clone' or 'create' (which may be different). It lacks 'when-not-to-use' or mentions of prerequisites.

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