Create DNS Record

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

The annotations only include openWorldHint, so the description carries the burden of behavioral disclosure. It merely says 'create' and does not explain mutation effects, duplicate handling, DNS propagation, asynchronicity, or permissions required.

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 sentence with no filler or repetition. It is front-loaded with the core action, though it is too sparse to earn a higher score for structural richness.

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?

With no output schema and only openWorldHint, the description does not tell the agent what the response will look like or whether the operation is asynchronous. Key context such as requiring an existing domain and checking operation status is absent.

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 description coverage is 100%, and each parameter (domain_id, type, name, ttl, resource_records) already has a meaningful description. The tool description adds nothing beyond the schema, so the baseline of 3 applies.

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 states a specific verb ('create'), a specific resource ('DNS record'), and a clear scope ('for a domain'). This clearly differentiates the tool from the sibling update, delete, and list operations.

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?

There is no guidance about when to use this tool versus kinsta_dns_records_update or kinsta_dns_records_delete. It does not mention prerequisites, such as the domain already existing or when a create operation would be appropriate.

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