quire.createTask

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

The description explains the core behavioral distinction between root and subtask creation, but lacks details on side effects (e.g., notifications, permissions) and return values. With no annotations, this is adequate but not thorough.

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?

Three concise sentences, front-loaded with purpose, efficient use of words, no redundancy. Each sentence adds value.

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 description covers the key contextual distinction (root vs subtask) and differently guides to siblings. However, it omits output description and potential error cases, which would aid completeness for a creation tool with 9 parameters and no output schema.

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 100%, so the schema already describes each parameter. The description adds minimal new meaning beyond the schema, primarily reinforcing the dual use of projectId. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 creates a task, distinguishes between root tasks (using project ID) and subtasks (using parent task OID), and explicitly names sibling tools for alternative 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?

The description explicitly tells when to use this tool (to create root tasks or subtasks) and when not to (for positioning tasks, use createTaskAfter or createTaskBefore), providing clear context and alternatives.

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