quire.createTaskBefore

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

No annotations provided. The description adds minimal behavioral context (position and level) but fails to disclose prerequisites, permissions, side effects, or what happens to the reference task. For a creation tool, this is insufficient.

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?

Two sentences that are direct and to the point with no wasted words. The description is front-loaded and efficient.

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?

Despite the tool having 9 parameters and no output schema or annotations, the description is very short and does not cover return values, error scenarios, or other important context. It lacks completeness for a tool of this complexity.

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?

Input schema covers 100% of parameters with descriptions. The tool description does not add any additional meaning beyond the schema, so baseline score of 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 verb 'create', the resource 'task', and the specific positioning 'immediately before a specified task' and 'at the same level'. This distinguishes it from siblings like createTask and createTaskAfter.

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 implies usage when inserting before a specific task, but does not explicitly state when not to use it or mention alternatives like createTaskAfter or createTask. Still, the context is clear.

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