create_query

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden for behavioral disclosure. It only states the creation action but gives no information about side effects, validation, duplicate handling, permission requirements, or how the created query is returned. This is minimal and leaves significant behavioral ambiguity.

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, concise sentence that is front-loaded with the critical verb and object. There is no redundant or filler content; every word earns its place.

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 has 7 parameters including nested objects (options, schedule) and no output schema, the one-line description is insufficient. It does not explain the format for schedule/options, the return value, or the overall creation flow in Redash. The schema descriptions help with parameter meaning but do not compensate for the lack of behavioral and contextual detail.

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?

All 7 parameters have descriptions in the schema, so coverage is 100%. The description itself adds no additional parameter meaning. Baseline of 3 applies because the schema already documents each parameter adequately.

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 'Create a new query in Redash' uses a specific verb (create) and resource (query), clearly distinguishing it from siblings like update_query, list_queries, and archive_query. It precisely states the action and the system context.

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 execute_query or update_query. The description does not mention prerequisites (e.g., data source must exist) or whether this tool is for saved queries only. Usage context is only implied, not explicit.

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