slipbox_create_structure_from_cluster

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full transparency burden. It discloses the core behavior (creating a structure note, organizing cluster notes, and creating bidirectional links), which is valuable. However, it does not mention edge cases (e.g., what happens if the cluster ID is invalid), permissions, or whether the operation is reversible, leaving some gaps.

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 concise and well-structured: a clear one-line purpose, a brief expansion of what it does, a key prerequisite, and a compact Args list. All sentences contribute value, and it is appropriately sized for the tool's complexity.

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 provides the essential context: what the tool creates, how links work, and the prerequisite. With no output schema and no annotations, it could further describe the return value or error behavior, but for a creation tool it is sufficiently complete.

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 schema has zero descriptions, so the description fully compensates by explaining each parameter: cluster_id with an example, title as an override, and create_links with its default behavior. This adds significant meaning beyond the raw schema.

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 and resource: 'Create a structure note from a detected cluster.' It clarifies the tool's function (organizing cluster notes, creating bidirectional links) and is distinct from siblings like slipbox_create_note or slipbox_get_cluster_report.

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 instructs to run slipbox_get_cluster_report first to see available clusters and IDs, providing clear context on when to use this tool. While it does not enumerate alternatives or exclusions, the prerequisite guidance is strong, so it earns a 4.

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