project_create

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It only says 'Mutating' which hints at state change (create is mutating), but does not disclose any potential side effects, permissions required, idempotency behavior, or what happens if a project with the same name already exists. Very limited transparency.

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?

Very concise at one sentence plus a short phrase. However, 'Mutating, REST plane.' is somewhat redundant and could be omitted without loss of meaning. Still, the core message is front-loaded.

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?

While the output schema exists (so return values are covered), the description fails to explain the creation process, validation rules, or relationship between parameters. For a tool with 6 parameters and zero schema descriptions, this is insufficient for an AI agent to use correctly.

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 6 parameters (1 required) with 0% description coverage. The description does not mention any parameter meanings, defaults, or constraints. For example, it doesn't explain 'parent', 'confirm', 'inheritable' or their roles. The description adds no semantic value beyond the bare 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?

Description clearly states the action ('Create a new project') and resource ('project'). The name 'project_create' and description together make purpose clear. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'project_import' or 'project_scan', which could also create projects in different ways.

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 on when to use this tool vs alternatives. For instance, it doesn't explain when to prefer 'project_create' over 'project_import' (which creates from a template) or 'project_scan' (which might detect existing projects). No 'when-not-to' information is provided.

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