test_create_database

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavioral traits. The description only states 'Create a new database', which implies a write operation but lacks details on permissions, side effects, or output format (despite an output schema existing). Minimal 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?

The description is extremely short (one phrase) but is under-specified rather than concise. It does not earn its place as it provides minimal value. A longer but more informative description would be preferred.

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 5 parameters with no descriptions, no usage guidance, and a complex operation (creating a database), the description is severely incomplete. The existence of an output schema is not leveraged. The tool's context is almost entirely missing.

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 description coverage is 0%, and the description does not explain any of the 5 parameters (e.g., parent_json, title_json). The agent has no insight into parameter meaning beyond their names, which are vague and potentially confusing (e.g., 'json' suffix but anyOf types).

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 database' clearly states the verb and resource. It is not a tautology as it clarifies that the tool creates a database. However, it does not differentiate from the sibling 'default_create_database', missing that this is a test environment tool.

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 versus alternatives like 'default_create_database'. The description provides no context or exclusions, leaving the agent to guess when to invoke this test version.

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