create_user

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

With no annotations provided, the description discloses two important behavioral facts beyond the schema: admin_write authorization is required, and passwords should be treated as temporary setup secrets. It does not cover side effects such as immediate activation or return behavior, but the stated preconditions and password handling add real operational value.

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?

Three tight sentences with no padding; the core action is front-loaded, followed by permission and security-relevant guidance. Every sentence adds information an agent needs before calling the tool.

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 adequately covers the essential precondition and security note, but with eight parameters, no output schema, and no annotations it leaves several parameters unexplained and does not describe what a successful call returns. The role-to-supervisor relationship is left to the single schema hint rather than stated in the description.

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 only 13%, and the description only adds meaning for the password parameter and partially for role. Username, email, full_name, profile, phone_number, and the supervisor dependency remain undocumented in both schema and description, so agents have to guess at several parameters.

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 uses a specific verb ('Create') and resource ('supervisor or interviewer user'), and names the two valid role targets. It clearly differentiates this tool from the many get/list/archive user siblings by stating the creation action explicitly.

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 gives clear usage context: create a new user of one of two roles, and clarifies the prerequisite admin_write permission. It does not enumerate exclusions or alternative tools, but the purpose statement makes the appropriate invocation context obvious.

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