create_sequence

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

The description does not add behavioral context beyond what annotations already provide (readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false). It fails to mention potential side effects, prerequisites (e.g., open project), or error handling for duplicate names or invalid preset paths. With annotations, the bar is lower, but a score of 3 is appropriate as the description adds minimal extra 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?

The description is a single, concise sentence with no wasted words. However, it may be slightly too brief to be maximally helpful, which prevents a score of 5.

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?

For a simple tool with no output schema, the description covers the basic purpose but lacks information about return values (e.g., does it return the new sequence ID?) and does not address common use-case nuances or error conditions. It is adequate but not fully 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?

Schema coverage is 100%, meaning the input schema already documents both parameters adequately. The description does not provide any additional meaning or constraints beyond the schema, so it receives the baseline score.

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 clearly states the action ('Create') and the resource ('sequence') within the project. It is specific enough to understand the basic function, but it does not explicitly differentiate from siblings like 'create_sequence_from_preset' or 'duplicate_sequence', which share similar verbs.

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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. With many sibling tools that create or manage sequences (e.g., duplicate_sequence, create_sequence_from_preset), the absence of explicit usage context is a significant gap.

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