create_module

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

With no annotations provided, the description must disclose behavioral implications of the action. It only states 'Create a new module' and 'Returns Created Module object,' with no mention of side effects, permissions, idempotency, or handling of duplicates. This leaves important behavioral aspects unclear.

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 organized as a docstring with Args and Returns sections, making it easy to scan. It is reasonably concise given the number of parameters, though the parameter list is redundant with the schema and could be shortened.

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 the tool has 10 parameters and no annotations, the description should provide more context about what a module is, its purpose, and any relationships to other entities. It does not explain required fields beyond the schema, nor does it clarify the discrepancy with workspace_slug. The description falls short of fully equipping the agent.

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 description does add textual meanings to parameters, which is helpful given the schema has no descriptions. However, it lists 'workspace_slug' as an argument, which is not present in the input schema and would be rejected by additionalProperties:false. Some descriptions are also tautological (e.g., 'Module name' for name). These errors undermine the semantic value provided.

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?

'Create a new module.' is a clear, specific verb+resource statement that immediately distinguishes this from other creation tools (e.g., create_project). The parameter list is secondary and does not obscure the primary purpose.

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 other create tools (e.g., create_project, create_cycle). It does not mention any prerequisites, such as needing a valid project_id, or when an update might be more appropriate. This is missing context for tool selection.

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