Behavior2/5

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

There are no annotations, so the description carries the full burden. The phrase 'Create a new association owner' only restates the tool's name and implies a mutation, but does not disclose side effects, data validation rules, required permissions, or idempotency. It adds no behavioral context beyond what the name already suggests.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single, front-loaded sentence with no fillers or redundancy. It is appropriately concise for a simple CRUD operation, though the brevity comes at the cost of necessary detail, which is addressed in other dimensions.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness1/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With one parameter that is completely undocumented, no annotations, and no usage guidelines, the description is severely incomplete. An agent cannot determine how to populate owner_data or what to expect beyond the existence of an output schema. The minimal wording is far from sufficient for effective tool invocation.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters1/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The only parameter, 'owner_data', is an object with additionalProperties:true and no schema description (0% coverage). The description does not explain what fields or structure owner_data should have, offering no help in constructing a valid request. It entirely fails to compensate for the schema's lack of detail.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the verb ('Create') and the resource ('association owner'), making it distinct from sibling tools like list_association_owners or update_association_owner. It unambiguously tells the agent what action this tool performs.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as update_association_owner or create_association. The description does not mention any prerequisites, context, or exclusions, leaving the agent without decision support.

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