API-create-a-comment

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. 'Create comment' implies a write operation, but the description doesn't address permissions needed, whether the operation is idempotent, rate limits, error conditions, or what happens if the parent page doesn't exist. This leaves significant behavioral gaps for a mutation tool.

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 concise at just three words ('Notion | Create comment'), front-loading the essential information with zero wasted words. Every element earns its place by specifying the platform and core action.

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 mutation tool with no annotations, no output schema, and incomplete parameter documentation, this description is inadequate. It doesn't address what the tool returns, error conditions, or behavioral expectations beyond the basic action, leaving the agent with insufficient context for reliable invocation.

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 50% (one of two parameters has a description). The description adds no parameter information beyond what's in the schema. The schema provides some context for 'parent' and 'rich_text', but with incomplete coverage, the description doesn't compensate by explaining parameter relationships or usage patterns.

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 comment') and the resource ('Notion'), providing a specific verb+resource combination. However, it doesn't differentiate from sibling tools like 'API-retrieve-a-comment' or explain what makes this tool distinct beyond the basic action.

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 is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'API-retrieve-a-comment' or 'API-update-a-block'. The description offers no context about prerequisites, appropriate scenarios, or exclusions for this comment creation operation.

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