Create_Word_Document

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses that the tool creates and uploads to SharePoint and supports rich formatting, but it lacks details on overwrite behavior, required permissions, error handling, or whether it's synchronous.

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 concise with two sentences, front-loading the primary action and key features. Every sentence adds value without unnecessary detail.

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 rich schema (100% coverage) and no output schema or annotations, the description covers the main functionality well. It could mention that it only creates new documents on SharePoint and perhaps note size limits, but it is sufficiently complete for a typical use case.

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 input schema already has 100% coverage with descriptions. The description adds value by summarizing capabilities (e.g., 'rich formatting including colors, highlighting, and spacing') and linking the folder_path parameter to SharePoint upload, providing context beyond the schema.

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 verb 'Create', the resource 'formatted Word document (.docx)', and lists supported elements like headings, paragraphs, tables, etc. It distinguishes from siblings like Create_PowerPoint and Edit_Word_Document.

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 mentions 'Upload directly to SharePoint' which implies usage context, but it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like Upload_Document or Edit_Word_Document. No exclusions or when-not instructions are provided.

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