create_filter_group

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only says 'Create a new filter group' without mentioning permissions, side effects, required ownership, or any consequences. This is minimal for a create operation, especially given the lack of annotation support.

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, front-loaded with the key verb and object. It is appropriately brief, though it arguably lacks useful detail; however, the short length is not 'wasteful' but rather 'under-specified.'

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 2 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is incomplete. It doesn't explain what a filter group is, return values, expected input format for filter_order, or any behavior beyond creation. This is insufficient for an agent to invoke the tool reliably.

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 schema has 2 parameters with 50% description coverage (filter_order has a schema description, name does not). The description adds no explicit meaning about 'name' or 'filter_order'; 'saved filter configurations' is a vague allusion and doesn't clarify parameter semantics. More detail is needed to compensate for the schema gap.

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 a specific action ('Create a new filter group') and resource ('filter group'), distinguishing it from sibling tools like list_filter_groups, get_filter_group, update_filter_group, and delete_filter_group. The verb and object are unambiguous.

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 such as update_filter_group or list_filter_groups. It doesn't state any prerequisites, exclusions, or typical scenarios, leaving the agent without context for selection.

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