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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. 'Create' implies a write/mutation operation, but the description reveals nothing about permissions required, whether this operation is idempotent, what happens on failure, rate limits, or what the response contains. For a mutation tool with zero annotation coverage, this is completely inadequate behavioral transparency.

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 maximally concise at just three words. There's no wasted language or unnecessary elaboration. While this conciseness comes at the expense of helpful information, the description itself is perfectly structured and front-loaded with the essential action and object.

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 that this is a mutation tool with no annotations, no output schema, and a description that provides only basic purpose information, the description is incomplete. It doesn't help the agent understand the behavioral implications of using this tool, what to expect in return, or how it differs from similar creation tools. The 100% schema coverage for parameters is the only saving grace, but overall context is severely lacking.

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 has 100% description coverage, with both parameters ('name' and 'body') clearly documented in the schema itself. The description adds no additional parameter information beyond what's already in the schema. According to the scoring rules, when schema_description_coverage is high (>80%), the baseline is 3 even with no param info in the description, which applies here.

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 'Create a text message template' is a tautology that essentially restates the tool name. It specifies the verb ('Create') and resource ('text message template'), but doesn't distinguish this from sibling tools like 'createTemplate' or 'createTextMessage', nor does it clarify what differentiates a text message template from other template types. It provides minimal value beyond the name itself.

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 absolutely no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. There are multiple sibling tools with 'create' operations (e.g., createTemplate, createTextMessage, createNote), but the description offers no context about when this specific template type is appropriate, what prerequisites might exist, or when other tools might be better suited. This leaves the agent with no usage context.

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