create_event_notification

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

No annotations are present, so the description carries full burden. It only volunteers 'WRITE' which is obvious from the name. No details on side effects, authentication needs, rate limits, or what happens on creation (e.g., idempotency, validation). This is insufficient for safe usage.

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 (one sentence) and front-loaded with the key action. It is efficient, though it sacrifices nuance. It could benefit from a bit more structure, but for a single-sentence definition, it earns its place.

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 lack of annotations and an open-ended object parameter, the description is markedly incomplete. It does not clarify what a 'platform notification v2' entails, what the required fields are, or what the response looks like (no output schema). An agent would struggle to use this tool correctly without external knowledge.

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 covers 100% of the parameter, but the description adds no new meaning beyond the schema. The parameter description is generic ('Pass all required fields per the notification spec.'), offering no concrete guidance on the object structure. Baseline for high coverage is 3, and this description does not exceed it.

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) and the resource (event-notification), and distinguishes it from siblings by specifying 'WRITE, platform notification v2'. The verb and resource are specific and distinct from related tools like create_self_notification or get_event_notification.

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. There is no mention of prerequisites, preferred scenarios, or exclusions. With many notification-related siblings, the lack of usage context makes selection harder for an AI agent.

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