create_folder

Creates a folder in the content repository by specifying its name, parent folder, and optional properties.

Instructions

PREREQUISITES IN ORDER: To use this tool, you MUST call two other tools first in a specific sequence.

  1. determine_class tool to get the class_identifier.

  2. get_class_property_descriptions to get a list of valid properties for the given class_identifier

Creates a folder in the content repository with specified properties. This tool interfaces with the GraphQL API to create a new folder object with the provided parameters.

Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It mentions GraphQL API interaction but fails to explain side effects (e.g., overwrite behavior, access rights, idempotency) or what happens on failure.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The prerequisites section is well-structured and bolded, but the sentence about GraphQL API is redundant. The description could be more concise without losing essential guidance.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the complexity (5 params, nested objects), the description is incomplete. It lacks explanations for parameters like 'id' and 'folder_properties', and does not cover error handling or naming constraints. The output schema may compensate for return values, but behavioral gaps remain.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters1/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0% and the tool description does not explain any of the five parameters. Parameters like 'id' and 'folder_properties' remain ambiguous, forcing reliance on prerequisite tools alone.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states 'Creates a folder in the content repository with specified properties.' The verb and resource are explicit, and it distinguishes from sibling tools like update_folder or delete_folder.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description explicitly lists required prerequisite tools in order (determine_class and get_class_property_descriptions), providing clear when-to-use guidance and preventing misuse.

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