Create Group

create_group

Create a new section (group) in a monday.com board to categorize items, set workflow phases, and add structure. Optionally specify color and position relative to existing groups.

Instructions

Create a new group in a monday.com board. Groups are sections that organize related items. Use when users want to add structure, categorize items, or create workflow phases. Groups can be positioned relative to existing groups and assigned predefined colors. Items will always be created in the top group and so the top group should be the most relevant one for new item creation

Input Schema

Behavior3/5

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

Describes creation behavior including positioning relative to groups and color assignment. Annotations show no destructive or readOnly hints, so description adds some value. Does not mention error cases or prerequisites but is adequate.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Four concise sentences, front-loaded with purpose, no redundancy. Every sentence adds value.

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

Completeness4/5

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

Covers the main use cases and parameter constraints. No output schema, but description doesn't need to detail return values for a straightforward creation tool. Could mention response, but not critical.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema coverage is 100% so baseline is 3. The description adds context about groups organizing items and the top group hint, which slightly enhances parameter understanding. No contradiction.

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?

Clearly states the verb 'create' and resource 'group in a monday.com board'. Provides context about groups organizing items, and distinguishes from siblings like create_board or create_item.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Explicitly says 'Use when users want to add structure, categorize items, or create workflow phases.' Also gives a practical hint about the top group for new items. Lacks explicit when-not-to-use or alternative tools, but sufficient.

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