yougile_create_task

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

Annotations already indicate a non-read-only, non-destructive operation, so the description isn't burdened with the safety profile. It adds value by listing supported features (e.g., deadline, checklists, color) but omits details about return values or side effects beyond creation.

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 sentence with a front-loaded purpose and then a compact list of supported features. It is concise and readable, though the list is dense.

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?

The rich input schema covers all parameters, and the description adequately conveys the tool's core purpose and capabilities. However, without an output schema, the description does not mention what the response contains (e.g., created task ID), which is a minor gap but not critical for a create tool.

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 provides 100% parameter descriptions, so the baseline applies. The description's mention of 'deadline (timestamp ms)' and color enum adds no new information beyond what the schema already documents.

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 tool's function: 'Create a new task in a column.' The verb 'create' and resource 'task' are specific, and it distinguishes the tool from siblings like yougile_update_task and yougile_list_tasks.

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 implies when to use the tool via the verb 'create' but does not explicitly contrast it with alternatives or mention prerequisites. There is no guidance on when not to use it, leaving the agent to infer from the name and context.

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