clickup_chat_channel_create

Create a new ClickUp Chat channel by providing a unique name, optional description and visibility. Returns the channel object.

Instructions

Create a new ClickUp Chat channel in a workspace. For one-on-one messages use clickup_chat_dm instead. Add members later via the channel-members endpoint. Returns the created channel object including its new id.

Input Schema

visibilityNoChannel visibility: 'public' (any workspace member can join) or 'private' (invite only). Defaults to 'public'.
Behavior4/5

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

No annotations provided, so description bears full burden. States creation and return of object with id. Does not disclose auth requirements or rate limits, but clearly implies a non-destructive create operation.

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?

Three sentences with no fluff. First sentence states purpose and differentiates, second provides workflow hint, third states return value. Front-loaded with key information.

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 creation, alternative for DMs, member addition workflow, and return value. Lacks permission details but schema handles team_id default. No output schema, so return value description is adequate.

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 descriptions cover all 4 parameters at 100%. Description adds context about description being optional and return value but does not significantly deepen parameter understanding beyond schema.

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 'ClickUp Chat channel in a workspace'. Differentiates from sibling clickup_chat_dm for one-on-one messages. Mentions return value includes new id.

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 tells when to use this tool versus clickup_chat_dm for one-on-one messages. Also advises to add members later via channel-members endpoint. Could mention prerequisites like workspace ID but schema covers that.

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