clickup_doc_add_page

Add a new page to a ClickUp doc with optional markdown content, subtitle, and nesting under a parent page to build a page tree.

Instructions

Create a new page inside an existing ClickUp doc. Pages support a markdown body plus optional subtitle. Supply parent_page_id to nest the page under another page (creates a page tree). Returns the created page object including its new id, which you can pass to clickup_doc_edit_page or clickup_doc_get_page.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
contentNoInitial body of the page in ClickUp-flavoured markdown. Omit to create an empty page you can populate later via clickup_doc_edit_page.
doc_idYesID of the parent doc. Obtain from clickup_doc_list (field: id).
nameYesTitle shown in the doc's left-hand page navigator.
parent_page_idNoID of a sibling page to nest this page under. Omit to create a top-level page. Obtain from clickup_doc_pages (field: id).
sub_titleNoOptional subtitle rendered under the page title.
team_idNoWorkspace (team) ID. Omit to use the default workspace from config.
Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It discloses that the tool returns the created page object including its id, and mentions optional parameters like team_id defaulting to config. However, it does not discuss error scenarios, required permissions, or rate limits, leaving some behavioral gaps.

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, no filler. First sentence states primary purpose, second adds markdown/subtitle/parent_page_id details, third describes return value and links to sibling tools. Every sentence is informative.

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?

Given the tool's complexity (6 parameters, no output schema), the description adequately explains the return value and relationships to other tools. It lacks details on prerequisites or error handling, but for a create tool this is sufficient.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, and the description adds value beyond schema: explains parent_page_id creates a page tree, content omission creates empty page for later editing, name appears in navigator, team_id defaults to config. This enriches parameter understanding.

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 the action (create a new page), the resource (inside an existing ClickUp doc), and distinguishes from similar tools by mentioning nesting via parent_page_id and referencing sibling tools like clickup_doc_edit_page and clickup_doc_get_page.

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?

The description explains when to use the tool (to add a page to a doc) and hints at alternatives (nesting with parent_page_id). However, it doesn't explicitly exclude creating a doc itself, which is covered by clickup_doc_create, but the purpose is clear enough to avoid confusion.

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