clickup_group_create

Create a user group in a ClickUp workspace to assign or @-mention multiple members as a unit. Requires at least one initial member.

Instructions

Create a new user group ('team' in ClickUp's UI) in a workspace. Groups let you @-mention or assign multiple users as a unit. At least one initial member is required. Returns the created group object including its new id.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
member_idsNoUser IDs to add as initial members. Obtain from clickup_member_list or clickup_user_get (field: id).
nameYesDisplay name for the group (e.g. 'Frontend Engineers').
team_idNoWorkspace (team) ID. Obtain from clickup_workspace_list (field: id). Omit to use the default workspace from config.
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It discloses that a created group object with new id is returned, and that at least one initial member is required. It does not mention permissions, rate limits, or side effects, but for a creation tool the described behavior 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?

The description consists of three concise sentences that front-load the key information. Every sentence adds value without redundancy. It is efficiently structured for quick comprehension.

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 lack of output schema, the description provides reasonable completeness by mentioning the return of the created object. It covers creation, naming, member requirement, and workspace context. Minor gaps like name length constraints are acceptable for a creation tool.

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

Parameters5/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, providing a baseline of 3. The description adds significant value beyond the schema by specifying how to obtain IDs for member_ids and team_id, giving an example for name, and explaining the default behavior for team_id. This enriches the agent's 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), resource (user group/team), and context (workspace). It specifies that groups are used for @-mentions and assignments, and distinguishes this creation tool from sibling tools like group_list, group_update, etc. The UI equivalent is mentioned for clarity.

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 the purpose of groups and gives a prerequisite (at least one initial member required). It provides guidance on obtaining IDs from other tools, implying a workflow. However, it does not explicitly contrast with alternatives like updating or deleting groups, though the context is clear enough from sibling names.

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