clickup_view_create

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries full behavioral burden. It discloses that the view is created with default filters (empty) and that the result includes the new id. It honestly states limitations (customization via web UI). No contradictions.

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?

Two sentences, each serving a clear purpose: first states what the tool does, second explains the behavior and return value. No redundancy or unnecessary information.

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?

Given no annotations or output schema, the description adequately covers purpose, behavior (empty with defaults), return (object with id), and attachment scopes. It is fully sufficient for an agent to determine usage.

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?

Schema coverage is 100% and parameter descriptions are already clear. The description adds no new per-parameter meaning beyond overall context (e.g., 'empty view with default filters'). Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 creates a new saved view attached to a space, folder, list, or workspace. It specifies the verb (create) and resource (saved view), and distinguishes from sibling view tools like view_get, view_list, view_update, and view_delete.

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 says the view is created empty with default filters and that customization happens later via the web UI. This implicitly tells the agent not to attempt configuring filters through this tool, but it does not explicitly mention alternatives like view_update for modifications. Slightly lacking but still clear context.

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