create_app

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It does not state permissions required, side effects, reversibility, what gets created or modified in the repository, or whether the operation is long-running or rate-limited.

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?

A single front-loaded sentence with no filler or repetition. It is appropriately sized at a high level, though the terseness leaves no room for the structured guidance a complex orchestration tool may need.

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?

This is a high-complexity orchestration tool with no annotations and no output schema, yet the description does not cover prerequisites, execution flow, expected outcomes, or how it interacts with siblings like create_app_plan and clone_app_template. It is too thin for the tool's responsibility.

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 description coverage is 100%, so each parameter is already documented in the schema. The description mentions PRD and template baselines but adds no syntax, format, or behavioral meaning beyond what the schema provides, making the baseline 3 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?

States a specific verb (orchestrate/generate) and resource (application from PRD), with mention of feature reuse and template baselines. However, it does not clearly distinguish this tool from siblings such as create_app_plan or clone_app_template.

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?

No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus create_app_plan, create_feature_plan, or clone_app_template. The 'from PRD' phrasing implies a prerequisite but provides no when/when-not conditions or alternatives.

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