Create Team

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states the action and a brief note about teams, but omits details such as permissions required, idempotency, failure modes, or what is returned upon success. This is minimal transparency for a mutation tool.

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?

The description is three concise sentences, each serving a purpose: stating the action, explaining the context, and providing a practical tip. No fluff or repetition, making it highly scannable for an agent.

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?

For a simple create tool with two parameters and no output schema, the description covers the core purpose and provides a relevant prerequisite. It lacks some details about expected response or permissions, but given the low complexity and complete schema, it is adequately complete.

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% with descriptions for both 'name' and 'user_ids'. The description adds extra value by telling the user to call get_users first to obtain user IDs, which is not in the schema. This supplemental guidance goes beyond the schema's basic field descriptions.

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's function with a specific verb and resource: 'Create a new team in Less Annoying CRM.' It also clarifies the resource's purpose (organizing users for permission management) and is distinct from sibling tools like edit_team, delete_team, get_team, and get_teams.

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 provides a useful usage hint by instructing to 'Use get_users first to find user IDs for team membership,' which directly supports the optional user_ids parameter. It does not explicitly mention exclusions or when not to use this tool, but the context is clear enough for a create operation.

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