passgage_create_shift_setting

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

No annotations are present, and the description offers no behavioral context beyond the basic 'create' action. It doesn't mention side effects, required data, permissions, or what happens on success/failure, leaving the agent with no useful safety or execution insights.

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 a single concise sentence that directly states the tool's purpose. It avoids any unnecessary fluff, though it may be too sparse for complex usage.

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?

Despite the simplicity of the tool (one data object), the description fails to convey what a shift_setting is or what fields the data object should contain. With no output schema and no annotations, an agent cannot construct a valid create request confidently, making the description inadequate for effective use.

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% for the single parameter 'data', but the description is generic ('The data for creating the shift_setting') and the object allows arbitrary properties. The tool description adds no field-level guidance, so it stays at the baseline for high schema coverage.

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?

Description clearly states the action ('Create') and the resource ('shift_setting'), distinguishing it from sibling tools like update, delete, get, and list for the same resource.

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 guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives, prerequisites, or typical use cases. The name implies creating a new shift_setting, but there is no explicit context or exclusion.

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