sf_create

Create records in any Salesforce object. Specify the object API name and field values to return the new record's ID.

Instructions

Create a record in any Salesforce object (Account, Case, Contact, Lead, Opportunity, or any custom object).

Examples: object="Case" fields={Subject:"Server outage", Status:"New", Priority:"High", Origin:"Web"} object="Account" fields={Name:"Acme Corp", Industry:"Technology", BillingCity:"San Francisco"} object="Contact" fields={FirstName:"Jane", LastName:"Smith", Email:"jane@acme.com", AccountId:"001..."} object="Lead" fields={FirstName:"Bob", LastName:"Jones", Company:"StartupCo", Status:"Open - Not Contacted"}

Returns the Id of the created record.

Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the full burden. It only states the basic operation (create record) and return value (Id), but does not disclose side effects, authorization needs, rate limits, or error conditions.

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 is concise with two short paragraphs and clear examples. Every sentence is informative, and it is front-loaded with the core purpose.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

The description covers basic purpose and return value with helpful examples, but lacks details on error handling, rate limits, or authorization. For a simple create tool, it is adequate but not fully complete.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds value with examples showing typical field-value pairs for common objects, which helps the agent understand usage beyond the schema.

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 tool creates a record in any Salesforce object, with explicit examples. It distinguishes from siblings like sf_create_user (specific to User) and sf_update (update vs create).

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies the tool is for creating records in any object but does not explicitly state when to avoid using it or compare with alternatives like sf_create_user. No when-not-to-use guidance.

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