bookstack_pages_create

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

With no annotations, the description carries full burden but provides minimal behavioral insight. It states it's a creation tool, implying mutation, but doesn't cover permissions needed, whether it's idempotent, error handling, rate limits, or what happens on success (e.g., returns a page ID). This leaves critical gaps for an agent to use it safely and effectively.

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, efficient sentence with zero waste. It's front-loaded with the core purpose and includes only essential details (content formats). No unnecessary words or structural issues.

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 creation tool with 7 parameters, no annotations, and no output schema, the description is inadequate. It lacks behavioral context (e.g., auth needs, response format), usage guidance, and doesn't compensate for the missing output schema. The agent would struggle to use this tool correctly without additional information.

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 the schema fully documents all 7 parameters. The description adds no parameter-specific information beyond implying content formats (html/markdown), which is already clear in the schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate as the schema does the heavy lifting.

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 action ('Create') and resource ('new page with content'), specifying the content formats (HTML or Markdown). It distinguishes from siblings like 'bookstack_pages_update' or 'bookstack_pages_delete' by focusing on creation, but doesn't explicitly differentiate from other creation tools like 'bookstack_books_create' beyond the resource type.

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. It doesn't mention prerequisites (e.g., needing a book or chapter parent), compare to other creation tools (e.g., 'bookstack_books_create'), or indicate scenarios where it's appropriate (e.g., adding documentation vs. uploading attachments).

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