create_share_link

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

The description does not disclose any behavioral traits beyond the basic action. It fails to mention permissions required, side effects (e.g., potential overwrite of existing links), whether the link is permanent, or any limitations. Since no annotations are provided, the description carries the full burden, which it does not satisfy.

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 concise: two sentences for the purpose and two lines for parameters. Every sentence adds value, and the structure is straightforward with no extraneous information.

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?

Given the tool's low complexity (2 parameters, one required) and the existence of an output schema, the description is minimally adequate. However, it omits important contextual details like whether the link can be generated for any file/folder, if authentication is needed, or how to handle errors. More completeness would be beneficial.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description adds meaning: 'Full path to share' clarifies the path parameter, and 'Optional password to protect the link' clarifies the password parameter. This is helpful but could be more explicit about path format or link behavior.

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 it creates a public sharing link for a file or folder. This directly and specifically identifies the action and resource, distinguishing it from siblings like create_shared_folder which creates a shared folder rather than a link.

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, such as create_shared_folder or list_shares. There are no mentions of prerequisites, context, or situations where this tool is not appropriate.

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