createCustomerJourneySlide

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

With no annotations, the description must fully disclose behavior. It mentions 'create or update' and the schema reveals update via _index, but the description does not explain side effects (e.g., slide creation/addition, positional updates) or requirements (e.g., existing presentation). This is insufficient 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 a single sentence, concise and to the point. It is front-loaded with the verb and resource. However, it omits important details that could be added without losing conciseness.

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 complexity (3 params, required array, optional nested array), no output schema, and no annotations, the description is incomplete. It does not clarify the update mechanism, expected output, or structure of touchpoints. An agent would lack sufficient context to use the tool correctly.

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 low (33%), only _index has a description. The description adds no parameter details beyond naming 'stages and touchpoints.' It does not explain the nested structure of touchpoints (array of arrays) or the minItems constraint on stages. The schema provides some info, but the description should compensate and does not.

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 states 'Create or update a customer journey with stages and touchpoints,' which clearly indicates the verb (create or update) and resource (customer journey). The tool name suggests it is a slide, and sibling tools are all slide creators, so the purpose is clear. However, it does not explicitly mention 'slide' in the description, slightly reducing clarity.

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 like createAgendaSlide or other slide tools. The description does not specify context, prerequisites, or exclusions, leaving the agent to infer usage.

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