create_resource

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of disclosing behavioral traits. It mentions creating, applying properties, and saving to disk, but omits critical safety-relevant details such as overwrite behavior (the overwrite parameter defaults to false), path interpretation, resource type constraints, or error handling. This is a significant gap 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?

A single sentence that is front-loaded with the action verb and contains no filler. Every word contributes value, making it highly concise and easily parsed.

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 complexity of 4 parameters, a nested properties object, no output schema, and no annotations, this description is incomplete. It does not explain the format or purpose of 'path', the semantics of 'overwrite', the allowed resource classes, or the return value/error behavior, leaving too much to inference for reliable agent invocation.

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 coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It adds some meaning for 'type' ('given class') and 'properties' ('apply properties'), but leaves 'path' and 'overwrite' entirely unexplained. This is insufficient for a 4-parameter tool with nested objects.

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?

Clearly states the action (Create), the object (a resource of a given class), and the outcome (save to disk). This distinguishes it from siblings like read_resource, edit_resource, or add_resource by emphasizing creation and persistence.

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 on when to use this tool versus alternatives like add_resource or edit_resource. No context about prerequisites, exclusions, or typical workflows is provided.

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