create_butler

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

Annotations already indicate this is a mutating, idempotent, non-destructive operation. The description adds the scope 'all' and the HTTP endpoint, but gives no additional behavioral context such as side effects, task scheduling behavior, or requirements. It does not contradict the annotations.

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 extremely short and front-loaded: 'Start all Butler tasks.' states the action immediately, and the endpoint line adds a minor implementation detail without padding.

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 zero-parameter tool with rich annotations and an output schema, this is minimally viable. However, it lacks any usage distinction among the closely related butler siblings and gives no detail on what 'starting all tasks' entails, leaving some ambiguity for an agent selecting among similar tools.

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?

The tool has zero parameters and the schema covers 100% of them, so there is nothing for the description to document. The baseline for a no-parameter tool is 4.

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 uses a specific verb ('Start') and a specific resource ('all Butler tasks'), and the word 'all' clearly distinguishes this from the sibling create_butler_by_butler_task, which targets a single task. Even without naming alternatives, an agent can tell what this tool does.

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?

There is no guidance about when to choose this tool over alternatives such as create_butler_by_butler_task or list_butler. The description implies a general trigger action but does not state exclusions, prerequisites, or conditions favoring one sibling over another.

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