v1.0.0Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description adds no behavioral context beyond what annotations already provide. It does not mention side effects, permissions, idempotency implications, or any caveats. Annotations (readOnlyHint: false, idempotentHint: true) already inform the agent about the write nature and idempotency, but the description itself contributes nothing additional.
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 concise, with both lines earning their place: the first states the purpose, the second gives the HTTP verb and path. It is front-loaded and wastes no words.
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?
Despite having no parameters and an output schema, the description lacks crucial context about what a webhook is, how it behaves, or when to use this tool over similar ones. An agent would have to infer all of this from the name alone, which is risky in a large API surface.
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 input schema has zero parameters Serum sehingga baseline is 4. With no parameters to document, the description does not need to compensate for missing schema details, and the endpoint 'POST /webhooks' is the only relevant call detail.
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 a clear verb and resource: 'Add Webhook.' This is specific enough to know the tool creates webhooks and is not a listing or deletion. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like create_v2_user_webhooks or list_webhooks, though the name itself mostly 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 on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description simply states an action and the HTTP endpoint, with no mention of prerequisites, typical use cases, or which sibling tool might be more appropriate (e.g., create_v2_user_webhooks for user-scoped webhooks).
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
