create_rootfolder

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

Annotations already indicate this is a mutating, non-destructive, idempotent operation. The description adds little behavioral context beyond 'Create' and the HTTP method; it does not disclose side effects, validation behavior, or error conditions.

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 short, direct, and front-loaded with the action and endpoint. Every sentence earns its place, and the pointer to GET/schema is a compact and useful addition.

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 single-body create tool with an output schema and relevant annotations, the description is adequately complete. The main missing piece is behavioral detail, but the instruction to read GET/schema covers the primary unknown: what body fields are expected.

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 schema only documents 'body' as an opaque object, so the description's clarification that it is a request payload and the guidance to consult GET or /schema for expected fields adds actionable value. Still, it does not enumerate any RootFolder fields, leaving a discovery round-trip necessary.

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 the action ('Create') and the resource ('RootFolder'), and provides the HTTP endpoint. While it doesn't explain what a RootFolder is, the resource name is enough to distinguish it from the many sibling create_* tools.

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?

It implies use when creating a RootFolder and gives a useful prerequisite: read the matching GET or /schema endpoint first. However, it does not state when to prefer this tool over alternatives or provide any exclusion criteria.

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