Create Alert Urgency

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

The annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=false, and openWorldHint=true, so the basic mutation profile is known. The description adds nothing about duplicate-name behavior, required permissions, validation, or side effects of creating an urgency.

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?

It is a single short sentence with no wasted words, but it is under-specified rather than appropriately concise. The sentence does not earn its place because it provides no information beyond the tool name.

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 create tool with a nested payload and multiple optional fields, the description is far too thin. The output schema may cover return values, but the description still fails to explain the required input structure, constraints, or intended use.

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 description says only 'from provided data' and does not explain the required data envelope, the alert_urgencies type enum, or the required name/description fields. Although some nested properties have schema descriptions, the description itself does not compensate for the 0% top-level schema description coverage.

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 restates the tool name and title almost verbatim: 'Creates a new alert urgency' adds no detail beyond the name, and 'from provided data' is filler. It does not explain what an alert urgency is or how creation differs from siblings such as update_alert_urgency.

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 like update_alert_urgency or list_alert_urgencies. No preconditions, typical scenarios, or exclusions are stated.

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